This latest run about as good for southern WI as it can get and it is close to what the EPS and GEFS have been forecasting for a couple of days now.

 

Never the less am forced to remind my self that next weeks "big dog" based on a shallow wave currently 900 miles south west of SF Ca.

 

Still models are so good these days some excitement fully warranted.Last weeks EC storm had only a disturbance in the central Pacific to work with and got it right.

 

Trend here hopefully is our friend!

Pretty highly confident that someone is going to get hammered with this. This trough amplifying into a relatively low amplitude/zonal regime out ahead with an absolutely wicked upper level jet streak (but coming ashore far enough north to avoid becoming a southern slider/Miller A) is a recipe for a very potent storm somewhere in the sub-forum. One of the key things to watch is how soon it closes off at 500 mb.

 

Should add, as others have mentioned, that this system has been showing up for a very long time now on the ensembles and even some of the extended operational guidance. It is supported by a negative/neutral PNA trend, decreasing AAM and a +NAO.

Looks like GFS and GGEM are converging on a path through east central Illinois and and the LP. Depending on the placement of that high pressure in Canada, could spell sleet or rain for Chicago-- most likely wind-driven cold rain though the way this winter has been.

Plenty of time to watch but so far, fwiw, the modeled high pressure is weaker than the Dec 28 storm.

a couple of positive developments opening doors for those a bit further east...the quicker/stronger lead energy helps to keep heights from rising too fast in the easy and it seems like models are slowly shifting the initial slp post lee side cyclogenesis a bit further south. That said, still plenty of room between waves for heights to jack back up, wide open mid-level trajectories from the bulk and the left turn signal won't shut off. Still looks to cut over my head or just west...just more wintery on the lead end.

And I think that makes a huge difference here..

 

fwiw as well, it continues to deepen...  original runs were at 1004, now at 990... encouraging

 

Highs near 50 though on Sunday in areas of LOT.  Far too warm
