LES storm still intact.

That's the beauty of LES, the storm can miss you... but then it doesn't miss you. :)

Why should a snowstorm lover be thrilled about a NW or W flow LES event if they're not immediately downwind of a lake?

In fact, why should anyone in Michigan east of I-69 be thrilled about LES if they want big snows?

Decent agreement between the GFS Parallel and the GEM with a 3 storm approach.

 

1st - A 22-23th mostly rain storm up the east coast and out to sea.

2nd - A 24th Ohio Valley low.

3rd - A 26th Low moving through northern Indiana.

 

They basically take the triple phaser from yesterdays runs and split it into 3 separate storms and spread the wealth. 

 

As was mentioned earlier, I also am not ready to latch on to any solutions until we get some better sampling, but if we don't get the bomb, this 2 or 3 storm solution seems reasonable.

I'm riding the Canadian as a compromise. Izzi with a voice of reason:

JUST AFFECTED JAPAN...SO IT HAS A LONG FAIRLY AND DATA SPARSE REGION

OF THE PACIFIC TO TRAVERSE BEFORE ARRIVING IN OUR AREA. AS IS

TYPICAL WITH LARGE SCALE PATTERN CHANGES...THERE HAVE BEEN

SIGNIFICANT RUN TO RUN MODEL VARIATIONS IN THE HANDLING OF THE

DETAILS OF THIS CYCLONE/DEVELOPING TROUGH AND WOULD ANTICIPATE

FURTHER CHANGES IN LATER MODEL RUNS.

AT THIS POINT...FAIRLY HIGH CONFIDENCE THAT A STORMIER AND

EVENTUALLY COLDER PATTERN WILL SETTLE IN NEXT WEEK. INITIALLY LOOKS

TO BE MORE OF A RAIN/SHOWER EVENT EARLY IN THE WEEK TRANSITIONING TO

MORE FLURRIES/SNOW SHOWERS AS THE UPPER LOW SETTLES IN OVER THE

REGION. LATEST RUNS REALLY ARENT LOOKING TOO FOREBODING FOR

SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL...BUT AT THIS POINT WOULD REALLY CAUTION ABOUT

LATCHING ONTO ANY ONE SOLUTION AS THERE WILL LIKELY BE MORE MODEL

VARIABILITY IN THE COMING DAYS. CERTAINLY SOME POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR

TRAVEL IMPACTS HEADING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK.

There are plenty of options on the table for this timeframe....good and bad obviously....but so many crazy little and big details coming together can make a huge difference one way or the other...

 

splash in the fact that we haven't had a winter big dog with gulf feed in awhile and I'm still totally on board for tracking this sucker....

 

reading over most of the offices' AFDs...they all seem to have similar sentiments to IZZI at LOT....picture has become clearer in some aspects with many aspects to go still
