Not crazy about the weak trough being in place of where we would like to see HP.

Like this past storm, said trough tends to shear off the cold sector precip leaving a narrow heavy snow corridor.

However all we really need is for the low to not ride the apps, or be west of course.

We'll at least have a chance.

This was based on the 6z GFS.

Hopefully that WPC graphic is closer to what we see next week.

We have received several questions about the weather next week. The computer models that we Meteorologists use as guidance have been hinting at a potential system that could bring winter impacts to our region. Attached is an image that puts these questions into a better perspective.

The disturbance that could eventually develop is still all the way up on the west fringe of the Aleutian Islands. That is over 4000 miles away! As we very recently experienced with this last week's system, a difference on the order of tens of miles can make a big difference in the overall impacts. As it stands now, one model has the system directly overhead Wednesday, while another has the system well to our south, with our forecast area remaining almost completely dry.

We forecast up to 7 days out, which does include the time frame in question. Right now, experience tells us there are still many details that need to be resolved in the coming days. We will be sifting through the data and examining all the models, so you don't have to. In the meantime, enjoy the warm and relatively dry weekend ahead!
