KLOT update (not Ricky) unimpressed. But the combo of Angrysummons and A-L-E-K  will be hard to keep down.


Thursday through Tuesday...

Continued cold conditions are expected through the remainder of the
forecast period, including a reinforcing shot of even colder air for
the late weekend into early next week.  Multiple periods of snow
also remain likely, though different portions of the forecast area
are favored with each one, and nothing looks overly significant at
least into early next week.

Is this the update of the old EE rule? The AA rule. When it's in effect, it's a lock.

What I get for getting hyped lol. Still think it can come back to a fronto type setup shown on previous runs today. Never bought into the GFS phaser idea, which quickly went away at 12z. EPS is usually a good gauge on things, so we'll see if things can revert back to 12z look or trend down again from 18z.

It had backed off from 12z run a bit. The mean was still respectable for 24 hour totals of 1-2+" at 10:1, implying a mean of 0.1 to 0.2" LE. Would expect if things pan out that ratios would be above to well above climo again.

I just find it annoying we keep chasing a day 7 storm, now it looks like the models want to blow up the thing a week from now. We have been chasing that storm for over a week now.

Literally just was thinking this. It keeps getting pushed out, then fizzles out, then reappears in long range. Can we please just pull the rabbit out of the hat now?!

interesting not seeing much discussion regarding GFS in theses more under the hood AFD's:

QC: THERE IS NOT MUCH OF A BREAK BEFORE THE NEXT CHANCE OF SNOW ON   
FRIDAY INTO SATURDAY MORNING. MODELS ARE SHOWING A PROLONGED PERIOD   
OF SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT, ISENTROPIC LIFT, AND DIVERGENCE IN THE   
RIGHT ENTRANCE REGION OF AN UPPER JET. DESPITE THE WARM AIR   
ADVECTION ALOFT, WE'LL STAY VERY COLD AT THE SURFACE WITH COLD AIR   
ADVECTION HOLDING HIGHS IN THE SINGLE DIGITS AND TEENS. MODEL   
CONSENSUS DEVELOPS A BAND OF LIGHT SNOW FRIDAY MORNING ACROSS THE   
NORTHWEST HALF OF THE CWA WITH A GRADUAL INCREASE IN SNOW COVERAGE   
TO THE SOUTH AND EAST INTO FRIDAY NIGHT.  

LOT:THERE IS SOME MODEL SUPPORT FOR A SUBTLE   
MINOR AMPLITUDE SHORT WAVE TO TRACK ALONG THE NEARLY STATIONARY   
LOWER TO MID LEVEL BAROCLINIC ZONE FRIDAY AFTERNOON, BENEATH A   
REGION OF DIVERGENCE ALOFT IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE REAR ENTRANCE   
REGION OF THE 130 KT UPPER JET STREAK OVER SOUTHERN ONTARIO. WHILE  
A COUPLE OF MODEL SOLUTIONS SQUEEZE OUT A LITTLE LIGHT QPF ACROSS  
FAR NORTHERN/NORTHWESTERN IL BY 00Z, BETTER CHANCES FOR A PERIOD   
OF ACCUMULATING SNOW APPEAR TO COME FRIDAY NIGHT INTO SATURDAY AS   
A MORE AMPLIFIED WAVE TRANSITS THE WESTERLIES SOUTH OF A CLOSED   
LOW OVER MANITOBA. MODELS VARY WITH TIMING OF THE MAIN SHORT WAVE   
AXIS DURING THIS PERIOD, THOUGH A GENERAL CONSENSUS TAKES IT   
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA LATE SATURDAY, WITH SNOW CHANCES   
DIMINISHING BEYOND SATURDAY EVENING. VARIOUS OPERATIONAL MODEL   
RUNS VARY CONSIDERABLY WITH QPF AMOUNTS AND PLACEMENT OF THE QPF   
AXIS, DIFFERENCES ALSO NOTED IN THEIR RESPECTIVE ENSEMBLE MEANS.   
ENSEMBLE MEAN QPF VALUES IN THE 0.10-0.20" RANGE HOWEVER DO   
SUGGEST THE POTENTIAL FOR A COUPLE TO SEVERAL INCHES OF SNOWFALL.

MKX: Lame. Maybe the worst midwest discussions out there these days.

They've gotten bad since Rusty Kapela retired.

Sorry for the little off topic. And not trying to be a smart azz or randomly be negative on someone's performance. But in truth, mostly less than one  paragraph descriptions or analysis even in short range situations. I scan these pretty much daily, and have been surprised at the fact you can glean nothing new or in depth from their discussions.
