Notice the blue streak in the Plains...very important energy that will either cause a blizzard in the Northeast or a near miss. Blue in Gulf is the southern Jet and when these 2 combine - a very big storm is likely to explode off the Mid Atlantic coast by Tuesday nite. All modeling suggests this is going to be a near miss....and let's hope so. Don't see any reason to go against the models now...with only a 2 in 5 chance that it misses the northern energy and shovels will be working by Wednesday morning. At this time 1"-3" snowfall from NJ to Conn.
with 3-6" over Cape Cod.

Todays map showing calm and cold in the East...a weak low in Plains and front in the Gulf. It's these 2 systems that will become a powerful Atlantic storm ...and stay far enough east to spare the big cities a March Blizzard.....or will it ?
Above...liquid amounts predicted for this storm based on an offshore track. Red line is .25" which if it fell at night when cold enough would translate to 1"-3"......green line = .50".....translating to 4-6" Cape Cod.
Below....a look at where the models put this storm by Wednesday early.
You can clearly see they are in very good agreement.

Above in order: Canadian, Euro, GFS, Ukmet. Below...high temperatures expected for this time next week....a sure signs of spring across much if not all of The Nation. We will be watching this closely.
