What is interesting is the trof continues to center is self a little further west and is stronger. Trof digs further south and west and taps some warmer air and allowing it to advect northward, creating a stronger baroclinic zone....stronger storm. Parts of eastern TN/KY in the warm sector get 850mb temps up to 10 deg C, much warmer than the 12z run showed. 

 

65-70 dews off the coast as the trof carves itself out.

Big storm still looks to follow for the weekend as well. 

 

It really tries to but the wave is more sheared out/positive tilt this run as it crosses the Rockies compared to the 12z run and last nights run. But the baroclinic zone continues to be advertised as quite impressive in that timeframe if anything were to eject out over it.

Yeah there is going to be too much confluence behind the first storm that the second storm isn't going to have a chance. That being said the pattern shift to a trough out west with a strong baroclinic zone like you mention in place should yield down the road.

Harry, you got the Snow maps for EURO BAC? QPF? 

 

it's kind of disappointing and a bit goofy for a 960 low over MI....lol....widespread 1-6" over much of MI, OH, IN, and KY....of course we're discussing snow fall for a fantasy bomb 8 days out.

 

taken verbatim Christmas day in MI, OH, and IN would be complete with whiteouts and 50mph winds.   I see GGEM lost the storm but the UK looks ominous at 144, (but probably for the guys further west)

No antecedent arctic airmass in place means this storm is DOA if you're as far east as me (assuming the present iteration of a bomb like storm is correct).

 

Agree, and imagine if there were a 1040 high pressing in from the nw instead of a dying low.    Most of the snow that falls is backlash after the storm cranks over MI.

 

Still would be a cool storm to follow

Pattern change the ALE way: from zzzzzz to "wouldn't suck." Step by step.

 

 

I'm playing some catchup, doing some clicking and looking at the latest GFS ensembles, the Euro honking, etc...there is definitely something brewing. Unconventional go big or go home phase setup with a decent ceiling if it all comes together. Bonus points for timing. Quite a few lookers in the bunch.

That or if the whole trough axis shifted east by about 500 miles.

 

7 days to go. Who knows what'll end up happening.

I would rather be in Bo's location.

 

May have to plan a trip to Chicago for this one...

At least we do have a pretty good signal for a storm of regional significance between now and New Years 2015.

Lets hold off travel plans for a bit on this one laugh.png. There are so many possibilities...at this point I dont see Chicago anymore gold then we are. Initially this certainly looks like a burst of rain...what happens with the L after is anyones guess.
