It's going to be supressed, and RIC/Bob Chill gets the brunt of it.

That's a latent heat bomb across the Gulf and southeast states. It would 100% trend north if it were 120hrs out.

[bncho]

Congrats NC.

At least this storm shows the potential for Feb 11+

north carolina come on down!

[psuhoffman]

Charlotte is not getting 46” of snow. And I don’t care what the gfs says for 72 hours let alone 300.

330 hour snow map is so unnecessary Potentials there and it’s 2 weeks out. All that matters atm

[bncho]

And then there's one last kick to the balls at the very end of the run. Maybe it'll climb up the coast. It's a normal GFS run, lol.

[Fozz]

In long range GFS world, North Carolina is the new Jay Peak.

[Amped]

And the second storm just misses Atlanta with the jackpot, otherwise it would be 2 20"+ storms in 72 hrs. Has to be one of the most entertaining fantasyland runs in years.

[psuhoffman]

Can we just start ignoring the op gfs?  Especially at lead times we shouldn’t be looking at any operational frankly.

Let the GFS dream of giving the South what the real world gave us in February 2010.

Euro Ai gives us 0.25" of precip in the next 16 days. Arctic desert.

[jayyy]

Tuesday Night
A chance of snow after 1am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 18. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
Wednesday
A chance of snow. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 30. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Wednesday Night

It wasn’t far off from a couple systems swinging by, though. For whatever that’s worth. 
 

On another note, the regular Euro continues to be pretty unenthusiastic about any potential system next week

Or the new Palisades Tahoe. Hey, they got mountains.

Atlanta getting 3 feet is 100% realistic, though.

Maybe for the in land peeps, but not good for the coast. Especially with all that ice, the rain would have nowhere to go except people's basements. 

Got the whole weekend to see what happens.

It's in a league with the GFS.  That's not a complement.

[GreyHat]

Nws Baltimore put something out about it in their 5 a.m

 Hazardous outlook

There is a Slight winter storm threat from late Tuesday night into Wednesday. If this threat materializes, there may be travel disruptions.

Huh? 6z gfs has shittyfrontalpassage snow. Little swath of 1-3”. Then about a foot 6 days later and ends the run with a HECS for Houston TX lol.

[GreyHat]

If the long range GFS was to be correct, it also shows  HP 1054 coming down from Canada. That of course would push that system in the gulf OTS.
