Euro is swinging some major cold air into the SE @174. 

 

 

I see the Euro runs a storm West of the Apps at 240. That would prob end up in 1 of 2 scenarios...

 

1. The airmass won't be able to moderate enough in time and we have an ice storm.

 

Or...

 

2. The Euro is wrong in sending the storm inland and we end up with a Miller A.

A daytime high in Atlanta in the mid to upper 20s ? That's hard to fathom.

I'm well north of the city but it happens here a couple times a year.  Even last year we had a day in February that stayed in the 20s.  It might have had a midnight high above though.

Lol, I had that for two weeks a few years ago.  Not uncommon at all.  I remember walking home from high school in the 60's when it was 5 degrees.  It used to be lots colder in Ga. than recent years.  We used to get Bevo cold :)

  Finally a cold push down to the gulf showing up.  If that happens I'll get officially psyched over the space between shots...if a second shot shows up.  Maybe around the end of the month?  All we need is the roller coaster, and so far all we have gotten is the going up part, lol.  When we get some dips then the fun can begin.  Cold brings dry, warm brings rain, meeting at the coming and going nexus gets the fun in here!!  Meanwhile I still have a ULL going overhead soon, if the models hold it, so I'm going to go out and look up to see if I can see snow melting on the way down :)  To bad my Tree Top Snow Observation Tower isn't complete yet, lol.  T
