GFS backing off storm next weekend (what a surprise)

[Anonymous]

The GFS models are now taking the storm out to sea. Shaping up to be another MISSED east coast storm.

Uh, have you seen the latest 6z GFS?

No. Can you give me a website to go to? Or can somebody post the 6z GFS here?

That would be awesome, probably 12-16" around DC, maybe 1'-2' around Richmond. It looks pretty big to be Jrodd.....

The link that I gave you provides a four-panel chart of the temps at different heights and precipitation amounts that are occuring at that time period. The bottom left chart has the position of the storm and the precipitation. The chart above gives the total 60 hour precipitation accumulation.

If you go through the different charts like the 174 hour and the 168 hour, you'll see the storm in it's earlier positions along the EC. You can see the different amounts of precipitation the storm is putting down at those times and see that it will be in the form of snow by looking at the temperature line (blue = cold warm air 540 and lower; red = warm air over 540).

Jrodd – The GFS is only ONE MODEL. What your are looking at is the operational GFS run.

The GFS is right on track with loosing the storm. Hopefully it will come back midweek. Is this shaping up to be a more southern storm because thats what the models are hinting at.
