GEM is still holding to that further SE solution. Have to give it credit for consistency

Most models have a little disturbance moving through Saturday morning maybe one of those 1” or less little storms. Most likely a heavy dusting, but that could end up being our biggest accumulation from this storm.

That would be so awesome to see this second storm come out further south east and weaker . It’s always rough when you have snow and ice in the same state and you can see the advisory’s and the precipitation on the radar

Most likely a heavy dusting, but that could end up being our biggest accumulation from this storm. That's the trailing energy that will be diving into the backside of our big low later this week. That energy is still way out over the central pacific currently |

The 12z ICON isn't as bullish. |

Snowman99...check your point forecast on NOAA now haha. Rain now for the most part, but that less than 0.10" of ice you mentioned for Thursday night. You already mentioned it. They just have rain for the immediate metro Thursday night.

Ukie looks decent with the trailing energy Saturday. Drops a few inches of snow across the north and west counties in a small swath  |

Seems to be a trend to weaken the low later this week pretty quickly after it bombs out in the southern plains. Not sure that really matters to our sensible weather though

Amazing how this forum goes from kaboom to crickets within a couple model runs, lol.

The 12z GEM also has a band of accumulating snow developing across the region Saturday...mildly interesting, I suppose.
Still can't help but think it's more easterly track of the secondary storm system may end up being correct. It's definitely led the pack with the trends for this headache of a storm...along with the ICON I guess, which I never look at.

That 5 minute sleet shower was wild For a while I was afraid I might get snowed in at work...I saw AT LEAST 10 flakes earlier. |

One thing I did notice today pretty much every model weakened the storm by 3-6 mb from yesterday’s 12z run . Not much of a shift in the track but if it continues to weaken a little over the next 1-3 days it might help with a more north east trajectory rather than an almost due north one . The only model sub 1000 is the GFS and it weakened 3-4 mb. Everything else is 1000-1005 we want a weaker storm and a quicker ejection. I agree with Brtn, the gem has been very consistent from day one. I thought for sure it would have caved by now.

RGEM is a crippling ice storm northwest of the metro. Getting closer each run though.

You are talking potential ice on NYE night though. Which I am sure there will be plenty of gatherings around the area.
