Pattern December, Make analogs relevant again

How is it jumbled up ? We are talking in general about the rest of December . There could be multiple opportunities for winter weather. It’s really not that hard to follow

If we didn’t keep the discussion here we would have at least three different storm threads going at one time. That would be more chaotic then having it in one general thread until we get closer to each of these events happening. Chances are by tomorrow or Monday we will have a storm thread for the 28th-29th storm.

It would probably make the most sense to start a January thread given the 2nd threat is in January

The dew point maps for KINT/KGSO are sick. During the storm the dew point goes no higher than 17 and starts as low as 3, ouch!

It really depends on the strength of the CAD. I brought up about January 2005 last night. We started off in the mid 30s with sleet and spent most of that event in the mid to upper 20s. However, even a weak CAD definitely affects the immediate Atlanta metro area. It doesn't always guarantee wintry precipitation here, but the likelihood is very high. It doesn't even have to be the Winter season, I can't count the number of times CAD has saved Atlanta's butt a lot in severe weather outbreaks also.

EDIT: I think the HP in the January 2005 ice storm was only in the 1020s or 1030. If we have a 1030 or higher HP anchored to our NE, it'll most likely get the job done down here. Anyone know a good website to find archived surface analysis maps from that month/year. It was an end of the month storm, I think around 28th-29th. I know it started on a Friday afternoon and went through all of Saturday.

You are correct bc I went to work that Sunday and ice was every where.
 
Starting to see a trend in models that might give me a dusting for Christmas. That would be a good way to get things started.
 
I was a junior in high school during the 2005 ice storm and vividly remember it being extremely cloudy with temps in the upper 30's most of the day preceding the event before the main precipitation moved through during the night.
 
As long as the hp is 1030+ the cad regions will do well and most models are pushing a 1040ish. With dew points forecast in the teens for most there will be places where sleet and snow will pile up. Then farther south down the cad regions freezing rain and sleet will be treacherous. As long as the wave doesnt come in too strong with a ton of warm air we will be good.
