12z EURO still a good hit with a potent storm...looks like it has shifted the mass fields a bit further S closer to the typical GYB positions for heavy snowfall in STL. Still looks like ZR or PL is possible with the 2*F h85 isotherm lifting in the Metro area before shifting back south on the backside.
Starting to see some tighter clustering beginning with operational and ensemble forecasts.

I agree brtn , the icon , gfs , Euro and GEFS are all very similar in there tracks . We’ll see what the eps shows soon.

all of the sudden in 10 hours its going to be Tuesday, looking at a potential late Friday storm. This is about the time last week when you guys started getting more and more confident in your thoughts for this past weekend's storm.

Have to agree with others who don't expect this snow cover to completely melt by this weekend...the density and water content and potential for cloudiness will make it a slow process. We might loose a lot...but I still expect some to be around by Friday.

I wish it was more of a Thursday/Friday scenario. Id like to burn up a full snow day, especially Friday!

Id like to burn up a full snow day, especially Friday! its definitely going to be very bizarre if we get a big Friday/early Saturday wallop, then have school off anyway until Tuesday morning, and have back-to-back major winter storms in 2 weeks with zero full days off of school. |

This is about the time last week when you guys started getting more and more confident in your thoughts for this past weekend's storm. I typically use the 96hr mark as a breaking point for potential vs. likely occurence...if models are still in step by tomorrow evening that will be telling, IMO. |

It definitely looks like good potential for another possibly significant to major storm coming out a few days after this next one. And there's lots of cold air sloshing around to go with it.

I don't see as much melting as compacting going on today.. There really isn't much water rolling down the street or the sidewalk. It would have to get really warm for a couple of days...and windy...and rain...to knock out all of this. It also will be slower because of the widespread coverage and density of the snow.

EPS has the best snow probs across the Mo-Ia border and on into northern Illinois
Mean snowfall in the metro in ~3" with the max of about 7" in the area I just highlighted
Mean QPF in rather high with 1" in the western counties and up to 1.5" in the eastern counties

Just had my checker at the grocery store tell me that a police officer told her we were getting 20” of snow this weekend. 🙄 I told her that she should just continue to pay attention. I swear, misinformation is almost as bad as no information.

If no snow comes, no ice should either! Send it all north then! We can deal with cold. We had our storm! We'll wait on the next one in line!

The real question is: Just how cold is it going to be for that Chiefs-Pats game at Arrowhead, Sunday Night? Might be brutal!

What are the chances the cold air gets in here sooner and Friday isn't as warm (upper 30s) as its showing now?

Euro has wind chills at a toasty -15F for the start of the game
By the end of the game windchills are down near -30F
Actual temps should be below zero the whole game
