Buckeye05 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Hate to burst the snow bubble here, but I feel that a thread is needed for this developing situation. A powerful trough looks like it will dig into the south early next week. The warm sector is large and a (significant?) severe event looks to be possible. Looks like this could be a multi-day event, ranging from Louisiana to Tennessee and the Carolinas. This time of year is favorable for high shear/low CAPE nocturnal events, and those can be particularly dangerous for Dixie Alley. This is one to watch, as the wording from more knowledgeable meteorologists and weather enthusiasts about this setup has me concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 If it happens, it's a couple of weeks later than usual. These things usually happen in late November in NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Didn't burst my snow bubble. Dig, baby, dig. DPs will be quite unseasonable out ahead of this as well as temps well into the 70's, per the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckeye05 Posted December 5, 2012 Author Share Posted December 5, 2012 hoping this pans out for central NC, been itchin for a decent storm...do y'all think there might be tornadoes? or is it too early to tell? Too soon to tell, and I am not feeling as confident about this as the GFS is now locked in on moisture return that is mediocre at best. Could still change though.

andyhb Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Too soon to tell, and I am not feeling as confident about this as the GFS is now locked in on moisture return that is mediocre at best. Could still change though. Because the storm is not as strong as previously modeled (can we please get a neutral-negative tilted system this year? ), the moisture return will not be as significant. I'd like to see this trend back in the other direction, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
