Wintry 01/28-29/2022 Winter Weather Potential

What does Alabama Georgia and the upstate need to happen to get in on this storm or are we pretty much out of the game
Earlier phase near the gulf coast around LA/Miss would really help the upstate and NE GA. Right now it looks like we could get some backside snow showers. Still got time to see where this goes as the energies in question haven’t really been sampled yet. That’ll start to happen today and tomorrow.
 
I mean if you live in NC. You can’t help but love the consensus right now. Almost every ensemble member of both euro and Gfs are giving at least light snow events to central and eastern NC with many giving winter storm criteria snows as well .. the ones that really have us scoring I’ve noticed even take the NE out of the game .. looks like we are close enough to the phase for magic at this range .. now can we hold this look for multiple days until go time? Probably not lol
 
I'll take one of the two: Earlier phase in the GOM or just a Tighter Tuck to the NC Coast. The Tighter tuck by 50-100 miles would really beef up accums by itself off the euro and ens suite. If we get an earlier phase back toward Louisianna, even if it doesnt make it all the way back to LA per say. It still will mean a stronger storm as it passes our zipcodes riding up the coast. No gurantees, but 1 or both are easily doable.

Hopefully the GFs at some point Today/Tonight gets back on board and quits holding energy back. usual day 3-5 model handicap appears to be in play once again.
No doubt there's gonna be one more seismic bump as we draw closer to Thursday when all the players start appearing on the field of play ( conus)
 
Congrats everyone. After some solid 0z and 6z runs, we have regained about 90% of the ground we lost with that 18z suite. Lol. I know i was pretty adamant it was a blip and I still kind of think that but it’s taking a bit for the models to recover
Sometimes we get a blip even when coming back west #neverforget

Just like this system, the Boxing Day storm, as I recall, also relied on a piece of northern stream energy that dived into the trough, therefore amping and pulling it to the west. Models lost it as well before correcting just before go time.

Models have come a long was since then due too massive computing power but the data coming in is the same or worse due to COVID.

I think this statement applied for the 1st 6 months, but air travel is pretty much back to normal levels. +/- 15%
 
The EPS/GEFS are on top of each other...but I want to see these tick west a 100 miles the next 48 hours. When has these not shifted west and flipped us to rain.

I'm good if it stays right there on modeling until Thurs night
 
GFS has been trending back the past 2 runs, and it’s ensemble looks good
And they looked great up to 48 / 72 hours out on the Big sunday storm with the consensus showing the low still off the coast vs the Op's showing them inland.

And even then, we're still talking about 33 and 34 degree snows.
 
I mean some of us don't really want this to come to much further west lol. All joking aside, this really is close to being the bomb first advertised, next day or so of models after all data is sampled going to be fun

And then there's us over here who want this to charge west and get in on a big storm after so many fails this season. The coming days will tell what the answer is as the energy get better sampled and we verify different aspects that would make it one or the other, or a flop for both.

You want to trade spots for this one? ;) All jokes aside you may be in the sweet spot of NC on this one. I would like to see a phase in the GOM personally but that looks unlikely atm. I realize it can go either way at this time, but I do like your chances!
 
Man, this 500mb map looks complicated with all of the energy. The western energy is split on this run of the NAM compared to the last run. Makes me think there will be some different looking outcomes before we lock in on a final result.
