I knew you would like this setup! Gulf low after gulf low for the next 14 days. Throw some sub zero 850's in from the north and someone in the southeast is going to score big time! If this continues in to January, we are all going to get in on the action, I think.Bring it, we need it
8 inches around ATL, wow.Persistent SW'ly flow of Gulf moisture will set up heavy rains next weekend. Canonical super El Niño look with the active subtropical jet.

We can only hope it verifies.8 inches around ATL, wow.
You go from a lot to almost nothing pretty quickly. It will be interesting to see what verifies.
I was just thinking it looks like a set up for the rare, for Ga., Dec surprise. Moisture going by underneath, and lobes of cold air dropping in. Timing is rare, so Dec ip/sn are rare, but rare does happen from time to time to confound us all, lol. Edit: My point forecast for Tues night is only 2 degrees off the coldest I saw last year. I hope that bodes well for the rest of the winter, and not like those early Dec pellets that become the only frozen I'd see for the year. 30 pellets after Tday, and that's it for the winter. That sucks.I knew you would like this setup! Gulf low after gulf low for the next 14 days. Throw some sub zero 850's in from the north and someone in the southeast is going to score big time!

If it behaves like the last few El Niños, we will see the globals want to trend to suppress things south in the mid range and then trend back north the closer in. Warm SSTs in the Gulf and a juiced up STJ should amp these systems up.37 degrees this morning! Feels like old times! GEFS still looks good for a ton of rain over the next week and a half, especially I-20 and south. Need to watch this for a suppression trend. The last four runs have been fairly consistent but 0Z went much farther south with the heaviest axis of rain.
I wouldn't fret yet, especially since the euro looks good stillThe 12z GFS is backing WAY OFF on rainfall this weekend in NC and SC up into VA. Most of us at .10 or less now. Look for the fires to make a big comeback early next week up in the mountains.
