Now that’s the type of cold high I’m talking about!The end of the CMC run brings in the Siberian cold.

That line of storms in Alabama right now apparently means business. Possible brief tornado touchdown near Bessemer which is just about 10 miles southwest of Birmingham.
wow...

Lol I saw Spanns post and said the same thing
This puppy is pretty potent.. here in CHA: 46 degrees, heavy rain/fog and gusts to 40.
I can only speak for the Charlotte area, but late December and early January were not the only times we saw winter weather in the ‘98-‘99 winter. We had the Christmas Eve Ice Storm that ended with some light snow on Christmas morning, another Ice/Sleet storm right after the new year, then in February we had a ULL that brought several inches of thunder snow, another light snowfall a few days later, and then another snowfall in mid-March

Lawdy at the pouring rain going on this morning.
It is serious out here! Getting torrential wind driven rain, just gusted near 30mph.
Well that cold front sure brought gusts with it last night! What a squall line. There were scattered power outages a few miles north of here from that weather. At least we're back down to more December like weather, at 46 this morning.
Hmmm 
40 and rain in Gatlinburg this morning with the river roaring. Nothing like a Crocketts breakfast to warm you up.
Ahhh, elevated wintertime QLCS, so much shear, stuff rotates, but can’t punch the ground ??

Still focusing on big picture down the road going into January prime time. Decent look on GEFS. Can't see EPS, but -AO still looks solid, perhaps an east based -NAO. Vortex seems to be dropping out of AK region and replaced with ridging.
Not bad, but hoping it doesn't set up with the trough in the west.

Temperature dropped like 10 degrees in an hour.

Lol here we go again
Starting to hear some thunder what a great morning to be working from home. Also I notice 50+ mph winds about 2-3k ft up, any wind reports with any of these cells this morning? Assuming not able to mix down
Front crashed through. Down to 52F from 61F at 8:30
Looks like I'll be under southwest flow aloft today, so that Gulf moisture, along with good CAA closer to the surface, should keep the temps from really warming from where they are now. Still sitting at 46 with overcast skies and a good northerly breeze.
The GFS has some snow showers on Christmas for AL/GA/TN. 
The neighborhood wunderground station observed a 3F drop in 7 minutes between 7:46-7:53AM as well as an 11F drop in 67 minutes 7:46-8:53
Not happening. If Pennsylvania gets two feet of snow I bet this system trends wintery further south.
Eastside of Spartanburg
Sleet coming off the mtns now! Wilkes/Surry. Watch out piedmont maybe north of Winston?
That video is from earlier this morning in Sparta.
Slick as ****. Above freezing and warm road but sleet is ice! ?
Loaded diaper ??
I really like that look, wow, ridging towards the NW territories combined with a -NAO could send a TPV flying towards us, and there’s just this lonely southern stream wave, I can see that working out

That WAR though....keeps fighting against cold.
At some point though in late December to early January, I just get the feeling the hounds will be released. It's like we're teetering on the edge.

It looks good from around Christmas onward. I hope we can hang onto that -NAO. That is a big plus for snow in this part of NC.

Yup; that's more or less what happened with the super weenie fantasy run the other day. Big lobe of the TPV pushed down and caught a southern stream piece at just the right time.
In terms of realizing that down the road: the trends with the TPV are notably improving in the medium range. Note the shift more eastward towards Hudson Bay instead of NW Canada. This + improved high latitude blocking (-NAO improving in the above gif too; these two trends are closely related) helps the lobe stick around for a little bit, which sets up the number of close calls you're seeing in the longer range.
This pattern just smells like overrunning 
Yes please....
Temp back up to 58 lol this is a fun rollercoaster
