GaWx Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Look at what has occurred in parts of central and even south FL this morning from the first (weaker) of the two post cold front upper level disturbances! Also from MLB NWS: ISSUED AT 1049 AM EST SUN DEC 25 2022 A SMALL BAND OF PRECIPITATION FORMED OVER EASTERN OSCEOLA COUNTY AND PUSHED ACROSS CENTRAL BREVARD COUNTY AND OFFSHORE LATE THIS MORNING. TEMPERATURES WERE COLD ENOUGH TO PRODUCE A WINTRY MIX OF LIGHT SNOW AND SLEET, FROM VIERA TO MERRITT ISLAND, COCOA BEACH AND CAPE CANAVERAL. MAINLY TRACE AMOUNTS HAVE OCCURRED WITH RAPID MELTING. Here's a link to video evidence of wintry precip: https://twitter.com/realTimB/status/1607043178372243457/mediaViewer?currentTweet=1607043178372243457¤tTweetUser=realTimB In addition, Immokalee in SOUTH FL a little before this reported "MIX PCPN" at 10 AM!

GaWx Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 What an impressive cold spell that went all of the way to the coast at its peak on 12/24 thanks to very strong W to WNW winds that prevented modification from the ocean. The little bit of modification was mainly from the marshes west of there. The inland areas had lows of 19 on 12/24, but Ft. Pulaski right on the coast had 22! The highs there and inland were only 33. On 12/25, Ft. Pulaski had a low/high of 27/44. This morning they were down to ~31. What's even more impressive are the offshore buoys 41004/41008: - On 12/24, 41004 (Gray's Reef 50 miles SE of Savannah) got down to a low of 28.2 at 9:50 AM, which was over an SST of 60! It was below 32 for 9 straight hours and below 40 for 40 straight hours! - On 12/24, 41008 (Edisto 45 miles SE of Charleston) got down to a low of 28.4 at 11:40 AM, which was over an SST of 69! It was under 32 for 10 straight hours and under 40 for 41 straight hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 If I were in the Atlanta to Athens corridor and even well south to below the southern ATL burbs, I'd be pretty excited about the chance to see snow fall tonight, possibly even with light accumulations in some areas. This is a very tough call due to the very dry air there now, but check out Tunica in far NW Mississippi posted at the bottom. They received one inch within an hour! Memphis and other nearby areas also got snow. Most models, including mesoscale, didn't have that much there. In GA though, dews are only in the single digits to just below 0! In the Memphis area, dews were a bit higher in the mid teens before the snow fell. So, there's a good bit drier air over N GA to overcome at the surface. Nevertheless, though it isn't mesoscale and thus fwiw, the 12Z UKMET has an area of accumulating snow from N AL to NW GA. But it also has a heavier area from the W ATL burbs through ATL with a likely overdone max of 1.5" at Carrollton and tapering down to ~0.3" in Atlanta. The 12Z Euro has nothing of the sort and instead has a max of ~0.5" between Gainesville and Athens. Neither model had the 1" at Tunica. On the mesoscale models, both the latest NAM and WRF have nothing accumulating over N GA other than a very thin strip of a tenth or two on the WRF from E of Lake Lanier to the SC border. But both have a very narrow band quite a ways to the south over north central GA but not til ~midnight with a max on the NAM of nearly 1" near LaGrange! Going to be fun to follow: AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MEMPHIS TN UPDATE ISSUED AT 1125 AM CST MON DEC 26 2022 QUICK UPDATE. TEMPERATURES ARE QUITE UNEVEN ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA AT THIS HOUR. MOST SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES CAN BE FOUND ACROSS NORTH MISSISSIPPI, WHERE HEAVY WET SNOW HAS CREATED ICY ROADWAYS, BRIDGES, AND OVERPASSES. TUNICA, MISSISSIPPI PICKED UP AN INCH IN ABOUT AN HOUR AND REPORTED VERY DENSE FOG LAST HOUR. TEMPERATURES LOOK TO REMAIN SUBFREEZING ALONG THE TENNESSEE AND MISSISSIPPI BORDERS FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS, WHERE ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. ANOTHER HALF INCH UP TO AN INCH OF SNOW IS POSSIBLE IN THESE AREAS. Edit: Check out this from Tunica at 10AM CST!

yotaman Posted December 27, 2022 Author Share Posted December 27, 2022 Third morning in a row of teens. I don't think I have ever seen that here without snow on the ground. Low of 17, high of 46. Currently at 7:15 pm it is 27/20. Will see if we can make it 4 in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 The radar looks pretty impressive between Atlanta and Athens. But how much is reaching the ground? So far in Atlanta, itself, and just north, very little or nothing has reached the ground with dewpoint depressions still 25-30 in most cases.

GaWx Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Starting just before 10 PM, snow suddenly started coming down quite nicely from the eastern burbs of ATL eastward under those impressive radar returns! Expect road problems almost immediately! Edit: light snow reported at all immediate Atlanta stations as of midnight! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 23.8 here this morning. First morning since Friday we didn’t end up in the teens. Lows for the cold snap: 9.6, 19.4, 15.1, 23.8. Definitely been an impressive cold snap for there being no snowcover anywhere near us. Feels very wasted especially knowing it will take more than a week to reload Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 KATL ended up with 0.1" of snow/sleet KSAV last four mornings had very hard freezes with these lows: 19, 21, 22, and 25. Another freeze is expected tonight with upper 20s. This long stretch of hard freezes isn't something seen often way down here. The last time was five years ago. I (and my Sago Palms) am actually looking forward to some warming, especially feeling that it will likely not be a long lived torch but rather just an interlude of mild. I enjoy the volatility of winter overall as long as a good amount of cold/very low dewpoints is included. It is so much more interesting than the dog days of summer. What an up and down month with first half torch and last half brrrrr. It will go down in the books as near normal, but that's deceptive as there wasn't much normal about it when you break it into halves. As of today, the month has averaged almost dead on normal! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted December 28, 2022 Author Share Posted December 28, 2022 Low of 25. So the last 5 mornings have been 17, 18, 17, 21, and 25. Very impressive cold wave. Looks like this morning will be the last time we see 20's for a good while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yotaman Posted December 29, 2022 Author Share Posted December 29, 2022 Forecasted low was 33, we dropped to 28 making this our 6th morning below 30. High hit 63 before the sea breeze dropped us back down into the 50's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Sharp contrast in airmass here (and in the SE overall) vs 48 hours ago, when it was 59/27. Now it is a somewhat sticky 73/60. I'd enjoy 73/45 much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gman Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We are already up to 3.20” of rain just since midnight, and it looks like the worst is still west of us. In looking at the radar, the front seems to be moving extremely slow toward the east, with the thunderstorms training toward the north and northeast. Am I seeing it correctly? If so, that is a scary and dangerous scenario for the Upstate of S.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
