Ed had a disclaimer on his map tonight basically saying the storm is too far out to predict.

Nope, I'm all ready planning my snow day.

Stock up on bread and milk!! Get to the store now!! Sometimes I think that supermarkets pay off meteorologists just to get people to stock up on perishable items.

This forecast from the NWS should clear up any confusion:

"THE PATTERN IS CHARACTERIZED BY TRANSITION...WITH THE LONGWAVE
FLOW DEAMPLIFYING BY DAY 3/FRI...REMAINING PROGRESSIVE NEXT
WEEKEND...THEN REAMPLIFYING WITH SPLIT-FLOW BY DAY 6/MON. THE FLIP
FLOP FROM AMPLIFIED TO PROGRESSIVE TO AMPLIFIED ALONG WITH THE
GREATER CHALLENGES ACCOMPANYING SPLIT-FLOW ON TOP OF THE PATTERN
TRANSITIONS SUPPORTS AVERAGE PREDICTABILITY AND CONFIDENCE TO
ABOUT THIS WEEKEND...THEN BELOW AVERAGE THEREAFTER."

That sounds like a caucus debate answer.

This next model shifts it north.

Ed can't predict tomorrow's forecast right, let alone one that's a week out

Curious how well the various models predicated last week's east coast storm this far out.

According to the news this morning they are talking about 12" of snow on Tue-Wed in Omaha

Cyclogenesis? One of the few things I miss about being a CR member was getting his weather reports.

Every time I see this updated, it keeps moving the heaviest totals north, out of central Iowa. Please be the case!

 

[scottie33]

Different models show different axis of snow...GFS seems to be consistent North and West of Des Moines but CMC shows snow through Central Iowa and JMA shows heaviest precip through Central Iowa.

Does anyone have a snow map from the Euro?

If I don't panic now, I might not get the chance to panic, so I'm freaking out.

Whats everyone in KC (or other weather gurus) opinions on Gary Lezak in KC? He has been saying for days (and still saying today) that he is pretty confident this will have a direct hit on KC based off past trends in the weather pattern. While everyone and everything is forecasting a track right through Iowa, he is saying right through KC. Is this guy just sensationalizing, or is he on average for a meteorologist??

 

[scottie33]

Saw this on one of the forums I visit...shows all of the different low tracks from various models and there is a very tight cluster around St. Louis which is good for Des Moines snow lovers, I think.

Any mets out there confirm?
