That's just what you want to see to get a big winter storm in the SE. And the trajectory of the high pressure zone is right on.
Reminds me of last January.
That’s not how this works and it never has lol. Better just suck it up and realize what it takes to get any type of winter weather in the south let alone snow. And plus it’s 12/11. Meteorological winter literally just started lol
Strength over the central CONUS looks good too at this time range on an ensemble mean. That could easily trend to 1040+ I imagine.
Similar yeah, that pacific evolution was from bad tilt Aleutian ridge that ended up cutting off, flow sped up under it, the a Aleutian low linked a western ridge and the cutoff ridge, all from progressing tropical forcing and +EAMT, just think if we scored with fast flow and solely +PNA/-EPO driven stuff, imagine slowed down flow from a remaining -NAO…
Yep those quick 1-4 inch events suddenly slow down and take their time to evolve and move out. If we had blocking with this storm below most would have scored more than 8 inches and possibly over a foot of snow. So much cold air and just a beautifully developed shield of snow.. only problem was it was in and out in 8 hours!
Yeah, it seems with the la nina(s) of the last three years we've had more of these quick hitters. Honestly, I would rather have these because they seems to come with more cold air (...at least at my location). I would rather have three inches with cold surface temps than six with warm surface temps.
