BooneWX Posted Monday at 10:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:15 PM I recall a not so different look for the Valentine’s storm of 2014. That was an absolute crippler of a storm for western NC.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:17 PM How could so many of you in this group doubt the southeast ridge? Have ye no faith? What a year we’re having for folks to feel more confident in the cold press over the SER getting into position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted Monday at 10:31 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:31 PM The 18Z GFS tells us that this remains at least a potential close call for ~1/21! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted Monday at 11:28 PM Share Posted Monday at 11:28 PM Need ensembles to tick back up. Happy to still see the storm on some ops runs but a lot of the excitement last couple days was (I know the EURO and GFS mega storm runs reeled in a ton of folks) due to strong ensemble support for the timeframe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowmaker13 Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Share Posted yesterday at 12:30 AM Massive overrunning setup on the end of the GFS. Obviously there is somewhat of a storm signal at this range with a decent pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see another January 88 overrunning storm with an arctic front draped across the south. 14” of snow and temps in the mid teens. It was one for the ages. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The type of mean we were seeing at day 9/10 with the last storm Here are some comparisons between 1/10-1 as of 1/2 and possible 1/21-2 (11 days later) as of today (1/13): 1. 12Z EPS: 1/2 run for 1/10-11 1/13 run for 1/21-2: eerily similar in GA/SC and a bit more in NC 2. 12Z GEFS: 1/2 run for 1/10-11: 1/13 run for 1/21-2: significantly more N GA, N SC, and NC with ~same S GA and S SC 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted yesterday at 02:32 AM Share Posted yesterday at 02:32 AM Here are the op model surface low positions as of 1/1-3 runs for 1/9-10 that I saved. They all verified poorly since the actual track was much further NW than the models showed: 12Z 1/1 Euro 0Z 1/2 GFS 12Z 1/2 GFS 12Z 1/2 Icon 12Z 1/2 CMC 12Z 1/3 Icon 18Z 1/3 Euro-AI Some models shifted NW on 1/3. Then on 1/4 (6 days before the storm), just about all modeled well down into the Gulf tracks that gave SE coast significant wintry precip were abandoned as the NW trend continued, including in the ensemble means. So, that means the NW trend was strongest 6-7 days prior to the 1/10 storm. So, looking ahead to 1/21 and projecting similar timing, I’ll be looking to see if the far SE tracks giving significant coastal wintry are largely abandoned 6-7 days prior to 1/21 or on 1/14-5. So, by Wednesday we’ll see what happens. Could this time be different? Of course it could. What is different with this one? - More runs develop the low not til offshore the SE coast as opposed to mainly developing in the Gulf for the 1/10 storm. - A much colder Siberian high. For example, Chicago’s coldest preceding and during the 1/10 storm was only down to 14F. Progs for 1/20 are for 15-20F colder - Related to this, the surface high coming down is progged to maintain much stronger intensity just before and on 1/21. Most model runs at this forecast point had at best a rapidly weakening 1020s high to the N or NE of the 1/10 storm, which verified pretty closely. The Euro had even weaker with an Alberta clipper low to the north on many AI runs. Remember that? In stark contrast, the progged high to the north of the upcoming threat is mainly 1038-1045 or 15-20 mb stronger! - So, we’ll have to see how this evolves. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:33 AM 0Z Icon is significantly colder run vs runs from 12/24 hours ago. Coldest of season by far 1/20-1 and bone dry/no nearby surface low. Has lows on 1/21 of 10/9 at ATL/RDU! The plumbers would be busy! Minn/SPaul highs below 0F 1/19-20! Chicago barely gets above 0F on 1/20! Most of TN highs on 1/20 only in teens! Unlike those stupid cold Euro runs for last week, this frigid run actually seems possible due to Siberian high.
