It's funny how we haven't mentioned one thing that we'd usually be clamoring for.. a -NAO.  LOL.  Usually at this stage in the game it's a more important feature but this winter, as with last winter, the Pacific has made up for it.

 

Well, we do only have an inch of sleet and a little freezing rain to show for it though...but yeah, let's see if we get anything this week

Exactly.. This is the kind of setup that gives us our big ones. A potent southern wave that closes off as it moves into the deep south with confluence building overhead. Good timing with the anniversary of the Feb 26, 2004 storm coming up.

That 996 low over SAV on the dgex is mouth-watering. LOL

Wow-

Are you talking next weekends storm Tuesday?

With the trough axis between CO and Tx, I wonder where the SLP track for this Saturday potential.  This should track up the apps...

 

I believe it ends up a Miller B type on the 12z gfs.  The trough axis was starting to go negative too soon but couldn't cut because of the cold wedge so transfers to the coast giving a huge storm Saturday.

GFS doesn't.

 

it does, just fizzles the energy too early.. as it's known to to.

 

pay attention to the 500mb maps and you'll see. you want to see that energy stay consolidated and not string out ahead of it, pulling energy out of it s/w. this is what powers our surface low and generates vertical lift to pull the precip inland.

I thought we want the Miller A low to be weak? Larry says that's how we get most of our bigger snows, a 1002-12 low across the gulf and through SGa?

Mack,

That is correct for ATL for sure. Out of 32 Miller A 3.5"+ snows/1.5"+ IP's at ATL since 1877, 29 had 1000-1020 mb for lowest SLP while in the GOM. These are usually underneath a strong high. Two were 995-9 & the other was 1993's 976. Median SLP ~1010. Track either through FL pan/SE GA or through N or C FL. It winds up usually once it hits Gulf Stream.

In the gulf, yes but once in the Atlantic off/near the SE coast line, let it explode!
