ne Tex. southern Ark, to near LA border is getting hit hard with snow at 102. This is a ton of moisture and lift in the lower miss. Valley. Would be nice to see that translate northeast.

1004 low near New orleans , big snowstorm southern ark, northern central Miss into central Ala to Atlanta (light so far in ATL) The vortex has pulled out of the northeast and the tilt of the strong trough in Louisaiana looks aimed to come inland to the Southeast.

@120 it's looking a lot like the Christmas storm, low is over Pensacola.

The qpf is going to be phenomenal I think for most of Miss, Ala and Ga. I-20 takes a major beating with mostly snow unlesss somehwer e in there sneaks in sleet (Tony?) the low is south of Mobile and weakening thanks to the confluence. Snow reachs southern NC but so far its not heavy like in GA.

Only colder, the 0c line is south of KCHS on the front end to start with HP nosed on down.

Interesting temp wise, I've been looking at this threat as a no go for CHS because I figured temps would be much too warm but it seems like the Euro is giving us hope storm. What do you think.

Like Burger mentioned, this is the Christmas storm track. but much colder everywhere. Its precip shield is mainly south of 40, but I think its being a little too far south, just my opinion, as most Gulf storms are further north than shown at 3 to 5 days out, we'll see. Regardless, the temps are going to be there, much of the Deep South gets a big one from this, and the qpf and lift is probably maxed from northern louisiana to northern /central Miss-Ala-Ga where the whole section could top 6" with no problem. I woudlnt' be surprised to see southern Arkansas or some spots overa foot with this setup.

At 132, the low is stalled off the GA coast, still snowing in Carolinas and GA.

Does this run mirror the Feb. 12th storm that buried anyone along I-20 in Georgia and SC? What it sounds like to me more than the Dec. 26th storm.

Still pretty much there at 144 also with QPF still as far back as N.GA.

KCHS has been concerned about boundary layer temperatures at the surface since Monday with regards to freezing rain (already has been in the forecast for the past 2 days) and the uncertainties. This run of the EURO so far supports a sleet/snow beginning at least at 120 hours for most of SC with the 0c line south of SC at least to start. waiting for the PBP from 120 hours on until the 144 hour updates at Plymouth

Why is the GFS and now EURO showing it stall off the coast, I know the Euro stalls it further south but they both seem to stall?

this is an excellent track and setup, perfect for the Classic 1980's snowstorm that used to happen occassionally. We really havent' had that setup , we almost did last season, but the temps didn't cooperate much on a widespread basis like this. I'd prefer to see it s moisture further north, but there's plenty more time for that. Its hard to see the strong s/w shrink out like that but it is stronger and for a longer trip , once again like the Christmas storm was. The trends have all been great, and Its looking like the questions now will be how much snow. It could be one for the books in places like Jackson Birmingham Atlanta and Columbia, and someone in between will be shoveling lots of sleet.

144 hours, temperatures warmed at 850mb Coastal and Inland Coastal sections of South Carolina which IF SFC boundary layers are still below freezing could mean a major problem, starting from snow/sleet to ZR and potentially lots of it if the 850mb verify too warm and SFC boundary layer temperatures remain or go below FRZ on this run.

No, we need our snow down here. Hopefully we all get it.
