It IS that Saturday stuff ahead of the main system that could have some implications for a few. See the current mess and what happened last night. Some of the models now have a stronger front runner on Saturday which naturally could suppress this event a little and or force it south some. The euro etc sort of hinted at this. It however has the strongest front runner and develops it well as it heads towards New England. Thus keep a eye out on the Saturday stuff. Basically i suspect this thing is not even close to being set in stone yet. Again see where this thing enters the Plains at as well.

I garee. I think it will trend south a bit but dont think there will be enough cold air to provide much snow. Anything to prevent a cold rain

Just keep in mind that if models are off with Saturday and thus it ends up weaker or whatever it could go back the other way as well. With THIS pattern i don't trust anything the models show beyond 24hrs. Thus i will take a wait and see approach. Thus all i am doing is mentioning what could happen.

Note Saturday and how that is looking more impressive with each new run. That in turn has implications on this storm and thus the subtle shift south. Not saying this continues or is the final outcome but just to watch that system on Saturday and ofcourse where this one enters the plains at.

So basically if the Saturday system is stronger, the second one won't have as much energy to work with and thus doesn't develop as much..correct?

The Ukie is pretty far south!

So then it would probably be a win win for most of us in the rain/freezing rain zone now (S. Wisconsin/Michigan southward).

If you don't like snow it would be a good thing.

This low has hardly no backside qpf, although GFS and NAM have been looking a bit better the last few runs.

So a farther south track would still be rain or maybe no precip.

Probably better to wait and see before trying to make such assumptions.

It's a bit frustrating (all around, not just me :)) to see such a strong low eject into the plains with a decent track, but not much precip in the cold sector. Actually, there isn't even much of a cold sector at all.

If this were late March or early April, that's one thing...but in late Feb., you'd think there would be enough cold air around.

Still time for things to change a bit...but it's never fun to hope that your little area will be in the tiny swath of decent snowfall.
