Weekend Storm Update

Models during the day have shown a supressed system which was pushed south by a strong polar vortex (acting as a block) from the storm pushing north. The nightime models have really slowed the storm down, and as a result, have started a north trend. Could this be due to the polar vortex's strength being overestimated or just a result of the storm slowing down and phasing with a distrubance over the midwest? This is the question that will have to be answered. My gut instinct says this will continue to trend north. Model runs will be important in the next 48 hours to see the path the storm will take. Models today have shown no precipitation over the area. It has also pushed back the start time to Saturday. More to come.
