@jaxjagman East Asia rule?

Not sure,i always use the Koreas for us,Japan is basically the east coast and East China is basically west of us.But there is also other teleconnection that wont correlate 1:1.But the maps i show is a trough into Mongolia,which could be a -PNA and heights built up into East China which could possibly be a ridge into the Southern Plains and then you look at the EPS and its very similar.I'm just using these maps as a example +8 days

12z ensembles are incredibly cold from the 16th onward.  I think we have a good chance of someone scoring around that timeframe...and about ten days from when it thundered to boot.  I am noticing the storm track push further and further south as well.   Those cutters may become Apps runners or inland runners with time.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Nashville TN
1203 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Updated at 1200 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

- Scattered light rain showers through 9 PM tonight.

- Very active weather pattern over the next week, with several
  chances for rain across Middle TN, but no winter or severe
  weather expected at this time.

- Rises on area creeks and rivers will become possible by next
  weekend, with 5 to 7 inches of rain forecast through the next 7
  days.

.SHORT TERM...
(This afternoon through Monday Night)
Issued at 1200 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

The persistent zonal flow aloft continues today, and this currently
coincides with northeasterly surface winds across the Tennessee
Valley thanks to high pressure to our north. This setup is favoring
isentropic ascent across the region as a frontal surface aloft
resides across the I-40 corridor. As such, our clouds and
northeasterly flow are keeping temperatures on the cool side, and we
have light rain showers emanating from the west. I`ve increased PoPs
across Middle Tennessee through ~9 PM despite what will be very
little accumulation. A few sleet pellets will be possible as well,
but no impacts are expected. It looks to be another cold night
tonight with lows in the 30s, after moisture exits to our east.
We`re forecast to warm into the upper 40s to lower 50s tomorrow,
with help of a little sunshine breaking through in the afternoon. We
appear to remain dry tomorrow, but an elongated disturbance aloft
will begin to stretch from the Southern Plains toward the Tennessee
Valley tomorrow night into Tuesday morning. This system will lead to
a widespread soaking of rain as significant moisture transport occurs
aloft, overrunning a surface front just to our south.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday through next Sunday)
Issued at 1200 PM CST Sun Feb 9 2025

Rain chances will continue for beginning of the long-term,
associated with the system in the area on Tuesday, described above.
Flow aloft will become more southwesterly across the region as well.
Thus, after a brief reprieve from rain Wednesday morning, a
subsequent disturbance is forecast to move into the region Wednesday
afternoon as the parade of storm systems across the eastern CONUS
continues. Rain chances are quite high once again, and another
soaking of rainfall is expected into early Thursday morning. Our
latest storm total rainfall from Tue/Wed is generally 2-4", which is
doable considering we aren`t expecting any stronger convection which
would lead to higher rainfall rates. In fact, highest rainfall
amounts are south of I-40 which would benefit ongoing drought in the
region. Also, we still expect to stay above freezing throughout this
period, so we are not forecasting any wintry precipitation. This
appears to mainly impact our friends in KY. For the most part we`ll
remain situated between winter weather to our north, and stormy
weather to our south.

Mid- to upper-level flow will remain quasi-zonal configuration
toward the latter part of the period, after a shortwave departs to
our east on Friday. By this weekend, medium-range guidance continues
to suggest a notable disturbance to eject across the Southern
Plains, approaching our region Saturday afternoon into Saturday
night. This is currently depicted to contain a 100+ kt mid-level jet
streak and substantial height falls which will contribute to
cyclogenesis in the Tennessee Valley. All things considered, we`ll
have another widespread soaking of rain, and there`s potential for
thunderstorms as well. Given the parade of storms throughout the
week, this system could tip the scales into some flooding issues
across Middle Tennessee which we will continue to monitor and
message. Specifics from there are still to be sorted out, including
any stronger storm potential. At this time we`re not advertising
any, but this will certainly be a more dynamic system. Stay tuned to
the forecast.

Today’s Euro Weeklies for 2/10-16 has the largest area yet of 5”++ (its common to have largest anomalies in an ensemble mean when forecast lead time is shorter):

GFS looks even better towards High Knob:

The 19z HRRR is bringing in some mix(sleet) south of the TN line in NE TN.  Been a slow progression southward today.  Sneaky and pesky rain/sleet/snow line.

The 21z HRRR pulls the frozen precip line over the very northern edge of the Plateau early tomorrow morning.  Sleet mainly.  TRI...line held study w/ Sullivan getting some sleet yet again on that run.  The HRRR definitely has more frozen precip than other models, but.....it can be pretty good over this area.

GFS showing several inches of Snow/sleet for here. 7 inches progged for Wise. 2 inch line down to Claiborne County on 18z Run.  HRRR usually performs poorly here. Under does Snowfall Amounts here in Lee County 90% of the Time. Has a known warm bias from here down to Johns neck of the Woods.

Now actually full on sleet shower out there. Did not expect this, this far south. I wondered if it might with the dew points being so low, but figured I’d totally miss out on this one. Won’t be any accumulation but still kinda cool to get something out of it.
