Potential December 12th-13th threat

The 18z data was very impressive in showing the front passage around 12z Sunday with temps in stead decline from that point until it bottoms out at 10 degrees Tuesday 12z. So in other words, Monday will fall from the mid teens when I wake up Monday morning to near single digits 24 hours later.

True, this run looks bad at the end but actually looked good up till 60. Who knows if the NAM if right in dropping the polar vortex in and pulling the shortwave North. It looked like up till that point it was headed East like the GFS or even south of its 18z solution.

Of course it is risky to put too much in the NAM past 80 whether it show something good or bad.

Well per the NAM the good news is that atleast Sunday won't be a complete washout and it will be warm. We can hang our hats on that atleast....

The NAM is showing somewhat of a CAD signature at 12z Sunday just when the precip arrives. The 1320m 850-1000 thickness line is in western NC. I wouldn't call this warm. at least not at the surface. Looks like some insitu damming trying to develop. I am sure with that track, it will get scoured out before the front arrives.

The issue is that the Euro is in the same line.

The GFS sucks all around- much less cold than the previous run and warmer than the Euro. We all laughed at the NWS and local mets but they not be so far off after all- high on the GFS mid 30s Monday, so 40s Tuesday may be possible here.. I really hope the Euro comes in colder than this.....

Still looks plenty cold here

0z UKMET has the slp reflection in IL at 72hrs, so that about wraps things up folks... Hopefully a modified cold shot on the backside, as even though I am one for extremes, my gas bill this month is going to be one for the ages since the wife has the thermostat set on a nice toasty 78 currently, and that will likely continue till March or April barring a torch! :thumbsdown:

Well could it be because the GFS isnt wrapping the system up as much in time to advect the colder air down like the Euro does? I mean the GFS looks like a mess with the surface reflection with little QPF so gotta wonder if thats why the cold doesnt come down as far...

The culprit if this warmer trend verifies is the &%$@#%&% La Nina- the strong Pacific jet knocks the EPAC/western NOAM ridge down too quickly- the really good cold outbreaks have much more ridge amplification than what is progged with this set-up.

Good point about the ridge, the GFS breaks it down faster than the Euro. The GFS has a day or so cold shot for you in Georgia. It keeps it around a bit longer for NC before warm advection takes over at 850 mb.
