HYPE! East Coast Storm Around the 4th?


It has shown up almost constantly on the GFS and EURO the last couple of days, and the pattern would support it. A Nor'easter around April 4th. I don't like over-hyping storms so far out but the weather pattern would support it, as there will be a ridge over the west creating a much more amplified weather pattern which will allow the trough in the east to pull down cold air. There is also blocking over the Atlantic. Not enough to to suppress the storm to the south and out to sea and not enough to cause the storm to go west of the Appellations, so if a storm does indeed develop around this date it would have to go up the east coast. But, as is always the case about 10 days out things could change in the models and there are still things that need to be worked out like if it will be cold enough for snow south of New England. I will have more on this over the next week.
