He said this wasn’t happening either the day before he got stuck https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1_Tahv7raKk

I’m not saying it’s gonna snow Friday , it’s just funny . He’s. Great severe weather guy probably one of the best in the southeast . But he is horrible when it comes to winter weather

I predict with confidence based on history that this late week upper low will give the ATL-AHN corridor very little or nothing. This is more of a far N AL and far NW GA potential. The only reasonable hope is for MAYBE some flurries/snow showers mainly on the NW side of ATL (Cobb) with a small chance for little to likely no accumulation. These types of systems almost always disappoint those in the ATL-AHN corridor who put much hope into them. ATL peeps would be best off if they would consider the models/just punt the rest of the month and not get their hopes up (at least for anything more than something very minor at best) and instead hope for something of significance in J, F, or M. I think the chance for either a 1.5”+ SN/IP from a Miller A or 0.50”+ ZR from a Miller B or a Miller A in the ATL-AHN corridor (or a combo in a portion of the area) at some point in J, F, or M is about 2/3 per longterm ENSO climo.

Down here in my area, the chances this winter of 0.5”+ SN/IP or 0.25”+ ZR as is the case in most winters are very low. Of the ~29 weak to low end moderate El Niño winters since 1876-7, SAV had only 2 winters with wintry precipitation that met these limits: the late Feb 1914 major ZR with some IP and the incredible TWO pure snows of Jan 1977 (0.7” and 1.3”). So, I’m giving it about a 10% chance and even that’s probably a bit generous. SAV’s best chance per climo for all ENSO for any one period is in the 2nd to 3rd week in Feb although significant wintry has occurred anywhere from late Dec through the first week of March.

I try to tell everyone this. He's not even that good of a SVR WX forecaster....just a nowcaster. He's the best at what he's good at...which is the here and now...and with technology the way it is now days, most of general public can get the information quicker than he can relay it via TV.

He also makes very absolute statements about tropical systems that are not justifiable meteorologically and also end up being 100% wrong. I grew up with him guiding us through tornado outbreaks, and I appreciate what he does. He just needs to dial back the absolute statements.
WRT this Friday storm, he could say "as of now, there would likely be little to no impact if there are some flakes," rather than a flat "no impact."
 
My hopes are in next weekend storm, FV3 as bogus as it is with the clown map, it's been fairly consistent with showing this system like the Gfs for few days now. I don't see this just disappearing, FV3/Icon FWIW, Has this digging further south and bringing much more moisture further south into Alabama rain or snow vrs GFS. This is a "clipper" type set up to where it could either form a weak low in the northern gulf or just some rich wrap around moisture.

Yeah I have the same thoughts. The system type usually dries out by the time it reaches GA and I bet flurries won't make it out of N AL or TN, and the mountains in N GA may see a flurry or two. Nothing other than light rain or nothing at all will make it beyond them. If it happens to be moist enough, which the GFS as unreliable as it is, shows, there could be what you said, just flurries. I'm going to wait until I see a real potential to get excited which seems will come later into late Dec at the earlier, but more likely Jan.

I’m hoping a surprise low In northern gulf. To put more people in play

The GFS/FV3 is trending colder but without Euro support, I don’t feel so good about it. I could punt though but what’s the fun in that? :p

One thing I have learned about snow in the south is if Spann says it's not gonna happen you better be prepared to be snowed in.
