Pattern December Dud 👀

[weather bubba]

Yeah i have to agree with most here, we have to watch this system around Christmas Eve.


Even without much on the precip fields on some guidance, you still have to be weary of freezing drizzle here with solid warm advection above the cad dome and temps within striking distance of freezing over the Piedmont. The fact that todays storm over performed a bit in the mid Atlantic makes me feel a little better about this potential threat as the air mass upstream may be a bit colder.

It is something to watch. The weather service isn't too bullish yet on anything happening except for a small chance of rain but if enough cold air gets trapped at the surface and the precipitation gets pushed a little further north, some of us might have some light icing in the trees to make the scenery look more like Christmas.
