Ugh ice maps should be banned because they never verify even half of what is shown.
Could this lead to a more suppressed wave?The trough over SE Canada & the Lakes has progressively been digging deeper/shifting southward in the longer term.

Thanks Man, maybe the CMC was on to something.Yes it's definitely a favorable trend for suppression & keeping around this cooler air mass much longer, both of which are more conducive for wintry weather around the day 9-11 time frame, but not necessarily the case w/ the first disturbance around day 6-7. This latter system actually materializing at all largely hinges on when the southern stream s/w over the SW US finally crawls out from underneath the western US ridge.
Given the large-scale pattern in place, cold air damming or an overrunning type setup would be the favored storm type (if any) for the 2nd system (again barring that it actually occurs in the first place).

Which one? 2018 or 2017? You kinda have to specify since they were both so recent and both were not too far off. My guess is you're saying 2018.December 8-9 look much
True... but last winter ... our only snow we go to amount anything came mid November 2 half inches ... then rest winter went poof... don’t want repeat...Well, I see the GFS did a complete 180 last night. We had the Euro showing a winter storm first, only for it to look a little worse, and then the GFS comes along and goes bonkers after it looked worse than the Euro yesterday. A lot of back and forth and we're still 7 days out. But it is crazy even having a potential winter storm to track in November. Hope this is a good sign of things to come.
Eh kinda, more like just classic overrunning, perfect setup for the western SE/upper SE, bad setup for SC/NCLooking like cold chasing moisture if i've ever seen it
Looks like Mid-South/Memphis area is still in play but looks like it's trending Northwest?Trending toward EURO! View attachment 25514
At the end of the day, its November. Its not supposed to snow yet, so I see no reason to be disappointedSome nice rains over the SE over the next week plus we get a couple of shots of cold. What's not to like...

Yeah, we tend to see lots of back and forth in the 192+ hour time frame each year. Hard to get a reliable trend for an unreliable forecasting time frame. The only trend I'd say that has merit is the trend that widespread SE winter storms that show up at those leads usually end up not happening. Especially since it's mid-November, I wouldn't bet against that trend. Still worth watching though.So, the GFS didn't have anything yesterday, while the Euro did, and then the Euro didn't have anything today, while the GFS did, and now the GFS is showing less.
Not sure all this back and forth and the models switching places is a real trend. Kind of all over the place the last two days.
Looks like it does something similar to what the euro was showing a couple days ago
I do think it will lead to more of a suppressed wave due to the expected strong arctic high that will come down from Canada. There's absolutely no reason why the wave will trend further and further north and west.Could this lead to a more suppressed wave?
Except that at these leads, these massive arctic highs are usually overmodeled and press the flow too far south. We will see whether or not these low 1050s/upper 1040s highs trend weaker and farther north/northwest as we close in.I do think it will lead to more of a suppressed wave due to the expected strong arctic high that will coming down from Canada.

True, the pressures are normally over-modeled, but there has been consistency of a very strong surface high coming down. Plus the time period is closing in, which means, that strong high has a chance at verifying.Except that at these leads, these massive arctic highs are usually overmodeled and press the flow too far south.
