00Z GFS makes last ditch effort to catchup w/ ETA

[dg13x]

The low on the new gfs is tracking further north-more in line with eta....the axis of the heavier qpf has also shifted north

lets see what it does from here

Continues this w/ 36hr frame as well

Moves greater QPF totals more northerly

850's also a tad warmer like the eta's

also there has been some talk of 700 RH fields..check out these 700 RH fields different then the ETA..

RH fields do look a lot farther north than the Eta. However, the GFS surface low is STILL tracking across N VA and keeping DCA north in at least a few inches, so the surface map has not shifted much towards the Eta. At this point, though, I'm about ready to give up hope of more than 1-2" here at IAD.

Certainly the mods have gone north. This close to the event we generally need to commit to the likely fact that most if not all of the snow will be north of DCA.
