Wintry 1/26-1/28 Winter Storm Potential

Only time of the year I eat popcorn.
 
This timeframe the ensembles are our best friends. Globals will jump a ton but what we need to look for over the next 24-48 hrs is more ensemble support.

So far over the last 24hrs the gefs and eps are both slowly picking up on a coastal threat, many are now showing a more classic Miller A style storm. We want to see this continue today and tomorrow.

One eps member is a january 2000 repeat for Central NC.

Here is the latest gefs run at 06z. See the obvious LP off the NC coast? That is a big improvement on the gefs over the last 4-6 runs and is the trend we want to see

I'm going to be greedy. Bring this NW! If the run verified I'd me happy since another storm comes 3 days later. I'm sure it'll still be a good show for many and look the Midlands of SC get the goods too!
I am sure it will come NW just a tad. It always does by 50-100 miles.
 
And this might be me just grasping at straws here, but if there’s anything I’d be concerned about in GA regarding the FV3, it’s BL temps. I suppose based on the initial track of the low, there would be a little WAA.

I know it’s only 1 run & temps are always gonna be iffy around here.

Yeah globals wont get remotely “reliable” until Tuesday. By then it’ll be in that 144-160hr range when globals become more stable.

But good trends on ensembles and nice to see an OP model throw out a good hit.

Pretty cool to see a full hemispheric trough/low over the arctic...the cold is going to push really far south.

Whenever I see that it makes me think of that little event that occurred in March in the early 90's. Most people probably don't remember, especially the ones living in at Atlanta. Yeah, I know this isn't a TP but still.

A nw trend hopefully happens. But not enough of one to bring in waa. I’d like it to be a board wide snow

I remember the "storm of the century", if that's what you are referring to. Quite the storm for sure.

Just a little bit of cross-polar flow showing up there.
 
EPS snow mean jumped from 0z run.

Man I hate that color scale. Sometimes it’s easy to forget that’s a 50 member mean. Let’s try and keep this party barge sailing in the right direction for the rest of the day

as a former resident of Nashville/Memphis/Birmingham, the upcoming storm potentials look promising for the Mid-South
(Nashville is due for a major snowfall)
not sure about the I-85 corridor from ATL to GSP to GSO but I think its too early to discuss mesoscale
rooting for a MGM-MCN-CAE-ILM crush!
 
Looking at the maps of the cross polar flow Kylo shared, how long could the cold from this last? Would this also help.pump up the ridge out west even more?
 
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen snow all the way to Tifton keeping me from having to go back to school nxt Monday. It won’t happen like that but I like the trends in the models hits a lot of people who haven’t and probably never will see that much snow in their lifetime with a big storm.

Awesome to see the FV3 on board. It did great with the December storm. The GEFS continues to increase totals, too. This really looks like a legit threat. I am a believer now. Let's reel in this bad boy.
