This is just coming from someone who went to the Bowme school of negative thinking, but I think the future shifts will be south, so if I had to pick a jackpot zone, I'd go from Kansas City/Omaha east through DVN, C/N Illinois (probably about Peoria) then through N Indiana (South Bend or thereabouts) and then on to Detroit and Toledo.

 

lol just because of one further south/weaker run?

 

1/1 on my meltdown picks.

Dammit, well I know who I should've picked...

The wavelength between this system and its front runner are so close....hard to believe this thing could gain any appreciable latitude...

 

 

That is how I see it as well. Should come out of the rockies further south and move up into the OV area with peak intensity. Not buying this western lakes stuff right now either. DT pretty much echo'd this.

 

The lakes Vortex shifted well South on this run.  This thing has no where to go.

 

If the lakes vortex ends up further South, slower to exit.  Then the SLP will probably end up coming out of Oklahoma but either Way cold air will be out front.  Seeing a widespread winter zone on this one.

0z GFS certainly trended towards the 12z Euro suite in closing off the front running storm over the Lakes and pulling it out slower...and in allowing heights to build over the Davis Straight and Greenland, blocking up the pattern a bit.

 

However, it is one run of the GFS. Let's see what its ensembles do and what the Euro does in an hour and a half.

Rofl at DT comment! :lmao:

 

Skilling's latest thoughts.

 

The latest 6pm Thu GFS model run offers little to counter the notion late next week's storm could end up this winter's biggest (not necessarily saying a lot given the lackluster nature of this snow season) and that it may be preceded by a less intense but potentially messy early week system. The latest predicted track of the late week storm is closer to the more southerly tracks put forth earlier Thursday by both the GFS and European ensembles from earlier today. The storm's a long way off and forecast adjustments--even significant ones-- are ALWAYS possible at that range in time. So don't mark this one a "done deal" yet. But there appears to be nothing in this current GFS run that suggests the notion of a potentially significant late week storm--and very possibly a snowstorm at that---has yet been derailed. What IS interesting is how this latest forecast concentrates the heaviest precip in the Thursday/early Thursday night time frame. It also brings the closed 500 mb low right over us as the system occludes. You can get some very respectable accumulations out of such a scenario. A fascinating forecast situations with many questions still present.

:lol:

 

BTW.. I like how the model really blows up the first system ahead of it.

It certainly has enough space between the early week storm and the late week storm to do that...with a nice ridge well into Canada in between. I don't think it's right although that storm would be fun for the western lakes...per the Canadian. I'm not noticing the upgrade yet :lol:
