The earlier the trough can go negative tilt for the Thursday storm the better. You can really see this ramp up the moisture on the 12z gfs. This starts as snow for us Wednesday night and probably will go through Thursday night. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

The gfs continues to increase the moisture across the border counties for tomorrow morning. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Big numbers.

No this is definitely over performing. We've had heavy rain and storms basically all night and all morning. Love to see it.

So thankful for this rain. We've needed it.

It'll be snowing this time tomorrow.

I've just learned especially this season to not look for anything too far out. I've been sucked in and let down as well. Maybe things shift better later but we've seen this before.

Some major rain with thunder and lightning coming through.

Bump

18z gfs is a nice flow snow for Thursday, and a nice light event for the next weekend. Promising.

18z gfs coming in more robust for Sunday morning. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Yeah tonight's rainfall is going to put a dent to this dry spell.

Also for this weekend I wouldn't be surprised to possibly see some snow flying around Sunday morning.

Ok so we basically have 2 potentials for some snow. One is next Thursday and the other is possibly next weekend. Both of these systems I'd be extremely cautious with. We are seeing changes from run to run and this is about a week to 10 days out.

Good to see some positives within range on the map. Always remember the 3 day rule though.

We will see for yall outside the mountains. I've seen a lot of heartbreak with yall. The next 7 days look decent.

Beautiful color this morning. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

It'll be much more interesting once we get into next week. 5 days out is my magic number. Things look good but we've been burnt recently.

Just a word from the wise. These fantasy storms are ok but as we have seen the ensembles and longe range model runs have been atrocious this season.

Been like this most of the season.

12z euro. It's in the mid to long range and we've seen what the points look like but this is kind of what we want. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk

Oh yeah yall can get hammered with a Miller A. It will ge nice when that pattern sets back in.

You damn right I do. Im an optimist even when the pattern is crappy. Seen it too many times. The pattern is volatile and honestly it's been like that for most of the season. No reason for that to change now. I hope your right about after the 10th. Many ensembles look to build the EPO ridge out west after that time period but as we've seen the ridge out west collapses...

Overnight Euro didn't look bad. Hopefully we get through this warm-up and then the pattern will be a bit more favorable. Although I've seen that the real time frame to look at is the end of January through the first of February.
