12z GFS wraps it up with yet more snow on the 14th. Looks like a fun period, so don't worry if this storm doesn't pan out for some of us, or is mostly ice vs snow, there will be more chances in the near future.
This is bonkers though:
These poor forecasters. Exact track and a couple degrees is going to be the difference between a crippling ice storm and rain for some areas, and models aren't all agreeing.
2" of sympathy snowfall around these parts with that little swirl that breaks out Fri night.
Looking at all this energy flying around on the models though, nice to see it at continuing to at least be active. I remember a few years back, it was pretty barren.
Well the 18z ICON was back farther east and at least a bit cooler at the surface. Looks like someone is going to get a ton of ice in KS into MO if it's right.
Well, that was a warmer run and farther west as well on the Euro. Suspect it may have to do with the strength of the upstream "kicker" system digging into the SW and how it influences how wrapped up the main storm system gets. Variety of model solutions still on the table it looks like.
12z Canadian is east of last nights run. Gonna have to see if the Euro shifts a bit east as well. I like looking at the Canadian as a preview to the Euro since I think they use the same initialization scheme?
