End of January/early February storm potential?

I'd be curious to know when was the last time we had a sfc low that strong in that area.

Perhaps the Christmas storm of 2009? I know that had the main low pressure in AR and a strong on as well. It tracked mostly north as it continued to deepen then NW over Iowa.

IF the UKMET is right and the High pressure to the NW is much less impressive then on the GFS or GGEM then it'd be possible to have a bit of a NW component imo.

What has been seen can not be unseen

the GGEM :wub: :wub: :wub:

lol you are setting yourself up don't do it..... i personally think this is going to go pretty far west. Now that the models have locked in and begin to handle the pacific jet I think without a huge block in place the only thing that stops this from going way west is the orientation of the polar vortex so i think that is the thing to key in on (storm wont go west of the vortex) or at least it'll cut and die. If its going to strengthen as it heads east watch for the phase on the models and make sure its east of the PV. Gotta make sure the PV isn't slowly migrating west with each model run and also how the pacific S/W is coming in. The gfs wants to take the southern pacific S/W and dig it deep into the longwave trough out west it ends up leaving a ton of energy behind.

I'll say it right now, the worst Detroit gets is ice, this wont be rain not with the blocking highs in Canada.

Not exactly, verbatim past 144 keeps heaviest stuff in OH.

Yeah and I question how it phases the upper support/transitions to the coast. Until 144 it looks rock solid, after things get a little funny, especially a system potentially in the 990-995 range, It wont jump to the coast that quick.
