Jet Streak Forecast for the Weekend

Longer term forecast really hang on jet stream models. The jet is really a series of streaks of high wind speeds and not a continuous stream.

This is a forecast model for Sun the 7th.   Notice the upper leading edge beginning to be centered over the PNW.   The Jet is dipping below a low pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska.   If the whole thing shift north and flattens out, then it could be a good snow producer.   If it bends deeper or south then it may not materialize as much.    Wind speeds aren't that impressive within the jet so my guess is that it will bend further south.  Just a guess though.   Something to watch as the time draws closer.
