Bun me if you must ... but this is a little frustrating seeing these runs get cute with their position fixes in that 48 to 70 hour window overnight.   

This look above, is theoretically more supported than any other guidance I've seen, including the GFS, since 3 days ago frankly. 

It doesn't mean that the low has to come within 40 MI S of Block Island like that ... for the record.  However, there's a leitmotif along this thing's modeling history has lacked commitment to where this thing should be, relative to a few different synoptic arguments, wave signature(s) and mass conservation and stuff.    

I've said multiple times over the years that this pursuit is a game of managing nested anomalies.   We have a -PNA, which principle, is an anomaly; inside which we have a positive relative PNA burst, also an anomaly relative to the former.   Inside which hosts this anomalous event, inside of which ... the idiosyncrasies of track and storm morphology dictates a pedestrian showing N-W of roughly HFD-BOS ... while limiting the ferocity SE of that line.  The inner most nested anomaly has the surface preferential to a SE position within 'the cone' - so to speak. 

It's annoying.   Be that as it may ... 

But - as an example - if we look at 42 hour surface featuring of the 06z Euro operational, there is low position ~ 75 to 100 MI E of the Va Capes.  At that time the best quasi-geostrophic forcing is not there.  It's WNW around the Ches. Bay side of the Del Marva stinger.   But this is like teeing off in Golf (metaphor), where you swore you swung a great stroke but you hit the ball 1 deg off the sweet spot and that tiny error ends up being an unsavory fairway fringe lie by the time the ball gets 300 yds down stream.     Just a knee jerk guess ... the models are ending up mid way between the best deep layer forcing, and what may be irresistible ...ultimately real mad mad convective instability out there.    

Any insight into 500 mb heights over Miami? Forgetting your rule of thumb

This is going to usher in a traffic apocalypse in New Haven. They did such a shit job with the January storm that there are still plenty of streets partially blocked and down to basically one lane of traffic for both directions. Also, it looks like they've depleted their mountain of salt by I-91. Going to be a fun commute to the office Monday.

Yeah. There is zero road salt in New Haven. That mountain is completely gone. That's the only import and storage area in the state for salt. I believe it also supplies the 91 corridor up into New England.
