The afternoon AFD at IND says we're done. Not unexpected given the models the past few days and the trend of this winter in general.

LATER IN THE WEEK...LOW LEVEL TEMP/THICKNESSES HAVE BEEN TRENDING
WARMER...AND NOW APPEARS THAT ANY PRECIP FALLING FROM THIS SYSTEM
WILL BE ALMOST ENTIRELY RAIN.

Anyone know what the 12z GFS ensembles look like?

After reading APX's AFD, 18Z runs depict a major screw-over for therm.

The 18z is irrevelant. Disorganized and sloppy. Never trust a model until it gets inside 48hrs.

Quad Cities nws thinks this system could end up even farther south than today's model runs. If so, this will be a complete miss for CR through Wisconsin.

Yeah, I'm just about ready to expect a dry forecast for Wednesday night and Thursday; maybe a few flurries, if low level temps cooperate.

Of course, this is hopefully wrong, and perhaps just a knee-jerk reaction to the usually erratic 18z runs.
Yeah, this isn't a phasing situation. Yesterday's 18z was weak as well.

that has been the trend all winter and not only will it trend south, cold sector precip will fade as well

Not sure we ever really had a chance since this came into "reliable" model range. Only question is how cold the rain will be and how much.

Still looks like mainly a rain event for the QCA. May get a little snow at the tail-end, but not expecting much from this system. Pretty typical for this season. The more significant storm systems have had a tendency to be rain makers in this area.
Still agree with this from yesterday. As many others have already mentioned boundary layer temps are just too warm through much of the deformation zone.

He is kinda liking the snow threat with this and talking up the GEM.
He is a bit of a snow weenie (in a good way, giving it its due attention) at heart from my limited knowledge. That being said, perhaps he has a point, although the GEM hasn't exactly been snow friendly through most of its runs for this storm anyway.

Maybe Tom Skilling will be right! At this point we need to hope for some dynamic cooling.

I'm hoping for Wisconsin to steal this one, could happen at this range.

I certainly wouldn't write off the upcoming system Wed-Thu. That is one of those systems that can throw some surprises. If some of the model depictions of qpf are correct and we get a surprise bit of cooling in the boundary layer and a good track at 500/850mb on the system it can certainly snow like crazy somewhere. I think this system does, in deed, have a few surprises up its sleeve. I am not gonna give up on this one. We gotta get one of these to pull through.

0z GFS sped the timing up enough to start the precip as snow Wed. night for YYZ.

Yeah, the lack of phasing is killing this one for Wisconsin and Iowa. A decent warm front and weak cold front behind it. A nice representation of this winter.

EGH.....EW.....UGH....This system is starting to look like S$%T.....Moral of this winter..NEXT...

Its really a shame the Arctic air this Winter doesn't hang around more than 24-36hrs, this system had potential. But as I said, I'm not fully writing it off until tomorrow when I see all the newest data. I know that holding out some hope usually doesn't work out in the end, as the writing is on the wall pretty much- but you never know.
