Cold Rain Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Does anyone know what the temps look like with those Eurozone models? They're more amped and the precip is much more robust, but what about temps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NAM hasn't been doing a good job on this system at all and the French model has been preforming better. Looks like the ULL strength is the major factor in the polar jet digging south? Hard for me to to tell on height maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing major, but enough to throw precip further back towards the mntns. Well I gotta say that the latest GFS, verbatim, would probably make just about everyone here happy (though I am sure there is some ice). But this is exactly why I have a hard time trusting that this has any chance to verify. I just don't see a board wide significant even like this. This looks more like a clown map to me. I am still amazed at the difference in amounts we are still seeing. This looks like a boardwide hit, the Euro looks mostly ENC hit, the CMC is more of a NNC/SEVA hit, and NAM looks disgustingly awful for just about everyone ( I Know, the NAM is useless at this point). Then we have lesser well known modles like the Arpegee and ICON and GEFS that are also showing big hits. My head is spinning! Here are a couple things to think about, especially for the upstate and NEGA peeps. This storm seems to have sped up quite a bit. At first it was Sat pm into Sat night. Now it has trended to Fri pm to Fri night, about 24 hours faster. GSP is talking about this starting as rain now, whereas we weren't thinking that a couple of days ago. That will certainly eat into totals. It also seems to be a fast mover. In these type of setup, particularly with late bloomers, eastern areas are going to fare better than us (plus we have lower level temps to worry about now, as usual). My advice is to take these GFS maps cautiously and temper expectations until the last flake has fallen. In those areas, we have seen over and over where cold is delayed in making it over the mountains, moisture is chewed up, and the models try to "see" wraparound snow that climo says will never reach our area. Be careful if you are hanging your bets on evap cooling, upslope enhancement, or wrap around bands. Living in the upstate for over 30 years, I have rarely seen any of those deliver in winter weather events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdWeatherAustin Posted January 5, 2017 Author Share Posted January 5, 2017 Going out for a short trip this evening and noticed it seeming to get cold pretty quick from this front passing through. Mets were saying yesterday it would take a while for the cold to filter in but the winds were brisk and cold. Soil temps here were pushing 50 today so this should help to get them down quick and not eat some of our accumulations away.Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note, this is the POTENTIAL map. Sorry, can't get it to paste the latest map for some reason, but it basically doubles this for potential. For "Most Likely" it has about 2 in the upstate and 3 in the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Living in the upstate for over 30 years, I have rarely seen any of those deliver in winter weather events. Think this was originally a late Friday night Saturday morning event, 3 or 4 days ago, not Saturday night. It has sped up a lot in recent runs. All your points are valid, the temps are very concerning, especially 2m temps! I think this cold is pretty cold, and Arctic front should be through tonight, and I expect the usual 24 hour lag hang up by the mountains, so hopefully,we have some more Arctic like air by Friday morning, and guessing thick clouds Friday, we could maybe stay in the 36-37 degrees range, I think we could be sitting in a good spot! The Euro, is only model that's showing way warm 850s!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are currently forecast to be 44 on Friday with rain starting in the afternoon. With saturated levels int he 40s, it is going to be awfully hard to get temps down below freezing. As you point out, the mountains ALWAYS hang up the cold more than expected. Lookout may have some thoughts on this as well. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only model with that small an amount in Atlanta is the op GGEM. Do not believe that for a second. can we get relatively screwed here- sure. But only a dusting- I doubt it.
