Welp, this would make everyone in here happy lol. Richmond, DC, Norfolk, Maryland

 

But I know how it goes for Richmond. In the bullseye too soon. *sigh*

[Jebman]

Imagine all that fresh snow right on top of that Glacier. It'd be an outright Cryosphere

[overcautionisbad]

I will be holding my breath. It all looked so good for Richmond back on Tuesday, then Wednesday it all changed.

It’s too good to be true right?

Nobody just hands us a freaking hecs 99 hours out(that’s when the northern branch starts to dig)

In 24 hours will be in Nam range lol



Picked the wrong night to go bed early

So I see some excitement has returned for Feb 1st. Y'all left it for dead.

[CAPE]

I slept like a baby and I'm headed out to chisel my jeep out of its encasement and try to get to wok lol. This may have been posted but no time to browse 20 pages.

This is pretty tasty and close enough for a mean at this range. Like I said last night there is plenty of time for guidance to correct any possible errors with the key features, and we all know nothing is ever nailed 5+ days out. More changes likely to come.

[Disc]

Well it's not gonna get there yet, but 5H continues to improve.

Not there, but headed in the right when comparing 0z to 6z.

Looks like the trough/sw is backing west, eliminating some OTS possibilities. But we'll just have to see how far west it backs until they hone into something that's close to a solution. The storm yesterday - the NS wave and the phase kept backing west for days, and for a couple days it was at the sweet spot for us, and then it still kept backing west.

That have something to do with where the PNA ridge will be?
