Potentially dangerous weather in store this weekend
I decided to stray away from the other thread because after looking at the latest model runs tonight, this is truly looking like a serious flooding threat for the Mid-Atlantic and further up ... Severe weather in the Southland and Southeast ... potential for major flooding in Eastern TN, the Western Carolinas, and the Mid-Atlantic ...

On top of that...
It appears that another cold shot will head to the Deep South for the Feb 25-27 time frame. I would expect snow or at least frozen precip above a line from Huntsville, TX across central LA, just south of Vicksburg, MS and heading ENE towards NE AL on the 25th. This line moves further South(aboout 50 miles) on the 26th for most portions of the South except TX. On the 26-27th another storm begins to brew off of Brownsville, TX and moves NE as it increases in intensity, "landfalling" in Central LA and continuing NE along the approaching front and providing the already cold and snowpacked areas(if it hasn't been washed away) with another dose of snow, hopefully not on the scale of the Blizzard!!
And yes Stormsfury appears to have nailed the potential for severe weather over the S and SE this weekend. Everyone KEEP ALERT AND STAY SAFE!!

I just updated my prognostic discussion for today (last one I'll issue because it's go time.)
Looks more like a squall line threat and two waves of heavy precip, however, tornadoes still are possible with wind fields favorable for the aforementioned with the stronger cells ... QPF fields look a bit lighter in Eastern TN and the Mid-Atlantic ... heavy rains preceding the warm front, and looking like Eastern TN, through to VA, and parts of the Mid-Atlantic getting dryslotted....
With that said, this morning's runs look a little bit better for the Mid-Atlantic ...

Still looking like thunderstorms, and with some possible severe, however, the models are taking the low further west and north of Florida. The best dynamics may be too far northwest (except the Florida Panhandle and maybe Western Central Florida) ... however, with that said, this is looking like a very strong low ... 995 mb deepening down into the 970's mb range in Central NY by Sunday ...

Gotcha ...
12z GFS more aggressive in QPF fields off the West coast of FLorida
12z ETA much less aggressive ...
The 12z GFS depicting a potential squall line, whereas the 12z ETA does not.

GFS
http://www.nco.ncep.noaa.gov/pmb/nwprod ... 0_072m.gif
Notice the difference across the West Coast of Florida between the two?
I actually prefer the GFS over the ETA somewhat but confidence is only about medium in this case...
