Late Week Storm

Might we finally have a "juicy" winter storm on Friday? All winter long, we have failed to see the phasing of Gulf of Mexico moisture with the polar jet to form an ocean storm along the East coast. The reliable Euro model shows that trend might be coming to an end this week.

The above images show Thursday night and Friday morning respectively. Notice that the cold front in the first image links up with Gulf moisture to form a strong ocean storm by Friday.

Of course, this far out there is naturally some model discrepancy. The American GFS model does not show the two pieces linking up, giving us a much smaller snowfall event instead.

This one will be interesting to watch unfold this week!
