Wowza. 992mb over STL. 850mb 0 deg isotherm through Chicago. Heavy snow snow across eastern MO, northern MO into southern/southeast IA.

This run could be favorable for Chicago, there is a blocking high to the North of MI so the low will be sliding ENE vs NE.

The Euro phase on this run reminded me of the GHD phase. Everything had to be perfect to get that thing to bomb on this run.

Sure did...If that thing slows down, and we get some good cold air in place, the storm will most likely move further south/east, or similar to the GHDB.

yikes this run of the Euro has got my attention. The energy will come out in pieces, this weekend will see some decent snows at MSP and the surrounding area. But a major portion of the energy will come out around Monday or Tuesday and it will wind up like a top. If, and this is a big if, should it verify area's from Davenport to Chi Town could see a large snowstorm while areas south of there could see a major severe weather outbreak. I debated about bolding major severe outbreak, but decided against it. Needless to say us weather weenies will have a fun time with this one. As a second thought, as we get closer we may want to pay close attention to what the pro mets are saying. Having said that, if this run of the Euro does indeed verify, and that is a big question mark now, could this thread go into storm mode??? Way to early I know, but would a system like this pose that kind of response here?

Spending early mornings with the Euro a week ahead of a storm that may not even end up panning out is the pits of desperation for me. I like weather, but a week out, both the GFS and Euro gave decent solutions, but it's still hard to feel good. It's not good to be in the bullseye a week out anyhow.

It sucks this potential storm is still a week away but hard not to get excited given the fact that we didn't see anything like this all last winter.

Still a lot of runs to get through and the further southwest the wave got on tonights runs scares me some.

I haven't seen the 0z ensemble yet, but comparing the 12/4 0z operational to the 12/03 18z ensemble members of the GFS the 12/04 0z operational doesn't make much sense to me, as only one member of the 18z ensemble agreed with the 12/04 0z run.

Figures... Euro jumps in bed with the GFS and the 06z gfs doesn't put out. If the models ever get so good they can lock in a storm outcome this far out what fun would this sick addiction be? Bring on 12z :)

t-snow12.. thanks much for quoting my post earlier last evening and explaining what I need to be focusing on.

Go let your weenie hang out with the 6z DGEX.

As far as the 6z GFS goes, I'm thinking it's a blip. Ensembles will be out in 10 minutes. If I had to guess, the vast majority will show continuity with the 0z run.

hehe, ssc.. can always find one model to satisfy our desires.

yeah hopefully and probably just a blip.. but in the back of my mind I can't help but to think the least desirable outcome will happen as has been the weather here mostly since the GHD blizz. that's just silly thinking though.

I need to get back to bed for and hr or two.. stayed up way to late last night (3:00am) because of this sickness. I got woke up at 4:30 and jumped out of bed faster than I did as a kid on Christmas morning and went straight for my next model fix... Sick.
