Obviously just potential at this point, but combining the prospects of massive flooding, svr wx threat, backside blizzard, and maybe even a narrow ice storm potential, this storm could make the GHD storm look like a little b**ch.

Octo-bomb, Groundhog Day, and this potential one make for a nice set of storms. Not to leave out the Dec 2010 MN blizzard either.

The pseudo zonal flow over North America on Friday looks to be

undergoing amplification as we head into the weekend...with eventual

phasing off the northern and southern branches. Whether we end up

with one large storm...or a series of lows remains to be seen.

12z GFS and majority of ensemble members indicate main low tracking

through or west of Southeast Michigan late Saturday...suggesting

we are looking mostly at heavy rain threat for the first half of

the weekend. The 12z European however...indicating a flatter

wave/cold front moving through the first half of the

weekend...with more significant second low pressure system

advancing into the southern/eastern Ohio Valley...placing

Southeast Michigan in favorable spot for accumulating deformation

snow for the second half of the weekend...with just enough cold

air in place or feeding in. Even so...still not enough confidence

to carry more than high chance this far out...see weaker and farther

east solution of the 12z UKMET. Dry and seasonably cold conditions

expected to follow for early next week.

Would a more southern solution actually make sense, just checked the NAO/AO and it looks like it is trending towards neutral thus a more southern solution makes more sense? The euro wants to phase the 2 energies and move it slower while the GFS really whisks this thing through. I don't think the GFS even shows it negatively tilted. Either way looks like WI get's nailed and Chicago get's dissected just like last weekends storm...winter north heavy rains south. We shall see.
