A Look Ahead Into Wednesday / Thursday

With this clipper over for today, the next focus will be on a developing storm for the Wednesday - Thursday timeframe. The Canadian and EURO models have been hinting at a low pressure tracking from the SE coast, up to the Outer Banks and then east of Jersey to the "benchmark" (or just inside). The benchmark is a noted area, 40N 70W, where most of our significant snowstorms move through especially for New England). Also, this looks to be a much slower moving storm than we have had this year and will also effect a larger area.

The GFS has come around to the idea and has the storm, but has it further into the ocean and only scraping the East Coast. Tonight, the NAM also shows the storm, although we are at hour 84 on the 84 hour model (not the greatest at this range) but I am encouraged to see it there, and very amped up. There will obviously be some questions with track, intensity and so forth with this storm, but this is definitely one that has my attention. This will effect a large area, from the Gulf States to the Southeast to the Mid Atlantic through New England.

So, time to watch the continuity from run to run and see further cohesion in coming up with a track. There will be many updates coming, so please follow along on twitter and facebook!
