Don't know if anyone has looked closely, but modeling is back to looking warm the start of February. Honestly, I think it's inevitable. Weeklies went back to the warm look for every week in February after a step back from it yesterday. We'll see. Hopefully models are missing something...like weenie desires.
18z AI looks better with a little more qpf and colder 850 temps. Surface temps somewhere between 0-4C, but 850's are around -4C. So I wouldn't worry about it. Also comes in on Monday and not Tuesday.
2nd event is wetter but a little too warm for snow. Early on that one however.
Can someone who knows with certainty tell me the difference between the extended Eps and Eps weeklies, if there is a difference? Thank you.
@brooklynwx99 ?
234hrs Gfs is getting ready for an arctic dump into the Conus.

@Heisy
6z AI looks to be getting more interested on Monday/Tuesday next week. Still light precip with suppression of heavier stuff. But I think that's not far from a moderate event.
30/31st looks a little warm but may end as snow. This still has big upside potential imho if we get the temps to cooperate as the AI is showing a strong bowling ball vort moving east with redevelopment off the coast. Fingers crossed.
EDIT: Big cold dump from Canada at the end of the run.
They do, but we don't get into the meat of the precip. Actually, last night's Gfs runs, as opposed to the Euro, aren't really that different from what the AI is showing, which is a bit surprising to me.
0z AI showing several threats next week (early and late week) but main concern would be suppression due to cold push being stronger. Not worth discussing details.
18z Euro did pretty well along with the 18z model runs with that heavy stripe. Too bad the Euro comes out after it essentially ends. Lol
P.s. this was a post 1pm forecast
