Tomer’s Take: Now it’s a waiting game. The northern jet and southern jet merge to deliver a major storm system 2/26-2/28 and a second storm system 2/29-3/2. The brief WNW Flow is a bonus.
My afternoon forecast video update:

Water vapor satellite shows two storm systems. They both play a role in the pattern shift on/after 2/25. The two storm systems could merge with the northern and southern jet branches.
Orange/red = drier air aloft.
