From New England Weather Works:

THIS IS NOT A FORECAST YET

Watching the potential for a significant coastal storm, this is in the long range. This is just a heads up and this is the storm on the 20th we were talking about last week.

this is from the 0z GFS for the 20th

there ain't no coastal

now the Euro is toying with us..still long way off

I would like a storm on the 20th please

Looks like 2 clippers this weekend for NNY with 3-5" total for WF and Gore over those 2 events? Should be a nice refresher for the MLK weekend.
