Yea, the 00z went a little extreme. Then of course the 06z backed off. But here were last night's numbers for the 28th:
EURO shows snow falling in LA twice in the next 10 days. Next Wed/Fri.
Nothing major but the hints are there. In this pattern we just won't be tracking things weeks out, it might pop up on us last minute.
If you go back and read the thread from before the Dec 8, 2017 snowstorm, it’s exactly what you’re saying. Long range models only teased us, but overall the pattern looked good. And then 4 days out the mid-range models started to pick up on it, and the excitement followed from there.

Safe bet to say almost every state in the US looks to have some degree of snowpack according to the FV3. I think this could be a classic precursor for some winter fun down here. On a side note, I run on the Mississippi River levee almost everyday and cannot recall the river being this high at this time of year. Midwest continues with excess precipitation and the spring thaw will be interesting.

I'd say 75% of the EURO ensembles show sizable snow events in LA over the next 2 weeks. Again we don't have a specific storm to target right now but the warning shots are there to watch for some fun thru early Feb.
NWS has added a chance of snow to the forecast for many locations as far southeast as St. James for Wednesday night. I think this already happened once within the last week or ten days before it was almost immediately removed from the forecast.

A little off topic, for this thread, not that big of a deal right now, with no imminent hurricane or blizzard. If the river threat continues, I'm sure we will start an appropriate thread to cover it. Always interesting to watch, as the snow up north, melts.
