Both threats are very much alive and well despite the surface output not looking great on a lot of the models. A lot of things would have to go wrong for us to not see anything.

I am sticking to 3-5 days out analysis when the W Pac buoy data gets ingested into the models. No sense even lookig at the LR models now until Jan 2. Now is the time when the Euro and GFS will lose the storms or they get squashed by supression or some other model performance stunt as this is beginnning of a really major upcoming pattern change  The 0z run on Thursday morning might show what will really happen going into this new pattern. Anything on the models now is just where the pattern is leaning. The cold temps after this pattern gets set in is what concerns me. I see a huge CAD event aiming for us  toward the 20th time frame in our area as these LP's are finally  to form along the SE Texas coast as stated in an earlier post with the deep cold and a potential deep snow pack in place.  I do not like ice storms like 94.

Salt shortages may become an issue again by mid February if this cold pattern stays put  This potential salt situation reminds me of the TP hoarding syndrome  in 2020 with COVID. A lot of salt will be needed with the cold temps in place unlike previous years. Many municipalities will be ordering more salt which will become problematic as these same municiplaities will be ordering the salt at the same time. Be prepared for long lines at the car washes on sunnier warmer days and salt  being gone at places like home depot.

This situation with the deep cold/snow pack  is exactly what I stated several months ago that would occur when I said the La Nina was weakening going into a neutral pattern.  Many posters disagreed. I go by past weather history patterns and events , not just modelology. All it takes is  a major pattern change and that is coming next week. The drought conditions are finally but slowly starting to relax now has ralso eally demonstrated this weakening LA Nina pattern too as this new pattern neutrality will eventually break the current drought by the end of Feburary.

I know we were told not to read the models at this range (^^^) but we are closing in on a SECS for parts of the region for Monday-ish. ICON shifted the heaviest banding precariously close to the region. Upper levels are beginning to trend favorably with better confluence, better.nao position, and a better positioned and strength 50/50.

Buckle up.

Buckle up.

As suspected the 12z GFS presents it's suppressed version....big snows all the way down in NC....

GFS has been all over the place. Euro and ICON have been steadfast. Not saying either is correct, just noting. 

Truth! I always expect suppressed GFS runs with any potential east coast events. I suspect it comes north again at 18z but book another suppressed version like this one by Thursday or so...

We don't want to be too suppressed like this run shows correct? I mean a little bit and theres plenty of time to tick north. Too much makes it look it a complete miss. 

CMC shows a no miss for 1/6 As does the UKIE

When you needed a euro north trend and it goes 50 miles south

That 12z Gfs run was gross. Fridgid and pretty bone dry

UKMET schooled the others once last winter if I remember right, uncle ftw

 

The chances this 12z run of models is the actual solution.....slim and none!

Yep! Just the ebb and flow of each model OP run is what makes everything interesting.  Still 6 days away from this and The guidance is telling me is a lot better than each OP run. No need to jump after one failed run.

49f a few downpours.  Thunderstorms rotating up from the South to due north wild!!!!

We have thunder here. 

 

Wind here at the surface at the moment is out of the North but thunderstorms are heading due south to north interesting. 

Pretty dynamic set up if you ask me.

Also, models are completely clue less of what to do beyond say next 1-3 days let alone a week out.

This dynamic storm here tonight will have a lot to say as to what confluence is set up.

Several thunderstorm warnings down south so we may be in for something pretty good.. 50 f.
