New Years Eve Update: Tracking Winter Storm Potential for Sunday Jan 7th

 Good morning and I hope everyone has a Happy New Year!

As the New Year gets underway and our pattern change starts progressing, I like what I see for a winter storm threat next weekend. Those of you who have been following me on X, know I have been discussing this over the last several days. Models are not starting to hone in on what may happen.


Lets take a look...


A storm moves off shore on Thursday and this will pave the way for our main event potential in its wake...



This storm helps set up a block in the atmosphere which gives the next storm cold air to work with...






A block means high pressure which supplies cold air that can lock in and not retreat when a storm system arrives. The result is a chance of a winter storm next weekend.


The GFS model shows one scenario



While the European model shows another...



At this time I like this area shaded for best snowfall potential if this materializes...



In terms of accumulations its very early but if this did come together its a 6-12 type storm.


Stay tuned more updates to come!
