12z GEM with +SN into western KY with heavy rain into Chicago, wraps up fast and early

 

looks like it passes over Tim's place

Going to fun to watch this sort itself out. Much more optimistic today then yesterday. Either way, this should end the seasonal uneventful weather so far this month.

To me it seems like its all about the wraparound. If we can get lake contribution with this killer, rare wraparound potential, could be quite snowy. Im seeing a big, but brief, slug of rain with the main L, regardless of track. A general rule of backside snow, based on my observation, is if a deformation band is progged, it will overperform, if its just run-of-the-mill "wraparound", dont bank on much. But this storm is no ordinary storm, so I am liking wraparound potential.

The key with the 12z GFS is that it is maintaining the sharpness and favorable orientation for strong secondary cyclogenesis. It is just having a terrible time resolving the surface low forming but the 500mb pattern is very favorable.

 

 

I think this is pretty on point. If i had to guess and given the strength of the pac jet, i think we'll see a trend towards deeper troughing over the central US.

The key is how far the first piece can get east, that sets up the location of the trough axis and then the 2nd piece swings underneath it. It will be a while before the models get a true handle on where that first piece sets up.
