January 17th-18th Winter Storm Discussion

Suppression for us down in the SE is when the PV is nearer to SE Canada or the NE. With the SE ridge still around (though on its way out) we will still have temp issues.

Yeah, it's just when we're this deep into winter and the PV is close enough to suppress, we're usually colder. But yeah, the SE ridge is tough.... It's actually pretty amazing that the compression between the PV and the SE ridge might not be strong enough to prevent the system from strengthening or holding strong as it moves east, but the system would potentially still remained suppressed and we're all still warm. Just seems like a fairly odd setup. It'll be interesting to see how it works out.

When the 6z NAM take a perfect track and its still to warm, you know it's going to be a tough winter. From GaWx said it looks like the beginning if February the weeklies have a setup that looks promising. Good news, it's less than 3 weeks away.

Maybe I'm just being a weenie but I think that assumes that the precip will not overpower the column and cool it enough to make it a dynamically driven snow storm. It certain looks like it's going to be an all or nothing event for someone that's for sure. Just FYI NAM SV snow maps did have very light accumulations around CLT and points just E,N,S,W .

yea its always only three weeks away and then nothing comes of it when we get close. what a bummer. I live in the mtns. and temps look cold enough for Thursday night for all snow but unless the storm trends a little to the north the mtns won't have any moisture to make snow, GO FIGURE

I'd be very surprised if this solution pans out, but it's neat to look at.  6 inches or so around the Big South Fork.

Allan's maps are better for snowfall...twisterdata needs to be retired for some.

Well, the precip explosion part was correct..............nice closed system and negative tilt, but this run is considerably warmer. Is that just a hiccup? Time will tell. Track and intensity is pretty consistent with the last run, although the axis of heavier precip has been shunted east (again), but not as much as the last several NAM runs. Perhaps it's beginning to hone in on quite a bit of precip for the southern apps and western NC.
