Wintry 1/20 - 1/23 Winter Storm

Just a broad view of snowfall lighting up the frames here on the 18z GEFS Ens Mean

The one thing that makes me feel better here is the wave originates from a cold vortex near AK and is initially embedded in the flow around the cold vortex in Canada. This should allow for us to keep a cleaner and taller western ridge and a natural eastward biasing. Now if the models can keep that ridge I'm not sure. Id rather play with the euro ridge vs cmc gfs
 
GEFS mean went up considerably from 12z definitely a signal now. 0z models will be highly entertaining.

Showing 1-3 inches Friday night into Saturday already for my area 6 days out, maybe if i miss out on this round maybe the next will be better
 
Is this good? No, seriously I'm still learning. I'm not sure. Energy going tilt in that trough?
I'll let Grit or someone else more knowledgeable correct me if I'm wrong, but that inverted trough, a ripple in the trough, is a disturbance that could help develop our coastal along the arctic front. Tis good

Wouldnt that inverted trough cause moist easterly winds for our area?
Yeah, inverted trough is just an indication that the atmosphere west of the coastal front is responding to the upper wave that is dropping down from the NW....with some precip breaking out back inland. But the big takeaway is the 'off the coast' / suppressed look. Just their opinion at the moment
 
Would you guys say this next system has more protentional than this current system based on what information you have currently? I know its really far out but i guess if you compared both at 6 days out is what im asking

Absolutely .. all major global and ensemble members have latched onto something and they all have lots of cold air at play .. definitely agreement and especially at this distance away has to give some legitimacy to something happening then but specifics are far from final
