January Pattern and Storm Discussion


Cold Rain

Recommended Posts

On the 12Z GFS, the 1/1-2 storm is largely delayed til 1/2-3 and there is not much of a cold high to the north (delay probably hurts since it allows the cold high to move away pre-precip.). This combined with a track well inland means relatively little wintry precip. for most of the SE US. So, this is not a good run to see, but there is such a long way to go. I'm sticking with a 25% chance for a sig. wintry precip. event (say 1"+ S/IP and/or 0.25"+ of ZR) around 1/1-2 for the bulk of N GA from ATL-AHN north.

No concern. Gfs has flipped and flopped for several weeks

True and hopefully this is just an ugly blip, but the GFS has been too cold on average going back at least to Oct. Examples: there were a couple of runs giving KATL a tie for their coldest on record (28) in Oct. Well, KATL STILL hasn't gotten down to 28! The colder runs have largely not been verifying while the warmer ones have been doing better. This reminds me a little of the winter of 2001-2 but not to that great a degree. During that winter, the MRF/AVN (now GFS) were bringing down epic cold airmasses galore. Whereas it was a great winter snowwise for N GA with that one major snow early in Jan. and there was some decent cold, the really severe cold stayed away. Also, like Dec. 2012, JB was terrible with his calling for so much severe cold throughout the winter. I assume he was partially riding the cold GFS.

2nd run I've seen with a strong PV split,this one goes up to 2 hpa!Almost a complete strat split.

This run takes the split PV into far eastern Canada,tip of Greenland not like yesterdays run that put it near Hudson Bay.That's why we don't see the colder air.Need this feature to go there to get the ball rolling faster if not we're going to have to wait a while longer.Just another solution so just keep watching.

Still have strong warming on guidance over the NW,Alaska but the -PNA is still trying to fight back.This could be a battle all winter.

Just my opinion.

Nothing to really see on the 12z euro as far as a New Year storm goes. There's a storm that work's across the midwest that taps into some gulf moisture on 12/29 but floods the SE w/ warm gulf air. Looks like some nice rains for the SE though. As far as the system around 1/2 or 1/3, the euro never brings into baja and it just spins out in the pacific. I'm out to hr 222 so will see if anything interesting happens before the end of the run. One thing is it's cold, just cold and dry.

storm the other day was a let down and now what looked like a good storm after Christmas for wnc now looks like another disappointment

The storm for Christmas has always been on the edge of being a let down and should have always been looked at as simply a bonus. For once cold air with a good setup is modeled something this one did not have going for it. Obviously it's so far away anything can happen but it's a great sign that in continues to show up.

Yes. I 100% agree with the statement below. This statement is very true around MBY as well as many east of the apps..

It's going to take a couple of cutters to lay down enough Midwestern and Ohio valley snow-cover to get StrongWx in Ellenboro and the rest of us where we want to be once we turn the page into January

always in favor of the -10C 5000ft isotherm laying along the Ohio River and that is certainly not the case at the present time

to help turn the pattern down the road, I'm all for this deepening and riding the Apps or slightly west along a Gadsden, AL to Crossville, TN line as long as severe weather doesn't rip someone's face off

its the old getting hyped up for the christmas storm because we all want snow for christmas even if its a day after. even though i knew it was on the edge i was hoping it would come south and east with time but it doesn't look like its going to.

I thought that was him, we had a falling out on facebook last year. :cry: but welcome aboard Andy!

Another great track in fantasy land for the New Yearish storm on the 18z.

before I get banned or told to take this to the banter thread...

Strong, I really appreciate the Fox promotion to chief.. so where do I send the check? your addr sir?

Franklin is a good friend... and Burger, nothing but love for ya... you are one of the better posters on here and have enjoyed your Euro play-by-plays since you seem to get the maps more quickly than anyone on the eastern seaboard

Delta, msuwx & Foothills are all good friends and have knowledgeable input, but I'm not telling you anything you don't know

Back on topic: let's hope the subtropical jet keeps kicking and the SOI can at least stay negative at times. The more systems we get to roll across the higher the probability we cash.

Awesome. You're my favorite winter weather TV weatherman....(Hopefully, that brief welcome will not be deleted :) )
