Huge Hudson Bay PV with lots of cold spread out west to east...we're on the fringe of it. Yep, just park one of those 1060 highs in NY or SE Canada, as a wave scoots along the gulf = money! Or a dominant monster high in the plains that overwhelms the whole country, then a 1014 mb low pressure crossing the gulf, blamo 1988 redux!

Maybe snow in the islands. Just give me 1040 and I'll call it a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jburns Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 I am entering a "phone weather" period from now until after Christmas. My phone will let me know if something major is about to pop a day or two ahead of time. That's all the warning I need. No maps, no models. This Christmas I'm going to just enjoy the holiday and the real weather instead of obsessing over what may be or could have been. Ho, ho ho!!

Still need a lot of warm rain! Im glad it's looking like parts of GA getting snow on Christmas Day !

FallsLake Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (but) My grid forecast: Saturday Night A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 48. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Sunday A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 60. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Sunday Night A chance of showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 48. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Christmas Day A chance of showers. Partly sunny, with a high near 60. Chance of precipitation is 30%. Then from RAH (...pull for GFS): Markedly different solutions for the following system for the weekend result in very different forecast scenarios as a cold frontapproaches the area from the west with a parent high over the Great Lakes. The differences are not in the type of the system, but rather on how far east the front will make it before stalling out. CurrentGFS output shows the front moving all the way through the area by Saturday night before retrograding back over the forecast area by late Sunday and remaining overhead through Monday night. The ECMWFsolution on the other hand keeps the front to our west throughout the forecast period, keep central NC in the warm sector but also quite a bit drier as the bulk of the precipitation stays west of theCWA. For now have favored this slower timing and therefore keep temperatures and dewpoints on the higher end of the spectrum andpops on the lower end. This forecast is likely to change throughout the week until models get a better grasp on the progression of thefront. Temps well above normal, upper 50s to upper 60s in spots. Lows in the mid 40s to near 50 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
