The GFS has been pretty consistent trying to spin up something big in the Jan 9th-10th time frame.

Another heavy dusting here this morning. It's definitely not as much as yesterday morning but still pretty nonetheless. I'm considering myself lucky to have had accumulation both nights. I believe that's just it though because most of our precip fell at night and once again it changed to rain after dawn on the tail end of the precip.

GEM is picking up on that time frame as well...end of GFS 1050 moving out of Canada..Making January Great again!
Go MIZZOU!! Was lucky enough to be there at AT&T stadium last time against Oklahoma State, just couldn't get down there for today.Will be rooted hard from home! Enjoy the game everyone!

They did a great job ruling Florida out of the heavy snow risk 😂 No offense meant to them, but this is basically worthless when so broad both in geographic range and timing. |

"I know what you're thinking, is that the 5000th or 6000th model run I've looked at." Come to think of it, in all the excitement of the last 4 days of model surfing, I forgot myself, and my laptop battery is dead. Seein' that this is the most powerful weather bureau that money can buy, and they have us outlined for a "SLIGHT CHANCE" of "HEAVY SNOW" along with a mountain range that has a 5,000' elevation advantage to the east of us, and multiple mountain ranges that has 10,000-13,000' advantage in elevation with ALL but a very small portion having the same "SLIGHT CHANCE" of "HEAVY SNOW", you have to ask yourself one question, "Do you feel lucky?" ......................"Well, do you, PUNK? As I pick up my laptop and charger cord and run to the back room to charge it up to scan another model run.😁😁 After all I cannot look at a weather map that is drawn that looks like a figure of Quagmire tiptoeing Eastward while looking back Westward. Your D@^^^/ right I feel lucky.🤪🤪🤪🤪 |

Ugly game, but they should pull it out. Could be a transformational season for the program. |

why..we could use it, lol if we don't get rain before then, then yeah, maybe a couple inches, but not 4 inches. The gfs today of course has the stl split right up 44 and mostly rain, so book it. I think we could definitely use 1 or 2 inches of rain though. I'm not on the snow bandwagon - I suspect the biggest weather change will be the flip to cold, and not really the snow, as often is the case around here. |

As the 00z models roll in my opinion is January 5th/6th has potential for southern Missouri. Think a 2-5 inch type potential if it happens.
Then, models continue to be insistent that something big is coming around January 10th for the middle of the country.

That system towards the middle of next week bears some watching...it looks like there may be just enough cold air lurking for snow potential if that gains enough latitude. The GEM is also showing a snow producing storm towards next weekend that shows up in various flavors on other models.
That third storm in line around the 10th looks like a cutter to me with plenty of ridging ahead of it. We'd want to see some secondary development for snow potential...but that's still way out there. Mid-January is looking pretty chilly with deep troffing across much of the US.

Really quiet so guess nothing looking promising now The 12z cycle came in more suppressed with the first storm in line(mid-week) so not looking like much if anything in the near-future. Next weekend still has some potential maybe. |

Recent model runs, especially from the gfs, are extremely active the first half of January.
I still think next weekend has potential for a light to moderate event for the metro.
The big storm around the 10th is still on the table as well with models struggling on more northern or southern stream influence.
The final variable is if extreme cold will be released around mid January.
We might actually have something to talk about here soon.
But, we all know how this usually goes. Need to get the storms more in the 5-7 day range to start taking anything seriously.
Final observation is this must be an easier pattern for the models to decipher. Even with the change in patterns beginning to take place they have been very consistent in basic timing and potential for storms.

Really need the snowpack to build up north to give us a shot at decent snow. The cold air masses are being killed by the bare ground all the way into Minnesota/Canada.

0Z EPS has the 850mb low tracking just north of STL on Jan. 9th. 6Z GEFS has it tracking from KC to Davenport, but it did jump south from the 0Z run.

I just saw the 0Z ECMWF. That is a deep mid-latitude cyclone.

Jan 7th is looking better on the GFS. This is a going to be a complicated pattern because the cyclone on Jan. 7th is going to effect the evolution of the potential cyclone following it around Jan. 9th.

Ensemble for the 8th to 10th shows significant snow passing to the north of us, to the south of us, and right through us. Fingers crossed for the last option.
