0z GEFS FINALLY upping the ante for the Heartland in the Week 2 period....remember how DRY it was just a couple days ago??? Opening 7 days of JAN... With the cold pressing....snow chances on the rise...

That was my expectations the other day as the Operational Models started to digest the data better. It's rally time!

FWIW, GEFS doesn't look great here. EPS is slightly better, but not any better with the NYE system specifically. Basically the only model that has me getting respectable totals out of this is op GFS.

Models definitely have a NYE storm. Who actually gets the storm is a different story. Some models have it up here, other models have it in Missouri. This is my last chance for a CO low probably until February, so I definitely hope it hits me. We've had brown, cold Januarys before (actually more often than not recently) and they're worthless.
