dsaur Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Good point Tony. Greg, I actually think you have a chance to end up with my point forecast, lol. Didn't you get zr and ip this last time? The way that front draped almost parallel to the gulf, meant it'd never get cold here until well past the rain, but you got some of the cad push didn't you?

NCSNOW Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Can't believe no one is talking about this weekends storm, GFS has nearly 8" in Boone...that'd be the biggest storm of the season by far and even has the foothills in the 2-4" rangeThe chatter will pickup tonight, if the models are still barking. Been an awesome week. Winter storm, record cold and of all things a clipper surviving over the mtns. This is a shot where taking with house money this weekend for a select group of posters. Next week if we can get just a little luck timing wiseTues through Friday could be an awesome going out party as winter gets ready to start closing out.

I could go for a chase if my volunteering service get cancelled Saturday. Boone will do much better than Asheville, that's for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got home, it was 34F and 38F when I went to bed. I noticed on my drive to work yesterday and today, the icing really began where HWY 20 and 108 intersect in Cherokee Cty. The ridge that the Cherokee Cty Airport sits on got hammered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deltadog03 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 well, we got some people some wintry weather, can we spread the wealth now? I really like the potential with the pattern for the next 7-14 days. Next week looks HIGHLY interesting. Take a look at the video.

Cold Rain Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I counted 18 of 21 GEFS members that had snow in the SE days 6-8. 13 of the 21 were "big" winter storms. Here is the mean and a member of the day... I don't know if that's technically possible anymore....that second map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaryWx Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I don't know if that's technically possible anymore....that second map. Heck, it could even take a bit of the dreaded NW trend and we'd be good. It's a DGEX wannabee. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Here's a comparison of the big 4 operational models at hr144, next Tues morning (18z GFS at hr138). Key features for a big dog are the PV lobe / cold vortex just NW of the Great Lakes, and the closed low over California / desert southwest. In a perfect world, the cold vortex slowly rotates southeast through the Great Lakes, then over Northern New England and SE Canada...Cold High pressure builds into the Great Lakes behind this feature....Meanwhile, the California low kicks out and spawns a Gulf Low in concert with cold air in place. Obviously, it's a long way out, but the nice thing here is that these are large scale features as currently modeled, and not a setup reliant on less predictable fast moving features in the flow.

Man at that southern jet! This looks like a real deal big dog! And only 7 days out. That sprawling high in the plains is a real beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Grit, I shared that image elsewhere (with credit to you ofcourse). That is an amazing sight to see for the potential heading into next week. The big 4 globals are matching up, and the UKMET doing pretty well last storm hypes me up agreeing with the other three.

rduwx Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I think the gfs is setting up the day 9 storm. We'll see where it goes but we have energy dropping from the northern stream and a piece of energy that split off the baja low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 That's a big dog staring us down at 216. I like the looks of this one. Big 50/50 low setting up with HP all over the top. At 225 you've got it snowing from the panhandle of OK to the NC coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
