Completely conned us about its reliability for the rest of the winter in terms of snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceagewhereartthou Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 No snow for most on GFS runs, but at least there's no real warmth. If I cant get snow, I'll take seasonable with no torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 A cutter for the first event wouldnt be the worst thing in the world because hopefully it would put down an arctic boundary and that would drive the next event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still rooting for your outlook though. But maybe we should be prepared to deal with the in and out perfect timing quick hitters just the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 I dont know how I could improve that storm except slow up the high. Below freezing highs the day before, negative dew points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullCityWx Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 If we kept that look, I would expect a snowier solution(or at least sleet) for most of the piedmont in NC. You dont often see a freezing rain storm that stretches from BHM to RDU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont often see a freezing rain storm that stretches from BHM to RDU. That was my thoughts for the north GA mtns too. The switch to ice looks too fast to me for that setup. That high is fairly strong and the low isn't tracking inland along the gulf. We rarely ever see ice if there is ice all the way past Atlanta. Typically if we are getting ice, it's just plain rain in Atlanta. I don't doubt we would more than likely finish as ice as usual, but after the majority of precip has fallen as snow/sleet.

I'd rather hold off the crippling ice and have a classic SE storm where we all score something. Last time we had that, was 2014. Other than that, it's all been about, location, location, location... I.e. North of 85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Glenn Burns 12 mins · Who’s ready for an ice storm ? It’s showing up in the European model run today. Temps in the 20s and between 1.25 to 1.50 inches of freezing rain. This would be a week from tomorrow. I HIGHLY suggest you stay tuned and begin getting prepared. This COULD be a major ice event. 597 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinstonSalemArlington Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Eric Webb @webberweather · 1h High-latitude N Pacific blocking, SE Canada vortex, & an active southern stream are the basic large-scale ingredients that favor wintry wx in the southern US & they might be in place next week. However, timing will ultimately determine if a there's a threat to begin with #ncwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_hailstorm Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Euro has a strong shortwave moving into N.California/S.Oregon at day 4. Into S.Arizona/N. Mexico at day 6 then into W.Texas at day 7 which produces the gulf low. Ukie has this piece at day 3/4 but looks more sheared out as it moves south.Whether or not it runs right into a 1043 high remains to be seen but something to track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 To compliment hailstorm's note....Assuming we get the tall western ridge and cold shot as advertised, here's what I'm seeing with the main wave in question off the west coast. The GFS sucks it into the cold trough that is diving down. The Euro's cold trough misses the wave, so it has a slower trek west to east across the south. The UKMet is in between the 2. At hr144 (Day 6), the GFS has the wave in W Kentucky (sucked into the cold trough)...the UKMet has the wave in W Texas....the winning ticket is the Euro which has the wave in NW Old Mexico. Kind of fits with the old school bias of northern stream dominant with the GFS and slower/stronger southern stream with the Euro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could wait for at least a little more smoke before saying there may be a fire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Just waiting for lookout to pop in - he loves glen mf burns haha. It’s way too far out for me to bite but it looks like a good set up at this point. We haven’t had an ice storm like that in over 10 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Likely won’t mean much in the end, but GFS took a step toward the Euro this run with a slower progression of the Pac wave thru California Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
