I'm as frustrated as anyone because this looked like it was pretty much a done deal. This has been the story of the winter though, right? Maybe we'll be surprised. This is exactly why forecasts are so difficult. Nature doesn't look at a computer and say, well that is what the computer says I should do so I'm going to do it. It's been really tough to get too excited about any system so far because the trend has been for them to come in much weaker than expected and take a dive around the area.

What initially looked like it could be a nice swath of snow sliding down the I-94 corridor could very well be making a pretty large shift to the south. Short term models are now painting the far southern row of counties in Minnesota with seeing the higher amounts of snow. Bust potential for tonight is there in the metro. This winter has been a bear with the models I feel like. Usually, most of the time, when models agree, things mostly pan out. Oh well...still a while before things start moving in, so we'll keep on watching to see how this clipper develops. Future runs could start to develop things further north again.Duanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787345530045701289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-2994398422728926162014-01-13T16:32:25.256-06:002014-01-13T16:32:25.256-06:00"The forecast for snow tonight is a low confi..."The forecast for snow tonight is a low confidence forecast.

It looks like a good swath of 3-5 inches of snow should make its way down I-94 through the metro and into Wisconsin. Winds pick up after the snow starts to taper so that may be an issue if the snow is light enough.<br /><br />Thursday's windy system still appears on track. At the very very least, a Winter Weather Advisory will be needed for that system due to the blowing snow issue. I think it will end up being Blizzard watches and warnings, but that all depends on how much of the snow will be able to be picked up and blown around. Two decent systems for the week. They won't be big back breaking storms in regards to snow, but they still could pack a bit of a punch.Duanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10787345530045701289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3483614767822693875.post-91980491595657213792014-01-12T17:09:15.328-06:002014-01-12T17:09:15.328-06:00NWS discussion calling for 2-4 inches for tommorro...NWS discussion calling for 2-4 inches for tommorrow night now.

For those looking for the next storm, for now great snow potential looks pretty bleak. A few minor (at the moment) systems out there but no whoppers in the near term. <br /><br />What does catch my eye is the next arctic push next Thursday. The wind potential with that thing looks very impressive at the moment but it's far enough out that plenty will probably change with it. Looking at the soundings on this thing, it looks like there will be some pretty strong winds not too far off the ground, and good potential for mixing those winds down to the surface. Like I said, still plenty far out there but if we do get some accumulating snows over the next week and it mostly stays below freezing after Sunday, the wind prone areas of Minnesota will have to keep an eye on visibility issues. Again, long ways out but I figured I would bring it up now. Good news...next arctic shot doesn't look nearly as bad as our last one, and it doesn't look to last nearly as long either.

Also, in November the forecast was for a rather mild start to winter and a turn to much colder and stormier weather the second half of winter. Complete turnaround now? It just goes to show that there are a lot of variables in trying to predict the weather. As usual, time will always give us the final answer. I hope the GFS is wrong.
