We've been on this storm a few days now--and finally, a solution could be in reach. The storm that has battered Cali with 10 inches of rain and 13 + feet of snow in the Mts is heading east. At the same time, some energy is diving in out of Canada and will phase with the Cali storm energy near the SE states. IF, and IF this phase happens at the right time this will be a historic storm. Even if timing is 6-10 hours off--we could get graze rather than the full impact. On top of the possible snow--winds will be strong for a long period of time. Beach erosion will be rather bad. Winds rush from high pressure to low pressure...and there COULD be a 1035 HP over MN while a 970 low sits just east of Cape Hatteras. You won't see 65 MB difference in that time space often other than from a Hurricane.
If the phase timing is off-- the further south and west you sit, the more likely you don't see much snow.
Would start late Christmas day in VA and slowly move northeast-- and really last well into Monday with the winds. Snowfall would meet Winter Storm Warning levels--which is 4 inches. And, the B word is possible, especially those nearest to the ocean.
Map from the Extreme model version--- this is 7 PM Sunday evening. (Miserable Eagles- Vikes game)
A low pressure THAT strong sitting there would have snow falling from Philly down in to NC-- with heavy bands and strong winds.
