There's so many pieces in a 180 hour time frame. So much can go right and wrong. Enjoy the ride.

Yeah and honestly it didn't look like much went right between those 3 this run and still ended up solid.

Now that beast coming out of the gulf further in the run...🤩

I'll take a cutter west of here at this point since the midweek system is trending drier rain wise here. GEFS would still be a good snow hit here for the most part though so I'm hoping for that. 

 

Edit: Worst case scenario is definitely the 12z EC here. Miss most of the rain from the first storm and then we're too far north with 2nd storm. One of the reasons why I don't mind the midweek storm to keep trending north. I'd rather the 2nd storm be north of me since the south side would be a potential drought quencher.

The pattern change coming around this time plus all the different pieces of energy is going to make for some major shifts in track and timing of these lows. There’s going to be no point clinging on to any model run until it’s within a couple days. It’s going to be fun tracking though.

Is 1 decent snowstorm in the month of January too much to ask? 🤷‍♂️

 

Absolutely it is😶
Sure like the fact there’s so many pieces of energy out there, but with this pattern Idk if something decent will come together by the end of the month. Still have to hold out hope. Law of averages and what not.

0z Euro goes pretty hard here on Saturday while GFS gives us nothing but some wind. GFS is what we've been getting this winter while Euro is what we've been occasionally teased with... so I'm fighting off the recency bias trying to dominate my mind.

I did my first long-term AFD this morning. It was pretty fun. I didn't notice GFS is starting to trend toward a more closed off low over New Mexico since yesterday's 12z until this mornings 6z run. 

.LONG TERM ...
(Thursday through Monday)
Issued at 240 AM CST Tue Jan 17 2023

The weather on Thursday will be seasonable and relatively quiet,
though the same can`t be said about the rest of the period.

The beginning of a potentially active weather pattern starts when
a jet streak associated with a developing trough digs down the
West Coast on Thursday. Guidance agrees on a trough over the Four
Corner states on Friday, and a modest southerly low-level jet
develops over the Panhandles. This will push temps to slightly
above average.

There`s currently disagreement among guidance regarding how the
trough behaves this weekend. One current possibility keeps the
trough positively tilted before rapidly pushing northeast. Another
possibility is that the trough closes off and slowly pushes east.
The former solution would keep the Panhandles dry and a little
breezy, while the latter could bring some precip on Saturday.
Wouldn`t rule out snow if the timing of the airmass and forcing
pairs well together. However, there is currently a lot of
uncertainty with this forecast. This system won`t be fully sampled
until Thursday morning, so don`t anticipate guidance converging
on a solution until then.

It appears there will be another system that develops and impacts
the Panhandles early next week. However, potential impacts are
too uncertain to mention right now.
