Okay, so now it is time to share some thoughts. These observations and ideas I’ve had up about 3 days ago for Premium Consulting Members, but at this point I think the writing is on the wall so let’s roll. The whole forecast for this storm comes down to jet stream dynamics and how they influence upper and mid-level low-pressure development.

Good morning everyone! HAPPY SUNDAY!! Snow has started in southern Delaware and the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area already. Clouds are on the increase with temperatures ranging from the single digits in the Catskills to the upper 20s in Cape May, New Jersey.

Okay, so I think, while, I'm looking over the warning and watches, I just want to touch on my forecasting philosophy, specifically when models do their typical waffling as we get closer to the event. I personally, do not change a forecast because of one model or another, even the ECMWF, unless there is a fundamental change in the overall 500 MB environment. I think this practice leads to more confusion and hurts sending out the message.

I think no matter what conclusion I come to this afternoon, and I have the idea in my mind but just fleshing out the details, someone will be disappointed. Can’t help that. I have an idea of what I want to do and been developing the forecast for the past five days in the Premium Area. Now it is just down to location of lifting parameters and thermal gradient analysis on a vertical and horizontal orientation.

I want to be on record that I stand with @RogerPielkeJr and against @skepticscience, as I stand against this action of making blacklists and attacks on scientists' careers. 1/9 Look, this is for all the fellow meteorologists, climatologists, and atmospheric scientists that follow this feed. We can all disagree on climate, weather forecasts, theories, and the rest. We can disagree on whether climate projections are realistic or not. 2/9

We are pretty quiet right now as you can see, but I suspect that will star to change after 2 PM. Right now the lower levels of the atmosphere are the most unstable. If you look at this Lifted Index observation map, you might wonder why we aren't see thunderstorms pop up all over the place right now.
