Time for the January thread. I think it’s 4th and long and we are in punt formation.

I don't understand the lack of excitement?I was just wondering if anyone sees the potential that seems to be unfolding with the storm thursday and Friday... every run seems to be stronger and a little farther south,I know the model temperature profiles at the lower levels are bad, but this is the most likely area the models are most likely to underestimate in a impressively dynamic storm. This storm has much faster moving parts than the week storm that slid along the GOM last week. Instead of err to the cold side with cold air already in place, they tend to err to the warm side with intense storm with cold air flooding in to a warmer environment.
Well ICON says keep hope alive I guess for some FWIW. I'd like to see what it looks like within 60 hours of the NAM. However, maybe with the closed low and some dynamics in play places in TN/N AL/ into maybe NW GA and far N GA could be in play for something. Like what has been said though low level temps to surface are a concern right now with Global models. The NAM has been south with SLP 18Z had it near NOLA and 0Z has it there moving into AL, but it's extended so no idea where it goes from there.
Nice! 0z GFS data is coming in now, hopefully it will have the goods!

Yeah I'm praying and hoping things trend better and keeping an eye out on the future runs as well.. it'll be fun if this storm was to catch us off guard

We could always try a fake punt on 4th and long...after all, it worked out really well for UGA.

I’m more interested in the 27th to 28th time frame. That could be a minor CAD event.

Well, don’t understand how we have the 540 line so far south and wrapped into the system. But yet the 2m temps sucks.
I didn’t have much faith in this system. I guess we could learn from it.

If we weren't in this pattern, this might be interesting for some areas given that it seems to be a dynamic storm (def not really for Atlanta though), but given that the unreliable ICON is the only thing showing anything, I'm 95% at "nothing to see here, move along".
Honestly glad lol, kinda wish we were in a better pattern as if so, there probably would be some legit snow for me to look at after the storm while I'm up in the far northern part of the state, but this pattern isn't very good.

Yeah, I'm not too sure about the GFS thermodynamics. The 0z ICON did well with the dynamic cooling I was talking about earlier today.
FVS is a little more believable tonight. It had temps in the mid 30’s with snow. Just a little bit hope for some of us. 
Fv3 snowfall
Well, the 0z FV3 is colder, dynamic cooling going on. A good bit of people across northern AL/GA and TN could be in for a good wrap around snowfall. Also, things can trend colder and colder.

I think this system is be a little underestimated I really do think people in Mississippi North and central Alabama and parts of extreme north Georgia needs to pay attention to this because temperature can very well trend colder as we get closerWell, the 0z FV3 is colder, dynamic cooling going on.

First legit snowfall of the season for Alabama not out of the question because anything is possible
This is the IR simulation (GFS) you can see colder cloud tops behind low. This is an indication of convection, if this holds up, there would be good snowfall rates. Maybe 1/2" to 1" an hr or more.

@WxWatch I think we should reel this storm in I'm 80 percent confident that this storm will surprise some of the deep South by FridayThis is the IR simulation (GFS) you can see colder cloud tops behind low.

WELL HERE IS THE 0Z GFS-FV3 AND IT IS NOW HINTING AT SOMETHING.. THIS IS NOT A TROPICAL TIDBITS EITHER

This is why my confidence level is 80 percent for this upcoming storm after seeing this

@RollTide18 looks like this system is getting better even for Montgomery

Good night of runs for sure, well from the FV3 and ICON, the OG GFS and Euro are not on board which is preventing me from get too excited. That said, definitely can’t wait until this gets until the NAM’s range.

Some really poor meteorology going on in this thread!

Well if there no snow. I wouldn’t mind that. Kinda nice to be able to work in the yard like today. I actually mowed/mulched all the leaves in the yard and was a very nice day for December.
IM not far from you
. if you just want to get out and do something then you can come and cut my leaves up
HERE IS THE 00Z EURO IR SAT. HRS 72-126

Nice way to start the day right there... the second half of December is turning into a dumpster fire. ?

For those of you still holding out hope for this system the gefs is trending away form anything other than a few flurries and looks very close to the eps now . There is a reason the EPS is the top scoring ensemble set

Don’t takeaway their big letdown that is coming.

I will say from what I saw on the EPS yesterday or last night, the PAC is starting to look better

Yeah, nice to see aleutian low get going. Scandi ridge with newfoundland low is nice too.

To be honest, I am happy with what I got with the storm last week, and anything else this winter would be a bonus. After getting 9.5 inches of snow with that storm, I'm really not expecting much else this winter anyway. Really, how often do we get more than one big storm like that here? Seems like we might get two or three legit shots at snow in my area, and usually only one shot at most with what would be considered a big storm.

RDU officially had 7", so that's the 2nd 6"+ storm for Raleigh in the calendar year. Probably hasn't happened often. And I know multiple 6"+ storms in a single winter season is rare. So yeah, odds say our best storm of the winter may be behind us but I would happily take a 2-4" event.
