I'm actually surprised the front is going to pass completely dry. Usually these 25+ degree drops squeeze out some snow.  It's 40 here now and I'm supposed to get down to 12 tonight.

Was 50° yesterday here, 39° today, 18° tonight. Tomorrow is showing a 47° day, 17° night. Big swings. Heating system ~loooooves~ it.

Using the Knoxville station to extrapolate, Tri would have been brutally cold several years in the 1880s-1920ish. Also in the early 40s. 

Kingsport might have some uncorrupted data(hand written and archived online) from that time as it was easily the biggest of the Tri-Cities at the time.

Where can I find TRI's top coldest Januarys or is it something I just need to hand crunch?  January 1985 was -8.8F.  77 was -14.3.  82 was -5.3.  94 was -5.2. 10 was -5.3.  I am in a rush, so those are the ones I can think of for Januarys in my lifetime which are cold.  That "could" put this January in the top 3 for the past 50 years.  I'd have to go back and look pre 70.  Double digit departures for January I wouldn't think would be that common, but maybe they are?  The other thing.....current departures might not be the same as departures from several years ago.  With the new norms...it is easier to go well below normal IMHO.  Back then, it took some work.  

I don't think this will approach a top snow month at all...just looking at temp departures...sorry, I should hav specified that.

'77-78 along with '39-40 and '69-70 should be in your top 5 with '76-77 number 1 in the past 100 years. '62-63 . '57-58 and '59-60 probably top 10 with one of those maybe rounding out the top 5 bunch. All just off top of my head as lost my Records Years back in a moving process unfortunately.

Looking into the long range and appears the cold streak maybe even an outbreak over the Deep South around the 20th to the 30th of Jan. This  is obviously reflected within the latest CPC 6 to 10 Day and 8 to 14 Day temperature outlook. With that being said, there are some questions on whether or not that moisture will be present across the Deep South for another winter storm. 

Long range models have been struggling very mighty when it comes to showing any moisture present over the Deep South in the coming weeks. This very apparent when looking at the PWAT values across the region with the GFS and EURO model guidance. However, that has not stopped the models from showing some sign of wintry precip to occur pending model run with both the GFS and EURO data over the last couple of days. 

As for their ensemble counterparts, they are trending towards the drier side as both GFS and EURO ensembles are showing below average precip for Day 8 to Day 14. While the CPC does suspect for precip to near or below average for Day 6 to Day 10, the below average precip does does slightly overlap into Day 8 to Day 14 temperature outlook. This will be interesting to watch and see how this plays out in the next several days. 

Given what I see personally, there is high uncertainty for winter storm to progress across the Deep South as of now. Granted this is roughly week or so away so things can and will likely change. However, it is something to watch for over the next several days to see how the models play out. In no way I am saying that there will be or will not be a winter storm. I am just saying that there is high uncertainty given the model guidance and data trends at the moment.

It looks similar to the last system to me 

It could end up in Indiana before the trend is over.  I think probably suppression is our greatest enemy for this one, but seeing a system jog from Jacksonville to Columbia(SC) to Knoxville.  Those are BIG moves in three consecutive runs.  If there is no block, it could easily cut.

12z GFS went back south. Mobile to Atlanta to Charlotte is where the precipitation axis is. It could be underestimating the precipitation shield on the NW side but obviously we are not there yet to worry about. However I’m good with that run. It keeps us in play.

Sneaky system this weekend could be a surprise.IMG_1715.thumb.png.65a3e850e6749dbb422923e93f8dd4cb.png

Threat for next week looks icy for someone that's for sure.  I think the  ice threat is very very high with this setup with such a strong CAD push. The GEFS has a lot of really flat NW precip shields. Thin snow streak at the extreme northern edge but a huge ice shield.

Euro was tasty.

The Euro is going to be close to what the GFS showed. I think the HP is too strong on all models currently, 1050 shows up often but rarely verifies over Missouri.

I was thinking the same thing. No way that HP verifies. That has to be good of us though, seeing how the GFS has the storm to our south and east. Just hope it doesn't weaken too much and trend too far north.
