January 2019 Medium/Long Range Pattern Discussion

Mid section has had a great Winter and looks to continue, even if we do get in on it.

ECWMF does seem to want to dig the weekend system a little longer, which would put West Tenn and of course Kentucky in play for snow. Couple storms this year the ECWMF beat the NAM in short range (30-36 hr) in the Midwest. Will it translate South?

MJO wants influence later next week, but I tend to believe the strong blocking signals will outweigh. Looks like a mild interlude between arctic systems is likely. It might be 1-2 days. A West first arctic dump might give us 3-4 mild days. Still from the upper latitudes pattern I infer it comes east. Pretty safe call really. Still looks like a true arctic outbreak Jan 26-30.

Very end of the EPS has it easing up slightly, but one expects some ebb and flow. I expect more cold in

It some how manages to snow fairly heavily all around the South except for the Southern Eastern Valley/NE Georgia area. At the 240 mark another southern system is effecting the whole forum with snow and it's pointed at those areas.

It seems like here in Chattanooga we miss out on snow a lot when the board gets snow. I realize this is just a model but it seems pretty accurate for past storms. On a side note, when the forecast busts in our favor we end up overproducing by a big amount. Hopefully if this storm develops we can all get a nice dumping.

The NAM is not onboard with the midweek system. I’m afraid the FV3 is on a lonely island.

I don't know, we still have the Euro and the NAM looks kinda similar at 500mb with the energy.

The Euro gives some in the forum a chance:

The way things have been trending, would not be surprised at all though if the trailing wave really amps up and gets w. TN and KY more than eastern areas.

At this time it looks like the next two weeks have the potential to be very active in terms of storms tracking through the Tennessee valley.  Eventually cold air is going to be in place for someone across the forum (maybe all) as these storms track through our area.  I believe Carver said it earlier but I will echo it.  Someone is likely going to see some of the White stuff we all dream about during these last weeks of January.  Last year we had storms that came within 3-4 days of one another when we had our artic blast.  It would be pretty cool if that same scenario happens this year, and it looks likely given how the models seem to be an agreement about multiple pieces of energy passing through our are over the next 10 days.  Fingers crossed that we can get a statewide event out of them.  Overall though, it will be exciting to possibly have systems to actually track in the short term instead of having to look out past 10 days.   Everyone get your lucky mojo out so we can reel in a big dawg snow soon!!

Seems like the euro is a little faster bringing the precip in versus the FV3 being slower and having the precip arriving at a more favorable time for snow (overnight timeframe).  I wouldn’t worry much about the Nam at 84hrs but that’s just me.  I hope the FV3 is right though, lol.  Either way I agree though that it will be an interesting system to watch pan out.

Fair enough, but if the Euro an NAM are in agreement...

Given how this is likely to trend last minute, you may be sitting pretty @AMZ8990

  I hope so man!!!  They sure have a similar look on those maps you posted so maybe there on to something.  That would be an awesome midweek surprise.  I just wonder how long it’s gonna take for that cold air to filter in is my biggest question.  It seems like the highs on Wednesday have continually been dropped down each run so maybe that’s a good sign.  A few days back it was looking like 58-60 for a high and Now the high is modeled at 51 I believe.  How soon can that cold front take hold is gonna be huge.

Well, you got nothing between you and the arctic except the Plains (unlike we eastern valley folk who have the plateau), so hopefully it comes screaming in! 

Meanwhile Euro looks fun at 500mb next weekend. Let's see where that goes. 

Great point, that’s one of the few bonuses I get on my side of the state! :)  

 

I agree about next weekend, looks very promising at this time.

Stole this from MA forum: Individual GEFS members for next weekend storm:

Seriously though, how many look have we had this winter that were nice hits at 7 days, only to trend to rain? Maybe wrong here, but I like being on the NW fringe at 7 days. 
Still a ways to go though. 


Last year seemed like the most fantasy 7-10 day storms in one season I’ve ever seen. This year says hold my beer.

Definite ice threat on the Euro long range,probably take it with a grain of salt at this range tho
