The December pattern is quite different in the western cons and in the west Pac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. In what way exactly? Also, your next point about posting timelines - I mean, you always have the option to go take a look at the model for yourself, tropicaltidbits.com. This kind of fits in to a life rule of mine that nice gestures should always be appreciated, and never expected. So, no need to expect to be spoon fed with model output in here Thank you. looking forward, several models have snow showers for the western triangle and triad on Saturday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leesville Wx Hawk Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 We need something working for the western Triangle to restore faith in the snow geese. RAH won’t loosen up until they get a little something. I kid, I kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 3k NAM has snow showers rotating through Chapel Hill and Durham around 18z Saturday. Almost reminds me of the bit of snow we had in early December. We're about 12 hours from the end of the HRRR being in range and that is what really nailed those locations from that far out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks okay so far. I've seen some thundersnow on the extracted output so that means it could be very summer like sort of thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullCityWx Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I know that people are going to think that the 12z Euro looks awful. Yes the storm does head north and yes it does rain and yes it's warm for a day or two. However, if the pattern we think is coming arrives, the 12z Euro just put down 30" over our source regions of air. As long as Canada gets cold and things evolve like it looks like they will, we're eventually going to hit cherries across the slot machine. We focus, and I am guilty of this as much as anyone else, on snow maps but it's fairly easy to catch the pattern evolution here if you ask me. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was awful I didn’t expect the flip to occur until now and the back end of winter is what I’ve been waiting for. Still the best look we’ve had in a very long time and it’s just a matter of time before we score more than just a flizzard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lived between the portals of cae for almost 25 years, so I only count the 8 weeks from Christmas to Valentine’s Day as winter. For really bad years winter would only be the two weeks in mid January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwohweather Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Unreal model run on the Euro showing a ridge building a week out from today. Widespread 70s from Texas to South Carolina. Have to admit I’m torn, on one hand I’m loving these wide open golf courses, on the other hand it’d be awesome to wear shorts again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT1980 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I’m not sold on anything atm outside of 1-2 days. The SER looks too strong now for the low tracks that we want. The overall pattern isn’t bad outside of that though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overnight runs weren’t all that bad, gfs and euro both have a potential overrunning event next weekend and CMC sets up for a big storm at the end of its run. GFS back to long range cold euro warms us but I wouldn’t say I see an established SER on any modeling and cold air even on the euro is within striking distance. It doesn’t warm the east coast, mainly keeps the warmup confined to Deep South. An active storm track with system sliding from Midwest SE to the coast, no real cutters but no coastals. Not the worst set of modeling runs by any means 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownS.EasternVa Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 All of Northern NC had a light snowstorm on the 12z CMC. 1-3 even light amounts would be welcomed I'm sure 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing to watch for is to see if the pattern can become more suppressed than currently shown - sometimes that happens on the modeling in the bigger -NAO’s like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
