Storm brewing in the Gulf

CONTENTS DELETED

From NWS ALY Long Term:

The latest can ggem...Nam...Gfs...And the gefs are shifting closer to the ecmwf for a notable storm thu night through fri night.  The ecmwf is a little slower on the phasing of the srn and nrn stream short-waves for rapid sfc cyclogenesis to begin south of long island on friday.  The coastal low is also slightly further south...But the h500 low closes off over ny and pa to capture the storm and keep the potential deformation zone snowfall going for the better part of fri night.

Still no mention of the aftermath.

i am less of a weather weenie than y'all but know that the gfs just shifted over to align with the euro things are looking interesting for points to the south and east. vt and adks less so. seems like watchusetts is in the zone.

Hey harv is that from a phone app? If yes what is the app?

Haha fair enough. I never liked weather underground though it seems like they are over optimistic from a skiers perspective. I just asked because I saw the 4G logo in harvs post.

Just a screencap from my phone of the venerable NYSB weather page.  Was in the car and noticed that the amounts had been upped, and the track had shifted north so I thought I would post it.

That GFS(?) map always seems to overestimate amounts, but I still find it useful.  I'm not the best at reading the models.

BTW this storm looks to be coming out the midwest not the gulf? Anyone know?

optimistic? Its a just a map that allows you to use the same models all the weather sites reference

Oh. I always thought they had text forecasts and such such sort of like a less-official NOAA. I pretty much rely on Josh Fox and Lionel Hutz combined with weather.gov. Within 24 hours I find NOAA to be freakishly accurate with location-specific totals, etc.
