Yeah, seems the models never get this wrong very often. 7-10 day snow / ice storms, always disappear or turn out to be rain! 7-10 day warmups, verify about 98% of the time! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Nothing looks good on the models for a widespread SE winter storm. Yeah, maybe some CAD areas score a little ice but nothing big is showing right now. Only positive thing, is it's looking like we don't torch like we did last year. The GFS from a couple of days back showed this possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaryWx Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 GFS also showing no real cold coming back in either. Confidence in getting another decent snow storm in NC growing very low now for remainder of this winter in my view. Getting close to throwing the bloody towel in.

For whatever reason, warm wins now. Something is going on that essentially renders analogs of yesteryear useless. Very said times in the winter anymore for the SE. Could be cyclical. All +NAO lately, warm AMO so it could flip. But the longer we go with warmer being the normal I fear I'm wrong and this is the way we're heading.

Not sure that a conus wide trough with a war would do us any good in the immediate SE for snow though. Looks more of the same to me. But who knows?

I think it’s the ONLY model with an even remote decent look! And that’s sad! All the other ones are straight torch/ SE ridge, ugliness, till Atleast 3rd week of February 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually some encouraging signs for the MJO progression for the second half of February, but I suspect that it is too late for us. MA and NE could get score though.

The NAO is known to be streaky on a decadal scale, so I am hoping that some the warmth of this past decade might be natural variation. That being said I expect regular snowfall (ie a nice one every three years or so) in the non-mountainous areas of NC/SC to cease in the next decade or two.

However, this is certainly the type of pattern to see a big cad event, if those highs to the north verify. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I definitely agree with that, just need to see some support from a model other than FV3. I think there is a real possibility for some Ice to show up in the CAD areas before 15th and it may get real interesting sometime after the 15th. Like you said if those highs verify?!!

FallsLake Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Well the 12z FV3 has the Tuesday storm again. Minor to significant ice event across the Piedmont sections of NC, VA, and north parts of the up state. That's only 7 days out. In years past, we would start getting excited about the possibility. Honestly I expect the model to lose it at 18z. Plus there isn't other model agreement as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaryWx Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 18z gfs tries to bring a storm into northern NC on Tuesday as well but mostly north. Odd movement of surface low to off the coast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sill refuse to get drawn in; but if we can get more model support and get this to day 5, maybe.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT looks really good, but at 360 it's a complete pipe dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Well it would be Valentines Day. Mother Nature and Old Man Winter may be getting together for a quick fling. And I do mean quick cuz there isnt any sustained cold on the horizon. Sun angle coming into play and after this warm week ground temps will suck. So its going to have to be the real deal as far as cold and I'm not seeing it here. Temps around freezing wont get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
