January 4-6 2025 | Winter Storm

Why not take a shot at this. There's been a signal for a more southern type system in this time period making it the next possible wintry system. Todays 12z GFS/Euro don't have anything drastic but as far out as this is we've seen the full array of solutions on previous runs. Something to watch and hope.

Desperate times

I think this is the time period where we START to have chances at following snow chances again…

Forerunner right before that dumps some decent snow too.

And then you get dumped on right after this one.

Absolutely. Gonna need all kinds of storm threads!

Not much on the 12z GFS for this time period but there's a little something right after New Year and even more so around the 7th.

Might end up needing a thread for the 12/31-1/1 storm

12z EURO...

The latter storm was there on the Euro, too.

Lots of digital snow being forecasted for many starting around this time. Let’s see how it plays out!

It’s been too quiet in here. Are we back to cold and dry for the beginning of January?

It’s the holidays. 😊 Lots brewing for this time period, though right now it looks like the most promising storms are just after this.

[Mar66rus2]

I hope so…we have been in a snow drought here for over two seasons now.

I moved the dates out a bit as the GFS, Euro and to a lesser extent the Canadian still show a system with some wintry precip for this time period.  Atm, snow impacts are primarily north of I-80ish.

Based on what ensembles have been showing the past several days would lean towards the 0Z ECMF look on a possible coastal (eastern OV) system vs what the 6Z GFS cutter is showing. Maybe have a clipperish  snow from a northern piece of energy diving into the trough  for I80 folks before it rounds the trough and possibly comes up the coast or OTS? Western Lakes people on Americanwx issuing CAD watches as most are convinced early January  slots the trough right back in the position it was in late Nov. and December. Hopes for it to retrograde as we move further into January-February.

Euro-AI model would be a very nice front-end hit with lots of qpf overrunning a stubborn cold air mass. Might be some icing issues as well. Still too far away though to take any tracks/details seriously.

12z GFS was really close to being special...time to start watching this closely now that we're inside of 10 days

Thanks i was considering changing the dates myself.

Will also say a little system materialized just before this once again.. and then more energy AFTER this one.
