2010 to go out with a bang?

While it's still a week away and the forecast will likely change, Mother Nature may have one more trick up here sleeve before we ring in the new year.  This image is the GFS forecast for the end of the week and it has a strong storm system developing midweek out west and moving somewhere through the Great Lakes by next weekend.  Very warm air will likely surge northward ahead of this developing storm possibly allowing temperatures to warm into the 40s and maybe a few 50s.  With the warm air overrunning the current snow, widespread fog will be likely beginning Wednesday with a mix of precipitation possible Wednesday night.  Anything from rain to possibly strong thunderstorms could greet us by Friday night.

While it's too early to determine what will exactly happen and how the current snow cover will play an impact on just where the boundaries set up, 2010 could very well end with a bang.
