To comment on the actual dynamics of next week I haven't really checked the models much as I was outside for 11 hours yesterday but looks like lots of NS vorticity flying around so models wont have a great handle on events. Either way we have the cold in place and a good upper air pattern so all we need is to get lucky. Additionally, if we get that bowling ball over us our lapse rates would be insane enough to help out any system that does form (12z GFS for example).
