Southern storm could phased with northern storm( Arctic front) Thursday next week

This is how this storm could phased. If the southern storm slowed down which allows the northern storm(Arctic front) to merged togther. This is certainly is possible. Models have a difficult time this winter with these cutoff lows in the SW. Nogaps model Thursday am is showing what I'm talking about. Note this is not my forecast as quite bit of options are on the table. It's 5-6 days out. In order of this storm to become a snowstorm we need #1 cold air and #2  low pressure to track west of the Applachians mountains or near.
