GSP gets dumped and Oconee Nada..page for the course. I'm inclined to call myself part of NE Ga now....screw zone!

lol sad isnt it?  this set up screws us big time! the mtns eats 1/2 the moisture and then the downsloaping eats the other 1/2 :( oh well - we can always hope. got my fingers crossed but am not really overly hopeful at the moment.

Here in West GA we don't really have any big mountains to the west or north to eat the moisture and no downsloping, so I'm not sure why we get screwed. Too far west maybe ?  We got screwed last month when the moisture just fizzled as it hit the GA border and it looks like we're about to get screwed again.

Waaaaay too far west.  The moisture from this system is supposed to come from the Atlantic Ocean as the Low pressure spins and pushes it back over land.  It's not coming from the gulf.

Your'e not getting "screwed". It is meteorology 101. Consider a huge bonus if somehow you did get a little something. Most of N GA wil be way too dry to get anything more than, perhaps, flurries/showers. The winds around the developing Atlantic low are from the N to NW, which are too dry to bring in much moisture. 130+ years of climo says these types of storms almost never give the bulk of N GA outside the mtns much at all...perhaps some of NE GA could get real lucky.

But even extreme south GA and FL are forecast to get a rain/snow mix ! Yes, Florida could end up getting more snow this winter than Atlanta ! If that's not getting screwed I don't know what is.

I'll pay a dollar to the weather gods per every flurry I see this wknd.  Don't think I'll need to go to the bank, but would be happy to.

With this system the lee trough from the mtns is helping the QPF in the carolinas, not hurting.  Our issue in NGA is that the trough is not digging far enough west to get the moisture to ramp up quick enough for us.  What we need is for the trough to end up further west and we would have a shot but it's likely a little too late for that for us in NGA.

Ha, I hope this doesn't happen when you're dishing out pills to some old man in about 3 years!

"Your prescription will be ready in 15 minutes. I know it's slow, but the 12z Euro is rolling"

 

Anyway back on topic so this doesn't get moved. Obvious trend is obvious with more moisture west. I just hope the NAM catches on or some other short range models. The fact that it's all GFS (and a little bit of the other globals) is a little unsettling but to say I'm not excited would be a lie.

But none of the other models are close to what the GFS has.  What in the world do you go with if you are a forecaster?  For my back yard I would go with a dusting to 1/2 and see if the models can agree on something.  Lets see if the EURO can get amped up a bit.

 

the GGEM is very similar.
