MORE LIKELY THAT A HEAVY SNOW EVENT WILL OCCUR IN THE
PAJN/PAOH/PAHN AND HYDER AREAS BEGINNING TONIGHT AS SECOND LOW
MOVES IN. HAVE ISSUED/CONTINUED THE WS WARNINGS FOR THOSE ZONES.

WITH THE SHOT OF ARCTIC AIR COMING IN FROM THE WEST, WILL CHANGE
OVER TO SNOW SHOWERS FOR MOST AREAS BY WED EVENING. THROUGH EARLY
FRI, 850 MB TEMP WILL REMAIN AROUND -10 TO -14 C. COLD ENOUGH THAT
THE PRECIP, THAT WILL FALL FROM THE THREE TROUGH THAT WILL MOVE
THROUGH DURING THAT TIME, WILL BE IN THE FORM OF SNOW. TROUGH ONE
SHOWS UP FOR WED EVENING, NUMBER TWO WILL MOVE MAINLY THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PANHANDLE ON THURS, AND NUMBER THREE WILL BE LATE THURS
NIGHT. NOT EXPECTING TOO MUCH SNOW FALL FROM THESE WAVES BUT
LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ARE POSSIBLE WHERE SHOWERS TRAIN OVER THE
SAME AREA.
LATE WEEK INTO THE WEEKEND, A PATTERN CHANGE IS IN THE WORKS AS
THE UPPER LEVEL POLAR VORTEX THAT HAS BEEN GIVING US THE COLDER
WEATHER LIFTS NORTH. REPLACING IT WILL BE GENERAL SW TO W FLOW
THAT WILL ALLOW WARMER AIR TO CREEP BACK INTO THE AREA. MODEL
AGREEMENT BEGINS TO LAG AFTER FRI AS THE MODELS STRUGGLE WITH
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THE PATTERN CHANGE WILL AFFECT THE NEXT
SYSTEM COMING AT US FROM THE NORTH PACIFIC FOR THE WEEKEND.
MODELS HAVE BEEN TRENDING TOWARD A MORE EASTERLY TRACK RECENTLY
WITH THE LOW NOW HEADING TOWARD THE NORTHERN GULF IN THE GFS AND
THE SE GULF IN THE EC. AGREEMENT GETS EVEN WORSE FOR THE SYSTEM
FOLLOWING THAT.
DECIDED TO STICK WITH THE EC FOR MID RANGE UPDATES AS IT HAD THE
BEST CONSISTENCY FROM LAST NIGHT AND HAD DECENT INITIALIZATION
THIS MORNING. FARTHER OUT USED A BLEND TOWARD THE HPC DATA.
FORECAST CONFIDENCE IS A LITTLE ABOVE AVERAGE OUT TO FRI THEN
DROPS TO BELOW AVERAGE AFTER THAT.
