Yes it does, but the 6z gfs this morning kinda looked interesting for that period now lol
 
I don't understand why they can't program the models to show warm rain in the LR, instead of all these fantasy Cold shots and winter threats.  They'd be far more accurate.  Just hard code them to show past day 5 the farthest extent of the cold press 600 miles to the northwest and have every system cut toward the Lakes.

Great shot of cold coming but good lord the torch coming after toward ?? is gonna be big it appears.
 
I'm talking post like D10 but models have been bouncing all over. Looks like JMA prob right toward Christmas.
 
Euro is showing ice now for here Monday into Tuesday. I guess the good thing is we are seeing threats show up on the models inside 10 days. It looks like the weekend threat is gone, but now we have an ice storm threat for Monday into Tuesday of next week. A lot better seeing these threats show up versus nothing at all. Hopefully, things will work out and some of them will come to fruition.

Hard to believe isn't it???  Don't know if I'm drinking that Kool-Aid
 
Is the arctic air going to miss us early next week?  I notice that places like Minneapolis are forecast to be colder with the arctic airmass coming in late next weekend than the one this week. Meanwhile, we may have highs in the 30s this week but our forecast highs for early next week look pretty seasonal.

Yea I am not ready to get that crazy but the 6z GFS did lean toward the Euro with some ice on the front end of the system next week so it has a little support. Just saw the 0z Canadian....better buy a generator lol

It looks like the brunt of next week's cold slides more East than South only giving us the fringe ... for now anyway

If you like warm, the 06z GFS has your name written all over it.

it's not really warm at all . of course post day ten has a day at 66 but it's post day ten, evem that would be short lived as a cold front is on the door step . in fact , except for a couple days the temps in Atlanta are fairly close to normal for this time of year .  if you average the next ten days atlanta would average a couple degrees below normal

Re: December Discussion

12z gfs has light ice for cad regions Saturday . high is moving offshore , timing will be the issue

Re: December Discussion

gfs is beating back the ridge in the medium range thanks to a bigger cold push

just some slight differences in the 12z gfs vs 06z for next week. 12z gfs H5 pattern is much closer to the 06z gfs para

very changeable pattern next week with multiple systems, certainly no torch

Crazy how consistent (rather it happens or not) the models favor ice over snow for our winter storms that fail to happen. Don't like this pattern at all think it will take a major pattern change to fix this. Anything before Christmas just doesn't scream snow to me at all!

good thing we realistically don't expect snow and ice in December. This actually isn't a completely horribpe pattern . it's serviceable for your area and certainly not a torch pattern

So the Euro, Canadian, and GFS are all showing something to watch for next Monday/Tuesday now?

it's an interesting system as there will be cold air around. would just depend on timing of the cold moving  out and the moisture moving in

I just keep thinking about Dec 2010. I remember there were a couple of threats that showed up on the models that didn't pan out before we got the big storm on Christmas. This feels really similar to what happened then.
 
Lets not forget that December 2010 was also a moderate El Nino.  This year is quite different.
