Latest consensus on the storm next weekend.

The storm may arrive on the 25th , Friday.  It will be fast moving and is not likely to produce very deep snows.  Most places will be closer to the 3 to 6 inch range.  The sooner the storm moves in, the less likely that there would be rain with it.

Nat. Weather service:  4" Friday, 3" more Fri. night. Snow showers Saturday.

The    afternoon  data  has SPLIT  and  do NOT agree.  The   GFS Model   shows  2 Lows... the 1st one tracks though  PA and   north of NYC  which pulls up  warm  air from   NC to NYC and CT... and  rain.  The front  stalls on the  East coast and  2nd  low forms  which forces the   rain to snow  over  NC  VA MD  DE  NJ   eastern PA   and NYC    and  se  New england. Behind this systems a NEW  blast of arctic cold air. The  GFS  says  the rain MIGHT  end as snow . 

The  12z  EURO ..whch usually  excels  in this time frame...    keeps the   same    over all  set up and track  from    the previous   model  run...so  the Model appears to be  developing  CONSISTENCY.    The 12z  Saturday  EURO  which came  out at  145pm    keeps the low   MUCH further south  vs the GFS so again   COLD air from the Great Lakes  builds in  NY    WVA  PA   MD   and VA. and  this  keeps  the precip  snow  over  central and Northern  VA  WVA  MD  DE   PA NJ  NYC and southern New England.  For snow lovers  the 0z and 12Z euro   solutions   are  the  BEST and it would  bring  several inches to snow starved    northern half of VA   MD   and DE  into southeast PA.  For   Central   and southwest  VA    this  might be  an  snow to ICE  event .
