I like the map...especially when I am right in th middle of it lol

Yeah... Even if it is to early, I like the post/map if the red line is a first call on where he thinks the low tracks with an extent cone included.. Us weenies should be able to have a little fun this far out even if it grates on some.. Beats reading a persons 1st post in the thread and it being on how it would be easier for the OP to post.

I hope people are not taking these maps 2 seriously...or else they will be disappointed later on lol..We should know by now that the models tend to play these games with us....and I'm glad we have not entered the "winter hair loss pattern", or have we? LOL

I became bald after last year.

The 18z GFS Ensembles don't look quite as good as 12z. It is nitpicking, and possibly a result of 18z runs being a tad less reliable, but it is still worth noting. A number of them look like a relatively boring frontal passage, at least around here.

Even the 18z had some snow on the backside. At least we're on the cold side still! :P

My guess you're just seeing some more euro like solutions in the menbers? I haven't compared 12z and 18z though.

SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY...LATEST MODEL SOLUTIONS GENERALLY AGREE ON

AN EVOLUTION TO A MORE AMPLIFIED UPPER LEVEL FLOW AS A BUILDING

RIDGE IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC INDUCES A LONGWAVE TROUGH DOWNSTREAM IN

THE WESTERN U.S. THIS SETS UP AN UPPER LEVEL SOUTHWEST FLOW OVER A

STALLED FRONTAL BOUNDARY THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY...FAVORABLE FOR

MORE WINTRY TYPE SYSTEMS OVER THE LOCAL AREA. HOWEVER...DUE TO HIGH

MODEL VARIABILITY FROM RUN TO RUN AND BETWEEN MODELS...CONFIDENCE IN

DETAILS IN THESE PERIODS REMAINS LOW. OVER THE PAST FEW RUNS...THE

ECMWF APPEARS TO HAVE THE BEST CONTINUITY WITH ITS MORE PHASED

DEPICTION OF THE LEAD SHORTWAVES THAT COULD RESULT IN THE REGION/S

FIRST WINTER STORM SYSTEM TRACKING FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS INTO THE

GREAT LAKES FROM SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT. THE 12Z GFS

HAS A SIMILAR SURFACE LOW...ALTHOUGH HAS A SLIGHTLY FASTER AND MORE

NORTHERLY TRACK. FOR NOW...THE BLENDED MODEL APPROACH WILL KEEP AN

EXTENDED PERIOD OF SLIGHT TO LOW END CHANCE POPS FROM FRIDAY NIGHT

THROUGH MONDAY...WHICH WILL LIKELY BE NARROWED DOWN IN LATER

FORECASTS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES ADVERTISED THROUGH THE WEEKEND

COULD END UP SEVERAL CATEGORIES TOO HIGH...ESPECIALLY FROM SUNDAY

INTO MONDAY.

The Euro wasn't that bad, though, just warm for us. I'm talking about relatively suppressed solutions that only get their act together once they approach the Apps.

Oh, ok.. I really didn't see too much to worry about being suppressed if you're a buyer of the GFS. I'm not.. I haven't looked as close as i'd like though because fixing dinner.

It just surprises me the euro is keeping it a one part main event with no blowup after like the GFS wants to. would think the euro would be all over that..it could change tho.

All dependent on wave interaction and placement of it/them after they cross the rockies. Models are differing on if there is the main upper level system crossing the rockies into the central/nrn plains and a wave diving/rotating around it like the 12z Euro showed or single wave diving into the four corners and kicking out like the GFS has been progging.

Here is the 12z GFS with the single wave moving across the srn plains with the other wave displaced further north and east

Now we have the 12z Euro which moves the upper level system eastward into SD with a wave (hard to see here) at the base rotating around and phasing by 168hr.

Good lord we are seeing a whole bunch of different solutions and ways to spin up a good storm. Now the GFS is stalling our wave over the southwest, slowly kicking out into the plains as a wave comes ashore the pac NW/BC and drops southeast and phases with our wave by 174hr. Unreal.

It's still a good snow event for parts of IA/WI/northern MI
