Looks like an angry Pacific and some soakers in our future

From LOT AFD:

Also have to point out a growing signal for a southwest-flow
synoptic scale cyclone somewhere east of the Rocky Mountains in
the February 11-14 timeframe, with both the GEFS/EPS already
favoring our area being on the warm side. Should a cyclone
actually develop and we end up on the warm side, could easily
envision forecast focus trending toward hydrology concerns
considering the frost depth of just deeper than 13 inches at our
office isn`t going to vanish anytime soon.

Sun angle concerns right around the corner as well! Have about a 3 week window here to cash in on a big-dog and then it’s on to spring.

Definitely highly skeptical of the current projections beyond the 7 day period with a supposed PV stretch (some are calling it a SSW event, but that's such an overused term and not really accurate) happening...
