Things are about to get slightly more active for the Midwest. Tomorrow will bring a general 1-3" for most of Minnesota and NW Wisconsin, with a wintry mix points south. Thursday will likely spread another 1-4" in the same areas, but may include all of Wisconsin and Michigan this time around. After these two Alberta Clippers a stronger system is looking more promising for next Sunday into Monday. Because this winter has been quite a tease and the NAO is staying positive confidence is not all that high. But models are showing a winter storm caliber system.

Yawn..

Scattered showers and a cloudy garbage week..so thrilled

That D6 system has me mildly interested because, depending on wound up the ~D4 system is, there may be enough confluence to induce CAD, the corollary being a front end thump of either snow or ice. Of course, a weaker D4 system and the D6 system likely cuts easily. But there's at least the potential. EURO has been showing a really pronounced CAD signature with this storm.

That wraparound look on the 00z GFS, am I the only one who sees shades of late Feb 2010?

[Geos]

This time period has looked quite interesting since 240 hours out on the GFS. With the cold leaving/left Europe. There is only one area of the northern Hemisphere that winter really has paid a long visit too!

I don't fully disagree but I'm getting a little tired of you guys trying to run the forum...

This. There are much better ways to talk to someone about placement of posts than just calling them out like this constantly. PMs are wonderful things

I am sure being close to March we will get that big snowstorm. We always get at least one big storm in March and sometimes one in April. The only time we didn't was last year and the year before. With the big lake wide open any storm is going to get enhanced.

6z has already followed seasonal trends and is well south and weaker. When will they learn.

To my extremely untrained eye that whole run seemed to follow seasonal trends, but I guess it is just the 6z and one run at that.

euro says upper midwest and northern plains are the places to be over the next 10 days.

More to the world than just snow, personally the Euro could have a lot of changeable weather for the region and probably thunderstorms/severe weather too.

[Geos]

This is something to watch this week!
IN into MI.


FYI and the next system, the 12z brought it back north.

If this has the same SW trend the last storm had Arkansas will be the place to be.

So, should this be a thread for the storm on the 24th or what?

Yeah, but not the storm for late in the weekend/early next week. It's going to get too cluttered.

This one should be for the 24th storm. Mixing two systems in one thread will get confusing quick!

I was referring to winter wx. But yea, you're right...weather will exist elsewhere as well. My bad

I agree. Euro looks similar. Probably not a big deal snow wise but it will be nice to actually see a decent low if it pans out.

[Geos]

Is this a clipper coming across the lower lakes or a simple over-running event?
