An update on the longer range...

Yesterday, I mentioned the longer range data focusing on a potential event for the weekend of December 6-7. Today, both main longer range models (the GFS and ECMWF) are suppressing or flattening the flow during this period and holding back energy over the Southwest. This would delay any storm development until Monday or Tuesday (12/8-9) and potentially drive the system west of us, as opposed to up the coast. As I've said, we're still way too far in advance to jump to any conclusions. Tomorrow, the model data could completely change again, so stay tuned...
