This mornings' GFS plots have that nor'easter moved to the east a bit, so
it's not as much a threat as depicted over the weekend. The pressure gradient
along the eastern to southeastern edge of the low just east of the Rockies has
tightened up some for Sunday to Monday. And now that low is forecast to pull
the jet stream southward and produce a major regional storm east of the
Mississippi starting Tuesday.
