Wintry 1/26-1/28 Winter Storm Potential

I think those are also the slowest members. Check that time stamp. This would make sense given the shortwave evolution in the west going more west. Phases late. In that solution it’s likely just rain, maybe a mix somewhere?

No it’s a good snow storm.

In this situation if we get a phaser it will 100% snow on someone. The dynamics of the system will supply the cold air.
 
Simply shocking it's like I've been saying this for 3 days now lol.

You're not the only one who has ;) The one time a NW trend might actually do us some good lol.

I haven't seen it posted yet but man does the RGEM have some very early stream interaction, not sure how it would play out but I assume it would be even more favorable than what the FV3 showed.

Eps has really shifted west with qpf....

love seeing the trends continue overnight. how often have we seen big shifts with precip and lp placement within 54-66hrs in the past? i wouldn't throw in the towel on this one for anyone outside of far western nc. just need to see the runs today continue to bring that precip inland. would be awesome to see a mini 2000 redux/bust again to see how the mets would go from sunshine to 2-4" of snow in the forecast within a day or so of the event.

The awesome thing with this setup is it won't take much at all to really shift the qpf field inland. The 6z EPS looks MUCH improved over the 00z run which was already solid. The 12z runs are about to start, NAM has been behind the curve a bit but all we need to see is it trending better. The key models to watch will be the GFS, FV3 and Euro/UK.
 
On the other hand, there seems to be a better concentration of slp's too far offshore, so makes me wonder if the trend has stopped.... 12z runs should give clarity

To me it looks like a much better cluster off the NC coast with a few bombs closer to the coast as well. The 00z run has the members weaker and more strung out so it would seem to be a better trend! I wouldn't look at the EPS as a leader in this either since it hasn't been handling this well at all. The FV3 has been leading the way with the trends and the RGEM actually looks quite interesting too. Let's see what the 12z runs show!
 
I am trying not to, but I really feel myself getting sucked back in to this. It's something I've really tried not to do this Winter. Would be awesome to have a last second 2000 like storm. Of course, I wouldn't expect that much but still. Props to everyone in this thread that's kept hope and sniffed this thing back out, even if it does amount to nothing, it certainly did trend NW.
