  1. I think we're gonna see accumulating snow from this...possibly significant if things can align correctly. This upper level pattern is generally favourable for our area, especially with the ridge bridge to the north of the upper low. Would like to see more consistency on guidance. A wave is expected to develop as a secondary low along the front, so models will probably struggle with the sfc low track. If track is up the spine of the apps it becomes slightly more challenging as well.
  2. Here's a look at the location of the energy from the time of 6z ECMWF initialization. I suspect model guidance will continue to struggle as the energy is embedded within a broad/complex jet streak out over the North Pacific. The energy is incident on the west coast by ~0z Tuesday.
  3. Interesting to note that the GFS OP is within the Northwest quadrant of the ensemble envelope
  4. Thank you. Nice to be back... hope to chime in from time to time this winter.
  5. For those curious, these are the >3” probs from the other two ensemble suites. 12z GEFS 12z GEPS
  6. NAM has the 12" line sneak through east end of the city (Toronto). I'll eat crow if this verifies.
  7. The weekend system is confusing for a few reasons: 1) Very slow movement of the upper low 2) Highly variable precipitation rates + banding 3) Marginal thermals, causing snowfall accumulations to be dependant on precip rates. Areas with stronger upward motion may win out.
  8. 6z EPS looks pretty favourable for Toronto. It has 60-70% probability of >3".
  9. 12z GEFS mean 700mb RH looks pretty decent from DTX--->YYZ
  10. Video I created which discusses the differences between the CMC and GFS:
