The latest GFS model simulates a major to crippling East Coast snowstorm for Sunday. However, as is to be expected this far away from a potential event, the suite of available computer models has not come into consensus for this event. Some show a strong East Coast storm, others push the energy that would generate a storm out to sea, while others do something in between. As Wes discussed yesterday, the key for the storm's development will be whether the northern and southern branches of jet stream come together at the right place at the right time for a storm to develop and track up the East Coast. These details are unknowable at this point, but will come into better focus in the next two days. The bottom line is that overall pattern supports a greater than average chance of a big storm, but that chance is still less than 50/50.Just as it would've been premature to give up on the storm yesterday when models were trending away from the storm, it would be premature to get overly excited/alarmed over the latest GFS model run. Wes Junker will provide a detailed technical analysis of the situation tomorrow.
