This is an excellent setup for wave 2

It's a relatively weak low but that's part of why there's limited WWA into this. So it's preferred for this setup IMO.

Got a kicker on its tail, too. (wave #2). This looks to be setting up a serious overrunning event looking at the mid level maps.
It would be pretty hilarious if after all the bickering @Webberweather53 and I have done about the two periods of interest if it snowed in both....
 
So is it time to check the date on the hot dogs in the fridge in case I have to grill them?? Things are looking mighty good.. either that or it’s all a mirage since we are so snow starved? Big money, big money.. no whammies!!!
 
To echo what’s been said repeatedly after 3 different Operational runs so far … none of these models have a clue. They’re throwing darts and seeing what sticks. I mean the GFS dropped the TPV out of northern Canada down to the US border in one run.
 
Why can’t the models just agree. CMC is such a buzzkill. I mean it’s a full cutter this runView attachment 157937View attachment 157935
cmc has been very jumpy and i don't think it has a grip on this thing
I wish it didn’t just die after this but the vort max becomes a little too stacked causing it to die. Gives us some light snow though, can’t complain.
one issue with this 1/6 shortwave is the route it's taking... not a lot of sources of natural baroclinicity. doesn't help that is forced due east the entire way. it becomes a qpf bomb in the mid south with some help from cyclogenisis off the rockies but beyond that there's not a solid lp to sustain it. muted results in carolinas/va makes sense
It'll f up the phasing to keep it more suppressed i'm sure but this is the ticket for a big one.
if that energy doesn't pinch in to baja and marches to the gulf and the timing on that tpv is better then the ceiling may actually be something march 1993ish. that might be the comp. it's that loaded
