Well, look, we all know the typical disclaimers, but it's not often that the GFS, Euro and CMC agree on the overall idea of a southern winter storm in the 4-5-day range. I'm not saying it's a lock or anything, but I think a little bit of excitement is definitely in order.

Yep, next run it will indeed! This is about the time the GFS starts it's slow decent into the dark abyss of stupidity ( day 4 or 5 GFS loses it usually) devilsmiley.gifbut enjoy it because this will be the last time you have that calm feeling that it is going to snow, until 48 hrs before the storm when it brings it back to this solution!Snowman.gif It has happened every winter storm for the last 2 years in these parts! If i were in SC, GA I would start seeing how much a generator cost, and

keeping an eye on this storm because it's impact on you guys could be historic and not in a good way!devilsmiley.gif

The purdy canadian maps show basically the same SN/ICE lines as the GFS. In fact, there's heavier snow deeper into SC on the GGEM.

Thats surprising with the more miller b look. Its got one low going up into eastern kentucky, I would think that should almost guarentee too warm for snow east of the apps but what do I know :arrowhead:

It must suck living on the coast and wanting to see snow....I wouldn't do it .....BUT.....you get really nice beaches to visit and great front row seats to some tropical weather. It's not totally bad!!! :guitar:

True :lol: It can be difficult when I'm the only one from this region on here, but there is nowhere else to go to ask about winter wx for this area lol.

Here is a sounding just NW of Mobile Alabama

I'm w/ tnweathernut. A Miller B is energy that slides in the northern stream, jumps to the coast, and bombs out around the MA. Correct? This is more like a piece of energy running up west of the Apps and another piece getting sent into the Piedmont. Major set-up in the making. QueenCityWx, will that stay cold enough in the TN Valley or does a warm nose accompany that energy up west of the Apps?

Green never enters TN...there is some yellow down around Tullahoma and the border counties to the east.

You may be right Im not sure on the exact definition was just refering to the double low structure. It should be watched which low trends stronger in future runs, if the inland one ends up stronger it will really screw things for everyone really.

Right now the GGEM is the only one even really showing this so not too worried about that happening yet...

If anything it is a hybrid... If we were talking a true A there would be dominant RN-SN p-types, with quick transitions. In this case, there has been immense talk, as well as model support, for a sig swath of ZR and IP which suggests a non-typical southern stream Gulf low interacting with a northern stream vort, yielding a weak surface reflection in E TN that than transfers to the area of lp left meandering off the SE coast.

Miller B is coastal redevelopment off a warm front. Miller A is a low which rides up the baroclinic front

May not be following you on this one Queencitywx...We may be talking apples and oranges here, but the 108hr map has dark green over NE TN and yellow over middle. Ok, I'm sure I'm not getting the point. Might need some help on this one. Thanks in advance.

Look man, I dont know what you're not understanding here. I dont give a crap what some snowfall map shows, you arent getting snow with +7C 850 temps in FLORIDA.

I'm glad you don't live on the coast....'cause I sure wouldn't want to hear what a four or five days away hurricane couldn't do...all based on the GFS.

Point being obviously...it's a bit irritating to see people acting like any model (much less the GFS) is so frigging almighty at this range.

It's fun...it's exciting...but crimany...let's not act like we know everything.

First of all, get your facts straight. We were discussing the ECMWF and not the GFS. Secondly, I'm 100% right, it will not snow in Florida or Colorado or Maine or even Siberia with 850 temps of 7C. This simply isnt the sort of event that will bring snow to the gulf coast, it's pure pattern recognition more than looking at a model.

whoa now.. this is all based on the 12z Euro. It obviously isn't showing anything close to a snow profile in Florida. That's is not to say that it won't snow at all, though the odds are stacked against it as it seems now.
