The fact that it closes off in OK/KS doesn't equate to much when it opens up and shears out by the time it gets here. But that's not necessarily a bad thing as a less amplified system will have weaker WAA. We really need the upper system to dig further S before ejecting E/NE so the wave digging towards the lakes in the N branch gets out ahead and builds the ridge over the top vs. behind it. Still a formidable winter storm for parts of the region on the GFS... If it didn't close off before and now it is closing off for a period of time, I would think it might have a chance to remain closed longer? Also, normally you would want the high pressure sitting over the great lakes, not as far west as modeled now. I would think it has a little room to pull north because of the position of the high pressure? Seasonal trend certainly argues for a closed low vs. open but I can see how it gets sheared with the trof axis getting strung out. But yes, if there's not a decent extension of the ridge across the lakes, the storm will pull further north easier. But with the arctic airmass pressing down on the storm it can only lift so far. |

Yea I wouldn't put much stock in that Gfs solution. It'll catch on to reality eventually, whatever that is. Icon has done well and looks great. Good to see our neighbor to the north look better too. LOL, Not trying to bust your balls but that's some serious cherry picking If I'm being completely honest with you and myself I realized that as I was typing it but went ahead and posted anyway lol. Been a long day. |

Chris, I read your Facebook post until the end and “There is no reason to get all wrapped around the axle 5 days out...” is the best phrase I’ve heard in awhile. Even if you are trying to reach deeper into a wheel well? |

LOL, Not trying to bust your balls but that's some serious cherry picking Maybe a little but the GFS was most definitely the last model to ever so slowly catch up to the rest. I didn’t trust it with the last storm and I’m not trusting it now. |

FV3 has a backside warning level snowfall for the entire area
I did great with the last system and has had a pretty stable solution the last several runs

That looks like a legit backside blizzard on the FV3 to
30mb pressure gradient across Mo with heavy snow falling

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't WSC call this weekend's storm last weekend based on ICON data?

Euro is a much stronger wrapped up system it looks like Very much so. It gets a nice wrapped up low going. It does eventually get sheared but not until east of here |

The wind at hour 120 is crazy, like a 34 mb difference across the state.

So the only model not showing a rather impactful/major winter system is the GFS
That sounds familiar

Euro has temps staying in the single numbers on Sunday..well below 0 Sunday night. Would be likely if we get the snow it shows,. Going to be a frigid game in KC. Yikes.

GFS drops a foot of snow 50 miles north of downtown which would be pretty impactful for the northern counties

Euro mean is about 4 over the metro..up an inch or 2 from 12 z, and has expanded south as well.

I would have gone colder...but I want to be more certain on fresh snowcover.
I did float the "near blizzard" wording at times in the 4am...for Saturday...

Still thinking 1-3, 2-4, or maybe more Saturday Chris? Leaning toward medium impact...or high? Just wondering what your thoughts are as of this morning.
