January 13-17, 2024 | 1-2 Punch Winter Storm Potential

Might as well add another one to the list. GFS has been showing signs of an active period continuing into mid month. I would think this one has a better chance to be farther south depending of course on what happens with the 8-10 storm.

This is fun.. lol.. At least it’s not boring around here this winter. Even if it’s rain, there’s a lot to talk about. I’ll take it!

Agreed about it being farther south than the storm before that.  imo, the only way it wouldn't be would be if the timing slows down and gives the baroclinic zone more time to shift back north after the preceding storm.

Energy gets held up in the south with a later ejection.

I am a big snow fan, but a friend of mine has a bday on January 12. She is the bartender at a restaurant nearby, and she is likely to be there for her big day. As a result, I don’t want snow on the 11th or 12th. I hope it holds off until her commute home. She only works the weekends, so if the weather screws up my chances of seeing her on the 12th, I will be out of luck.

Did this evolve into the beautiful bowling ball system on 1/14? Because wow.

Same one i think. Think it just slowed down.

As mentioned above, GFS has a nice bowling ball storm.

I'm flying to California on the morning of the 14th.

1) Selfishly, I will be furious if this cancels my flight.

2) This storm is a sure bet since I'll be out of the area.

This is the one.  All signs and signals point to a cold and snowy end of winter.  Absolutely now way this doesn't happen.....

At least it is something to track.  😆

This one will happen and probably one day earlier than currently modeled. I want a big storm but not until January 13 or 14. I just noticed that temperatures here in St. Louis will be normal to below normal until at least mid- month.

That's a monster H5 look for a massive storm somewhere over the eastern lakes I'd assume. Nice fantasy image though.

12z GFS is giving me flashbacks to March 7-8 2008.
