The SE may need a major SSW to help turn things around during the last few days of Feb. But in meantime, today’s Euro Weeklies are even warmer for Feb as a whole with some areas a whopping 7 AN, near the normal for Mar!

On Fri’s Euro Weeklies some of SE was as warm as 7AN for Feb (~normal for Mar). Today that warmest is only ~4AN with that all due to a warm 1st half. Today’s 2nd half has everyone N FL north near or slightly BN last half vs yesterday’s 2nd half being slightly AN everywhere.

That’s crazy. Look at Arctic sea ice. It’s going to blow the record low away, and it’s not going to be remotely close. I know there’s more to ice than just cold, but seeing record Arctic cold corresponding with a loss of sea ice is wild

Keep in mind that the oceans aren't just warmed from above.  Hoping some of that record cold arctic air makes its way to the Southeastern US to coincide with some moisture!

 In the interest of honest and open communication and to try to prevent any misinformation from being inadvertently spread, this is what I just posted in the La Niña thread after having just seen this here and initially being confused:

——————

The following tweet from “Heinrich Leopold” (tweeted at 3AM today) was posted a little earlier in the SE forum. I haven’t replied yet and just responded with a “confused” reaction.

 Since then I figured out what the Arctic record lows are (the chart below with the red line). This almost has to be showing stratospheric record lows (quite possibly at 10 mb), which I’d fully believe as I was just noting current near record high 60N zonal mean winds of 61 m/s at 10 mb.

Note his “natgas” tag by the way.

 I then saw this from him:

https://x.com/LeopoldHeinrich

It says he’s a chemical engineer rather than a met. This shows a lot of his tweets. I’ll let y’all read them and judge for yourselves.

——————————

 **So, to sum it up, there were nowhere near record Arctic low temps at the surface, which would make zero sense with Arctic ice near record lows as NorthHillsWx correctly stated very well. Instead, the record low temps are way up high in the strat over the N Pole, which has nothing to do with the surface. The Arctic surface temps are, indeed, WAY above normal!

 The warmup he’s referring to is a SSW of the record cold (for Feb 2nd) strat. But he communicated that in a very poor, misleading manner.

6Z GEFS:

 I count 7 of the 30 members with a widespread significant winter storm within 2/12-13 centered on much of NC/NW SC/NE GA. Many of these have a mix. In addition a few give far N NC snow within 2/10-11.

 Snowfall (10:1) mean that includes both periods:

GFS looks totally different than the Euro

Yeah, especially the AIFS, which almost has Miller A look to it. Looks like several more waves of energy behind the first part on GFS. I would expect some major back and forth the rest of this week to see how the models will key on all that energy and the overall evolution of each piece. I think the key will be where that frontal boundary ends up and if the high can get locked in a little longer in the NE.

So the Euro went more GFS like at 12z with an ICE Storm. 

12Z Euro is actually qpf wise for many here mainly a heavy rainstorm (with many temps getting well up into 40s to 50s/near 60) after a short period of snow and then a period of ZR

 Flooding from heavy rain could be the most noteworthy issue per Euro.

The 2/13 wave is of little interest to me at this point but I am intrigued by some of the looks showing up after that.  It takes a lot to get good stuff east of RDU in late Feb especially in the warmer base state, but I got a solid 2 - 3" back in late Feb 2020, which was a miserable +++AO torch year overall.
