Pattern Failbruary Thread

Another beautiful comfortably cool weekend here with plentiful sunshine, a nice breeze, and low dewpoints. It feels so good! Had an enjoyable walk last evening and am looking forward to an even better one later this evening with dewpoints in the 30s and temperatures a little later dropping into the high to middle 40s. Forecast low tonight is near 38, 6 BN. May sit out in the sun tomorrow or Monday..
 
- RDU is forecasted to get down into the low 20s, which would challenge the coldest of the MTD
- Hogtown: @pcbjr is likely going to get down to ~39, ~8 BN, with room to go down even more if the radiator works well enough. Dewpoint is a mere 29. Beautiful!
 
All models got impressively more cold with our cold period love it .. also looking like the wedges save us from getting to 80 at least here in Raleigh. Good overnight runs

Yes, especially next Sunday night into Tuesday. Now if we can just get a good system soaked with moisture to come along with it.

Euro just threw us a frigid bomb Jesus

1. This is likely the Euro overdoing it, especially with its 1053 high that far south, as the GFS is way less cold. But with it still being over a week out and with this -EPO, anything is possible. That would be close to the coldest of the entire winter in some spots of the E US, especially near Richmond-DC-Philly. And keep in mind that Arctic normals don't even bottom out til ~2/25.

2. Had the Euro gone out to the next morning, I'm confident it would have easily shown a freeze down at least to @pcbjr.

3. Regarding the potential for wintry precip in especially NC, keep in mind that wintry precip climo is at peak 2/26-3/3. So, it is usually wise to not call it a winter there wintery precipwise til after the first few days of March. and even then proceed with caution.

4. The 0Z EPS is in strong support of the colder Euro as well as SE wintry precip potential:

Cold rain ?? About to be a win win situation for us down here either a final winter event or a nice cold rain and continued below average temperatures after for a solid week. A great final attack from winter hope there’s more but like you say climo is worse and worse and soon lick will come in with the facts about sun angle and soil TEMPS
