The GFS and ECMWF models are now hinting at a strong storm system crossing from the Central Plains east into the Midwest or Great Lakes. At the moment, there is a difference between the two, with the American GFS model taking the system into Chicago and the European ECMWF model taking the system into the US/Canada border in the Western Great Lakes. The map I drew above went by the GFS model for the sole purpose of covering all possibilities as far as who has at least a chance of getting snow at the moment. If this storm does happen and the models are correct, I would expect a good accumulation event occurring in the North Plains and Upper Midwest, possibly in the Great Lakes. The GFS model shows a fair accumulation event above 4 inches for some people in the Northeast, so that threat will need to be monitored.

I REALLY LIKE THE MAPS WITH THESE LAST COUPLE POSTS. EVEN THOUGH THESE WILL NOT BE IN MY AREA THE PICTURES SHOW WHO HAS THE BEST CHANCES SO THE REST OF US DONT HAVE TO ASK ANY QUESTIONS
GOOD JOB
This is as good as it gets- confidence is too low to outline anything else otherwise you would have seen it.
The dates make me cringe. Happy 35th anniversary, Blizzard of '78.
