metalicwx366 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Where are those folks that were criticizing him earlier for calling for this cold shot a week out?A couple of them posted on this page. DT also got at him. Major kudos to the GFS para for sniffing out this event from 228 hours. Check out Brad P's tweet from December 30th and you can see the GFS Para with nearly identical temps to what is being forecasted now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfan98 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Where are those folks that were criticizing him earlier for calling for this cold shot a week out? I commented that his post seemed out of character because he usually sticks with the least extreme solution and model. He was posting the gfs para which was all alone in the extreme cold it was showing. Kudos to Brad P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFC.......LONG TERM /WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY/...I DO NOT PLAN ON MAKING ANY FUNDAMENTAL CHANGES TO THE GENERALTRENDS THROUGH THE EXTENDED FORECAST PERIOD WITH THIS CYCLE. WEAK RE-ENFORCING FRONT TUESDAY DOES NOT AFFECT GENERAL THICKNESS VALUESACROSS THE REGION. STILL LOOKING AT A SIGNIFICANT...ALTHOUGHGENERALLY DRY...FRONTAL PASSAGE WEDNESDAY. ALTHOUGH THE ASSOCIATEDSHORT WAVE IS FAIRLY STRONG...MODELS DO NOT GENERATE ANY MEASURABLEQPF INTO NORTH GEORGIA. WE WILL LIKELY SEE JUST AN INCREASE IN CLOUDCOVER ACROSS THE NORTH. COLDEST AIR STAYS NORTH OF THE STATE...BUTWILL ARE STILL LIKELY TO SEE THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES WE HAVE HADSINCE AROUND THIS TIME LAST YEAR. SYSTEM COMING IN FOR THE WEEKENDINTO EARLY NEXT WEEK REMAINS A BIT HARD TO PIN DOWN. 1000-500MBTHICKNESSES DO NOT INDICATE ANY DEEP...ENTRENCHED COLD AIR OVER THEREGION...BUT COOL AND DRY LOWER/MID-LEVELS HINT AT AT LEAST A SLIGHTCHANCE FOR SOME BRIEF WINTRY MIX BY EARLY SUNDAY. MODELS AND HPC QPFARE MINIMAL 00Z SUNDAY THROUGH 12Z MONDAY WITH ONLY A FEW HUNDREDTHSEACH 12 HOUR PERIOD.

STILL PRETTY DARN COLD THOUGH AND ADD TO THAT THE 10-15MPH WINDS FROM THE STRONG SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AND IT IS VERYLIKELY THAT WE WILL NEED WIND CHILL ADVISORIES...POSSIBLY AWARNING...THURSDAY MORNING. SOME MODERATION EXPECTED TOWARD THEEND OF THE WORK WEEK AS THE SURFACE HIGH PUSHES EAST BUT STILLBELOW-NORMAL FOR TEMPS.NEXT PRECIPITATION SYSTEM LOOKS TO PUSH INTO THE AREA LATE IN THEWEEKEND. STILL A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY BUT THE OVERALL PATTERN ON THEGFS AND ECMWF ARE ACTUALLY FAIRLY SIMILAR...WITH SOUTHWEST FLOWALOFT DEVELOPING OVER THE SOUTHEAST AND ALLOWING MOISTURE ANDPRECIPITATION TO OVERSPREAD THE AREA. DEFINITELY SOME QUESTION ONTIMING OF INCOMING PRECIP VS OVERNIGHT LOWS. LAYER RH VALUESINCREASE QUITE A BIT SATURDAY NIGHT BUT MODELS NOT SPITTING OUTMUCH IN THE WAY OF QPF. INCREASING CLOUD COVER MIGHT DEFINITELYLIMIT HOW COLD TEMPERATURES GET SATURDAY NIGHT BUT FOR NOW IT DOESLOOK LIKE A PORTION OF NORTH GEORGIA WILL BE BELOW FREEZING...ANDWITH THAT HAVE ADDED SLIGHT CHANCE RAIN OR SNOW TO NORTHERN ZONESGENERALLY BETWEEN 06Z-12Z SUNDAY. OF COURSE THIS WILL BE REFINEDOVER THE COMING DAYS BUT KEEP IN MIND THAT POPS ARE PRETTY LOW...BARELY THERE.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 There were actually people who said this could rival last January's cold ? This won't even be close. At least 5-7 degrees warmer for both the highs and lows compared to early January last year. This is really just your typical January arctic air. Not even close to record cold. We see this kind of cold almost every January. In a typical winter, our lowest temp is around 12 degrees or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it's a very impressive cold snap that is literally a once in a year or two event. Nothing to sneeze at. Some years KATL doesn't even drop under 20 at night.....

Exactly, this kind of cold doesn't hit every year at these latitudes. Heck, mby may fail to reach 30 on Thursday even with full sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
