Looks like GFS is giving Kansas/Missouri in on action too. It's even more north. Due to the storm handing off it's energy to incoming shortwave from the north.

GFS just doesn't know how to party. Let's hope it's not the one model that is right in this whole mess.

The jumble out west is messing with it's head. Cyclogenesis? I remember someone saying it delays cold air surges.

One thing going in the favor of a winter storm is that the GFS has been pretty lousy in the medium range recently.

GFS isn't all that colder either. Stronger high = Less cold in its world.

And the GFS panics again with the cold air... :spam:

But on a serious note the 500mb on the GFS is looking good :D

The GFS has been a joke lately and it had a bad handle on the tropics since its update. I take it seriously because it is one of the big ones but in all honesty, why should I give it any more weight than the other models? It hasn't earned that respect this year. Of course, this being said, it will be the only one that gets it right. lol

Although the gfs cant seem to handle the cold air properly, one thing i find really interesting is all the moisture it has behind the subfreezing line. Since the cold air is likely to move further south than it shows, and the low is expected to round the bottom of the airmass, such post-frontal precip can likely be expected for areas further south into north/central texas, instead of just up in oklahoma and the panhandle. Wow its gonna be exciting to see how this whole event unfolds.

If the GFS pans out, forget Houston, Southeastern Oklahoma wouldn't get much if anything.

I might be looking at an old run. I hope not, but it looks like the 0Z ECMWF is rather impressive. It looks like it shows the changeover in precip type & everything as the column cools. I know it's a tiny bit deceptive because it's 1 frame/day.

I call this GFS run bullish. It does this every few runs - watch the next run will be completely different.

We will see what the Euro says in a little bit.

No model is the best model. They are used in conjunction.

I agree with that..its always good to see what each model has to say and use them all to come up with a good idea of what may happen.
