LONG TERM...

THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY

TRANSIENT BLAST OF MODIFIED ARCTIC AIR IS STILL ON TRACK FOR THIS
WEEKEND...GIVEN THE EXPECTED HUDSON BAY NEGATIVE MIDLEVEL HEIGHT
ANOMALY. THERE IS SOME CONCERN ON THE DEGREE OF HEIGHT RISES ACROSS
THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC AND INTO GREENLAND...WHICH WILL DICTATE THE
OVERALL EVOLUTION OF THE WANDERING EASTERN CANADIAN NEGATIVE HEIGHT
ANOMALY. THE EVENTUAL LOCATION OF THIS FEATURE WILL DICTATE THE
DEGREE OF HEIGHT FALLS SUSTAINED OVER THE GREAT LAKES AND THE
ENSUING STORM TRACK AS THE THE WESTERN NOAM RIDGE BREAKS DOWN AND
IMPULSE LADEN WESTERLY FLOW TRANSITIONS INTO THE NORTHERN CONUS.
THE 12Z ECMWF OFFERS A SW BIAS TO THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX...WHICH
WOULD SUPPORT A DELAY IN THE ARRIVAL OF WARMER THERMAL FIELDS...IN
ADDITION TO TRACK LOCATION OF THE SOUTHERN STREAM IMPULSE EXPECTED
EARLY NEXT WEEK. GFS/GEM SOLUTIONS STILL AGREE ON A FASTER EXIT OF
THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX...SUPPORTING A NORTHERN BIAS TO THE MON
SOUTHERN STREAM IMPULSE. OTHERWISE...FORECAST DETAILS BECOME MUDDLED
BY TUESDAY...AS COMPLEX FLOW EMERGES ONCE AGAIN...GIVEN THE
EXTENSION OF THE EAST ASIAN JET ACROSS THE PAC. HENCE...WILL SIDE
WITH CONSENSUS SOLUTIONS WHICH SUPPORT A TREND TOWARD CLIMO POP
NUMBERS.

MAIN FORECAST HIGHLIGHT/CONCERN CONTINUES TO BE SNOW CHANCES THIS
FRIDAY...WITH A MODIFIED ARCTIC FRONT LIKELY TO SUPPORT A RATHER
BRIEF BUT STRONG PERIOD OF UVM. EXTENDED 40 POPS ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE EASTERN FA GIVEN SIGNALS FOR A POSSIBLE WEAK GOMEX
CONNECTION...ALLOWING THE TRANSPORT OF SUFFICIENT LL MOISTURE AHEAD
OF THE LL COLD FRONT...BIASING QPF NUMBERS UP IN THE SE. STAUNCH CAA
/DELTA T/S APPROACHING 20C/ AND RESULTANT INCREASING LAKE INDUCED
INSTABILITY WILL CERTAINLY INCREASE THE CHANCES FOR LAKE EFFECT SNOW
OVER THE NW. NEARLY ALL DETERMINISTIC GUIDANCE INDICATES A THERMAL
TROUGH SIGNAL IN MSLP FIELDS BY 12Z SAT...SUGGESTING A RATHER
INTENSE LAKE INDUCED CONVECTIVE SIGNAL. LONG FETCH MAJOR AXIS FLOW
WITH A SUPERIOR CONNECTION WOULD SUPPORT A GOOD POTENTIAL FOR A MID
LAKE OR SHORE PARALLEL BAND. HAVE ADJUSTED POPS UP FRIDAY NIGHT
THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT FOR THIS. OPTED TO ADD A LOW CHANCE POP MON
NIGHT THROUGH TUES FOR THE FORTHCOMING WESTERN NOAM HEIGHT
TRANSITION AND RESULTANT ACTIVE WESTERLY FLOW. OTHERWISE...CONTINUED
TO ADJUST TEMPS DOWN IN THE SAT-SUN PERIOD...UTILIZING POTENTIAL
MIXING HEIGHTS/POTENTIAL TEMPS/AND RAW MODEL MIN T OUTPUT. TEMPS ARE
EXPECTED TO WARM BACK TO AROUND CLIMO NORMS BY MID NEXT WEEK IN FAST
WESTERLY FLOW.

IN LINE WITH THE FAMOUS WORDS OF HANK SNOW AND JOHN KAY...I'M MOVING
ON. THIS IS THE LAST FORECAST BY JC AT IWX. GOOD LUCK TO ALL AND
HAPPY FORECASTING.
