February 19-20 Major Winter Storm Threat


 Share

Recommended Posts

I feel like once we get a sampling and real time data as this piece of energy forms in the real world it will trend back north west/hopefuly juice back up. We really want it to slow down and juice up. I’m not throwing in the towel yet, either way in my back yard it shows 4-6 inches in Roanoke. Be nice if we could get the 2 feet that was there yesterday lol but I’ll never complain about snow and cold that sticks around a few days.

This is just and observation and not any sort of discussion but I love how the Canadian breaks out cold smoke over the Carolina’s as the coastal is pulling away as the ULL with the NS energy is passing by. Would be a nice way to end the event though very unlikely

One of the best ways to learn imo is to study wx maps of storms of the past as well as station data and indices (like MJO, PNA, AO, NAO, EPO) to get a good idea for each person’s area. The study of climo is fascinating to me. It takes time but is worthwhile if you have enough spare time.

Pretty far. There’s nothing in the upper levels preventing this from going OTS completely 

I was just going to say the same thing; this could trend to a FROPA.  For my sake, hopefully not.

Problem is - over the past few days, we’ve leaned back into some of our bad habits from this winter. Northern stream dominated energy instead of the juicy southern stream predictions yesterday and prior. It’s a completely different storm in that regard and that cold press is stronger and stronger with each model run. There’s certainly a benefit to the latter - you get less WAA, but you also play a dangerous game of watching it vanish. I remember the gulf coast storm originally being a lower Tennessee valley event.

It’s funny because every storm is different but seasonal trends oftentimes win out.
