EPS isn’t bad looking at this range IMO The worst place to be at this range is in the bullseye There’s several members that crush the area  |

Yeah, there are few interesting members in there for sure. I see two pressure record members in there as well including a 960mb low right over St. Louis.
It doesn't show a cohesive 850mb low yet, but you can tell it is trying to close one off at hours 150 and 156 pretty close to our benchmark.

It might just be the NAM NAMing, but it shows a pretty legit severe threat here Sunday night with some low topped supercells  |

I did notice the NAM was showing around 300-500j/kg SBCAPE early Monday morning. Seems like a better setup for a forced squall line vs. discrete supercells, but I could see some QLCS tornado potential again with that.

12z GEFS mean staying the course with a sub-1000mb SLP track right through the benchmark next week and a bit colder profile.

Ensembles sure are starting to look pretty good as we head into March...this screams cold with overrunning potential into the first full week of the month.  |

The 18z gfs is very close to a blizzard for the metro.
It absolutely crushes the Ohio Valley.

Interesting snippet from !AccuNotWx! who's claiming it's the "earliest spring in 40 years" in parts of the US...they must have forgotten about 2012 and they go on to say that 2017 was significantly warmer in Austin, lol.

Some incredible blizzards showing up on the 18z gfs ensembles.
Damn.

i have never seen as many model depicted blizzards for here as I have this season. And we have 5 inches to show for it lol.

WC is the storm more for the Ohio valley or to for south for us On this one particular model run the Ohio Valley is favored, but several ensembles bury Saint Louis. The other models are more suppressed, so no reason to get excited at this time. Just something to watch at this juncture. The top end potential of this setup is incredible though. |

If that stupid Christmas Eve Eve blizzard would have materialized we would all be feeling pretty good. This is probably the 3rd non-fantasy range storm modeled with blizzard potential. That seems unusually high. Eventually, one will hit. |

We used to get excited about the clown maps depicting 20” of snow over a 3 week period. This year it has been a literal modeled blizzard 5 days out that ends up being a half ! BACKSIDE ! cold drizzle. I will say this though, at least when the blizzards fizzle, they fizzle for everyone. We don’t have to watch somewhere 150 miles away get pounded. |

Unfortunately there’s not a single model showing a blizzard for St. Louis, you have the GFS , somewhat of a very borderline situation all by itself. Every other model is well south of here by “hundreds “ of miles. Yes they could all start to come north, but the GFS could just as easily cave and go south 300 miles in one run and then the whole state is bone dry like the Euro/Gem/Ukmet/Icon all show

Those ensembles span the Gfs and the Euro. They are in the minority, but still interesting and really the only thing to discuss outside of the SSW. |

Sub 980mb low moving through Tennessee on the 00z gfs.
Southeastern Missouri gets hit.
Very close to a blizzard for the metro on that run.
Verbatim, a historic blizzard for Ohio. Extremely impressive dynamics.

On the flip side, the 00z Icon and ggem are suppressed garbage.

Yep… definitely a battle going on, the only reason I’m slightly interested is that both the Euro and Gem both had multiple days/runs with a much stronger further north west solution only to crash it south. You could easily see them trend Northwest with time or the GFS trend southeast as well. Who knows when you’re 6-7 days out . Pattern definitely looks better from 3/10 - 3/25 maybe a two week period of colder weather and continued active pattern

The signals are starting to stack up for a colder, wintry pattern to develop into March. SOI took a big downturn  And the MJO is forecast to emerge into the favorable quadrant with a strong signal for a cold pattern in the E US  |

Yep, definitely signs that the Nina is on it's last leg. I was waiting to see a downturn in the SOI before I got too excited and there it is.

Some whales among the 00z gfs ensembles…
00z Ukmet sucks though
