That is why I don't see an issue with and I expect a Winter Storm Watch to go up this afternoon. Better to be safe than sorry. Watch can always be downgraded. Even if you just put it in generic terms of "Potential for 6+ inches of snow" and adjust from there accordingly 

Just to clarify, Watches are not downgraded. They are upgraded or canceled.

GFS is gonna score it's biggest coup ever here. I mean I just don't see how it doesn't at this point.

12z GFS: The trough is actually more amplified so the storm initially develops a touch further south. It tucks, but the occlusion process takes it a smidge further east this run which is why parts of the Lehigh Valley get lower totals overall (still 8-12"). The initial jet enhanced precip is also less expansive and has been trending less on the GFS, which also keeps totals lower further NW. Nitpicking here though, mostly just noise. Whichever areas get the most snow is dependent on the very fine scale phasing that occurs that we won't know for another day.

I don’t mean to be a wennie but we know this isn’t happening.  I’m not buying it still I’ll go down with the ship.  Even if everything did come together warmer grounds / 50 degrees tomorrow totals of 20-30” probably are more like 12-16” but still wow.  I’m very very interested to see how this unfolds and it’s been a very enjoyable ride of learning these model outputs with this particular set up.

10 Mile shift NW obliterates the delaware valley...just sayin'

Hey Kevin don't get fooled with that 50 degree stuff....I have seen fast accumulating snow after a high of 62 degrees...that said I am not buying in till I see a little Euro agreement....

GEFS gonna be unchanged mostly for Philly SE, but the orientation of the more SW to NE precip shield is being reflected across the Lehigh Valley where the gradient is tighter. Probably just noise, I guess we'll see. MSLP low placements actually ticked west quite a bit on the GEFS at 12z. And I'm referring to MEAN Total QPF, so honestly there may have just been a rogue member that rained to I-95 that got removed this run :lol:

20-30” would happen, those are insane rates.

A beautiful day before the '93 Super Storm, sunny w/temps in the 50's. And no, I'm not expecting a repeat this weekend.

As Paul said, I think we'll all remain a bit skeptical until and unless we see the Euro move toward the GFS.

I’m not looking forward to making a first call on my page later today. GFS has over a foot, CMC/UKMET have just a couple inches, and who knows what the Euro will show. At this point I’m confident heavy snow makes it to the Delaware River…but how far will it get into PA?

It is why I leave all forecast calls on my page to the professionals! My bad calls would haunt me!!
