I think it’s time to write this storm off.  If closes off too far to our south .   Onto the next one..

Unlikely for this to offer a good surprise for the forum, but I'd wait to see if the energy from the kicker winds up more strung out and further WNW.  Very curious to see the 500mb depictions at 12z and 00z.  Im not buying the low closing off down in Georgia.  Regardless, fun one to track.

If 06z Euro brings it NW, you're going to see the mother of all Bi-Polar mood swings on here.

Traditionally, this is where you would want the models losing the storm.  Not sure how well we can forecast the upstream kicker yet.  The primary, on the other hand, really looks like it winds up wayyyy too far into the deep south.   Still not buying it.  By 12z tomorrow, we can either throw in the towel or get ready to throw snow.

I have never seen a storm this far south and west of us on computer models just suddenly come back and hit us, which would be about 150+ mile shift west.

Congrats DT ?

How can anyone write this off already? The western energy is still off shore, and has not been sampled. Hurricane hunter plane is scheduled to fly and sample this when it comes ashore tonight or tomorrow morning.

Tonight I think it’s full OTS on operationals but ensembles only get marginally worse. Tomorrow night, thinfs will start to tick back

I don’t know who this is but I’m not giving up hope until tonight

Recon data was in 00z last night

The 1/28 0z ECMWF develops and tracks an impressive 500 mb low in Tennessee through Alabama and Georgia and then off the southeast coast. That track would favor an out-to-sea solution, as shows up on the surface maps. Model skill in resolving synoptic details should be improving today and tomorrow. So, if these solutions begin to lock in with the improved-skill output later today and especially tomorrow, the risk of snow in such cities as Philadelphia and New York City would diminish on Sunday.

It's worth noting that about 20% of individual EPS members showed 6" or more snow in New York City and just over 10% had 10" or above amounts. In short, a significant snowfall, while decreasing in probability, is still a low probability not zero probability outcome.

On a separate note, temperatures have been somewhat higher than modeled yesterday and again this morning. Friday and Saturday still look to be the coldest days with highs struggling toward 20°, lows in the single digits in New York City and some subzero lows in the colder suburbs. The opening week of February will likely start off dry but still colder than normal.

Nice shift west by the euro

FYI we just had a rare Euro>GFS shift for the most recent storm in UK.

I’d want to see a positive trend by tonight 0z to be confident of a major hit here. Good that with even a track SE of the benchmark some snow makes it to the coast/city as it unravels. As others mention this has to occlude later and upper low track further north.
