This has Okie Land written all over it and then up thru MO into IN/S MI....it's questionable up this way as to how far north the moisture can wrap up into the defo zone.  I'm interested to see how the models begin to digest the northern piece in the coming days as that could possibly lengthen the duration of snow falling.  The 0z CMC is my best friend ATM and has been eerily consistent while the EURO & GFS have been going back n forth.  To my eyes, it looks like the 0z CMC holds the neg tilt formation a bitt longer than the other models as the storm tracks thru the S MW/OHV.  

By Noon CST, the energy is forecast to hit the PAC NW and enter upper air network so I would expect to see some better data.  Actually, once this digs into the 4 corners, we could still see some adjustments bc the models typically have a hard time handling these type of set ups.  I'm leaning towards better phasing in the coming days.

Seems odd to have such a suppressed storm track without artic air suppressing the pattern.  Theses areas in SE MO do get big snows but typically when they do it's because the pattern is suppressed.

Good hit for Oklahoma folks, Jaster and Niko.  No bueno for KC and Chicago.

Models seem to be in a phase (pun intended) where they are de-amplifying the wave. Prolly some data ingest that "lost" the phasing with the northern piece of energy. I agree with Tom's comment. That inter-action will likely come back into play and again pull this NW about 1/2 a state (imho) from what we're seeing attm. The overnight runs no doubt have OH Peeps geeking-out, but I'd not want to be riding the southern edge of the +SN swath. And as you've mentioned, without any arctic air pressing S, these trends make little sense. If anything, the WAA should be over-performing as this turns the corner and heads NNE. I'd expect a lot of places that think they're getting only snow to end up with a messy mix and perhaps even switching to plain rain. Days and days to go, but I like it S of here at this range. @Stacsh is the LES guy, so his comments on this synoptic system are not to be taken seriously, lol.

DTX overnight much more "into it"

The quiet weather comes to an end Wednesday as the next
winter storm targets the region. Unlike many of the recent systems
that have curled north over the Midwest keeping us on the warm side
of the storm, models have held firm with a more southern track with
the surface and mid level lows tracking from Texas (Wed 00Z) up to
Ohio (Thurs 00Z) with southern MI solidly on the northwestern flank
of the system. Many ingredients are becoming favorable for an
accumulating snowfall over the area. The surface low will be
maturing near the area, favorable mid level deformation noses into
the southern Great Lakes, entrance region dynamics from an exiting
jet and exit region dynamics from rapidly approaching jet,
deformation region passing over the area, and a wealth of moisture
to name a few.
Just how much snow will fall remains in question as
we are still 5 days out and a shift south would keep us more in a
light snow scenario, and north could push heaviest snow to the
north. For now we`ll highlight the potential for accumulating
snowfall Wednesday morning through the overnight.

The lack of a deep trough behind the closed low seems to allow it to eject more east instead of being pulled a bit NW seems to be the problem. There is some energy back there though, so it'll be interesting to see how that shakes out.

Good news for you is that both scenarios treat Oklahoma well.  Hope you guys get crushed down there.

Yesterdays 18z and 00z runs went more south, but seeing the GFS trend a bit north again. As others noted, I would rather be on the northern edge than the southern. I expect some of the heavier stuff shown to the south to trend a bit north in the home stretch.

The other issue, that I am not sure how it will play out, will be precipitation rates. This storm could still track in the right spot and be a cold rain if precip isn't heavy enough. I'd like to see the intensity trend back up, similar to yesterdays 12z runs on the EPS, etc.

Canadian and Euro show such a bigger overall swath of snow than what than what GFS is painting right now. I think someone else mentioned this as well, but the 12z GFS run did stop the movement south. The 3-4 previous runs from the GFS had a huge move south on every one of them. Curious if that is a sign of a movement back north from here?

I will never complain about 3 to 4 inches of snow and the GEFS took a baby step back to the north.  Like you said lets amp it up a little and maybe expand the coverage.

Snow has trended WAY down for Oklahoma in the latest runs. It seems to be related to a trailing shortwave trough. Read more about it on my twitter if you want, just don't want to type it all again lol

Looking at the 12z run of the NAM, this model shows the best outcome for a better phase of this system compared to most of the other models.  Better interaction of both waves is what will be needed to throw moisture/snow farther NW of the system. GFS seems to be the only stingy model in this regard but at the end, it may be correct. All the other models say different outcome.

Another look at the 23/12z GEM and how it "pulls" the cold into the storm. DTX mentions how an arctic CF will come into place early week and provide a fresh supply of the chill. Verbatim for this region it's hard to get much better track with the MSLP ending up right in the center of Lk Erie

.LONG TERM...(Sunday Night through Saturday)
Issued at 230 PM EST Sat Jan 21 2023

Eyeballs here will generally be interested in one thing only: A
possible winter storm. I continue to approach this system with a
great degree of caution. But, I do concede that model agreement is
pretty good at this time. Turning first to 00z 500-mb EOFs
(Empirical Orthogonal Functions), there is only a hit of
disagreement among the ensemble members with respect to the trough`s
intensity over the Southern Plains (ending 00z Thursday, as
evidenced by a monopole over west TX). Toggling through the past
couple GFS Ensemble and ECMWF Ensemble runs show that the GEFS has
gradually shifted the surface low to the southeast while aloft,
there has been very little deviation in its 500mb pattern. There is
variability noted in the ECMWF Ens. with respect to the depth of the
trough (consistent with the EOF plot) while there was little to
no change in the location of the surface low. The last four runs
of the in- house National Blend of Models has gradually moved the
snow axis southeast away from the Lake.

To make sense of the above: a winter storm likely moves through the
OH River Valley region. I cannot reliably say who is going to see
snow and how much. A shift in the upper-air pattern and low below
will certainly impact snow totals. A shift southeast could result
in little to no snow for half of the forecast area, while a shift
northwest could bring an area of heavy snow to much of the
forecast area. Just because the model agreement/consistency has
been favorable now donesn`t mean that will continue between now
and Wednesday afternoon (96 hours from now). With a subtle shift
to the southeast noted today in some guidance, this trend will
need to be monitored. The upper-level wave responsible for this
storm will arrive onshore in the Pacific Northwest within the next
12 hours.

Midweek system aside, temperatures will still be a touch mild for
late-January at the start of the week. It may be briefly colder
behind the midweek system with another shot of snow possible late
in the week.

The next storm system that is expected to impact the region is just
now coming onshore over the Pacific Northwest. This feature will dig
sharply SSE into the southwestern CONUS and/or far northern Mexico
and cutoff briefly before additional northern stream jet energy
drops through the Pacific Northwest/northern Rockies/Great Plains
and forces this system to eject east/northeastward and then eject
northeastward into the southern plains early next week. This system
will then pull northeast into the general vicinity by midweek as
additional shortwave energy digging into the northwest quadrant of
the CONUS leads to a general amplification of the western/central
CONUS upper trough.

Given the fact that this system cuts off and then is re-integrated
back into the main upper level flow, the overall confidence in the
precise positioning by next Wednesday (when it is currently expected
to be nearest the region) is relatively low. During this sequence, a
number of northern stream shortwaves, both leading and trailing this
southern system, traverse the northern tier of the country. The lack
of confidence in the eventual timing/strength of these features
leads to additional uncertainty as the evolution of the northern
stream will play a large role in the steering of this storm system.

This should be a rather impactful system overall as its southern
trajectory will allow for strong moisture transport back north into
the eastern CONUS from the Gulf region with widespread rainfall and
a band of decent snowfall along the north/northwest edge of its
track. Perusing the model data today, the main question for the
southern Great Lakes looks to be just how far north this area of
snowfall works into the area.

The main camp seems to suggest the most likely scenario will be for
a "glancing" blow as this system remains progressive and does not
allow for extensive moisture to lift/wrap north and northwest into
the area. This would more or less support moderate snow amounts
(say 2-5 inches) of at least parts of the area. Personally, it
appears to me too early to make any clear calls given the myriad of
concerns present that would impact the steering/evolution of this
main system as it progresses into the general vicinity. With better
sampling of the shortwave itself, and to a lesser degree northern
stream shortwaves that will impact the steering currents, perhaps a
slightly better feel for the system will develop by tomorrow.

This has been long overdue, should it all verify. A right and true "classic" in our era. 

Can say that again!

EAX AFD:

With the midweek system, the trend has been to take the system
further south. Models are now taking the low from the Red River
Valley Tuesday night northeastward along the I-44 corridor into
Illinois by Wednesday evening. This will put the local area on the
north side of the precipitation shield as the system slides south of
the area. Temperatures at this time look cold enough to support snow
Tuesday night into Wednesday morning however, precipitation should
be fairly light. As such, it does look like light snow accumulation
will be possible generally south of Highway 36 with heaviest amounts
across central Missouri. That being said this system is just coming
on shore in the Pacific Northwest and will be sampled better in the
next day giving us a better idea of track this system will take.
