get so sick of hearing that on here and in afd's. you know there is a 90% chance your done for once the sampled excuses start.

So am I, but there's a chance that it's not being handled right by the models. Albeit slight.

All the moisture has been kept up north - would like to see this drought disappear this month!

Onto the GGEM.

what a waste of time and potential

congrats UP :axe:

I hope its wrong in regard to this storm, but over the next 384 hours the U.P would be absolutely BURIED with lake effect and synoptic storms. Almost makes me want to take a 2 week vacation to Houghton.

I actually am happy that this system looks to lay down some snow up north, at least someone in the region gets it, but I'm starting to worry this December matches last December's futility if we go back into a boring pattern.

The next 2 weeks is colder and more active than any single day last winter. How is it boring?

Not speaking about this storm as being different in this case, but the lack of data sampling over the Pacific is a known issue and small deviations in a model can make huge differences down the road, which is why it is mentioned here and with the NWS. So I would be cautious about your unilateral skepticism of it being mentioned

GGEM looks like it has the northern wave, then 2 waves on the southern side. One passing by Chicago at 90hr and then the piece in TX that shoots out 12 hours later.

UKMET is still all southern solution.

Edit: In the end, it would be nice to see the southern solution -to be able to chip away at this drought. Any form of water would be welcome to the Plains states particularly.

I understand the so called lack of data over the pacific and I should have left the afd's useage out of it in the middle range but, I was having a baby tantrum after the 00z gfs. Its when weenies start throwing the sampling card out when the trend is crystal clear that we're screwed that grates at me. Funny how the Euro way back with 'all that lack of data sampling' had the storm ending this way first until it caved.

The sampling line holds water…but we have pretty good consensus right now for a major fly in the ointment…this isn’t something that will be corrected by minor sampling related shifts.

Definitely looking like a waste of some pretty good potential during a pattern shift.

Short and sweet no weenie AFD from MKE. Maybe new model Data will burn them :rolleyes:

FOR SAT NT AND SUN...A STRONG SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL TRACK FROM THE

NRN HIGH PLAINS TO MN WITH ANOTHER UPPER TROUGH DIGGING INTO THE 4

CORNERS REGION OF THE SW USA. AT THE SFC...A LARGE S-N INVERTED

SFC TROUGH WILL MOVE ACROSS THE MS RIVER VALLEY INTO THE GREAT

LAKES. THERE MAY BE A COUPLE RELATIVELY WEAK LOW PRESSURE AREAS

WITHIN THE TROUGH. ONE THAT WILL TRACK FROM MN INTO NRN WI AND

ANOTHER FROM IL TO LAKE ERIE. THE SE FLOW AHEAD OF THE SFC TROUGH

WILL MAINTAIN FAIRLY MILD TEMPS SO WILL MAINTAIN A MIXTURE OF RAIN

AND SNOW BUT HAVE SOME CONFIDENCE IN ALL RAIN FOR SUN OVER FAR SE

AND FAR SRN WI. THUS ONLY MINOR SNOW ACCUMULATION IS EXPECTED AT

THIS TIME AND MAINLY OVER THE NW CWA.

Definitely looks bad for most of you guys. Turtle to Daddylonglegs is still in play.

12z NAM should be a good hit for those on the northwest fringe of the subforum.

Yeah they got a chance for a little early holiday mood snow...madison looks iffy and QPF starved on the euro. Basically turned in to the least desirable outcome though.

pretty much...maybe the trends continue and that middle wave closes off super early and just plows through as a decent artic front.
