People seem to be way more stressed out than they were prior to Helene. Everyone’s just driving around not knowing what this place is gonna look like 48 hours from now. Similar to Helene except now they’re given the task of not freezing to death. High anxiety weather event

I hope we are all spared. It seems like we could go a little lower on ice. I’m not sure anyone really knows though what the fina outcome will be.

Extraordinary events do happen, but I don't feel like I ever see modeling of potentially extraordinary events come to pass. Are those always a surprise? Shouldn't some of those extraordinary events actually be modeled accurately from time to time?

That's the worst part of it not knowing. My storm anxiety is much higher now especially after Helene. My wife is dependent so I have to take care of her. It makes things much more worse. I am prepared as well I guess as I can be for 4 or 5 days with Generator, propane logs, And food and stuff. But even knowing you not going hungry and should be able to stay warm it still sends that anxiety through the roof! Be glad when it's over and hope it's not as bad as thought

Fascinating battle in Atlanta between the NWS and different METs. Lots of veterans seem to just expect the CAD to be a lot stronger while others have really cut down on the forecast. Exciting battle royal!

This area may actually be well above forecast highs in a couple of hours, getting close to the 50s, and dewpoints aren't really dropping all that much.

Why is Fox weather increasing they're snow footprint across upstate? They now showing 1-3" and earlier they were showing less than 1"

Hot take, but one I’ve always noticed. Hard hitting cad events like this are usually a few hours behind schedule, but usually have more potency when they get here than predicted.

Pre ice storm warmup. I opted for a 30 count of the lord’s nuggets

Bc Sleet will win out. They know the setup and atmospheric history not just a model output

But yet they still talking those very high crazy ice totals

 

[ChrisAMB]

Wedge is definitely wedging here. Icy northeast winds. The shallow cold is causing all sorts of signal propagation issues this morning for those of us with TV antennas.

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

The Weather Channel just showed a map with temps near 50 tomorrow afternoon in Atlanta.

 

[LongRanger]

I'm gonna be honest I wouldn't be a bit surprised if those storms around the gulf ribs moisture around here. Still could be orograpic lift across upstate to keep it up some. But Precip amounts could be much lower. Something to watch

 

[Bigedd09]

It’ll be so frustrating if next weekend stays suppressed. But it wouldn’t surprise some

I am very thankful for the cold forecast this week. Our refrigerator went out again yesterday (never buy a Samsung) so we can keep a cooler on the porch with the perishables until the new one comes Friday. Thank God I have the little mini fridge too.

 

[Triplephase93]

We’re Chattanooga. Of course we find away to dry slot while the temps are in the upper twenties.

 

[superjames1992]

Do the AI models have any sort of run to run smoothing built into them? I notice how they don’t jump around with things like QPF nearly as much as the physics based models. Maybe that’s just because they’re that superior, but I imagine there’s more at play as it’s not like they haven’t shifted south over the last couple days; there’s just rarely any big jumps run to run, it takes longer to adjust.

Now we are cooking with gas when I hear bowling ball

There seems to be a decent chance of a pinched off bowling ball in the southeast with this. Would love to see it, but good luck nailing that down any time soon. Hopefully it keeps flashing on the models for now.

[Drizzle Snizzle]

It looks like temps are Warmer than forecast for Atlanta. Currently 47 and the forecast was 45.

 

[LongRanger]

Now fox Weather is starting to mention about colder columns in the upstate may lead to more Sleet

 

[jeremyt]

Got the gens fueled up and ready for whatever may or may not come!

 

[BIG FROSTY]

Waiting for Gulf of America Thunderstorms to bust this forecast....

 

[Tarheel1]

Gulf coast convection robbing moisture transport! Cut totals in 1/2, atleast!

Can this church be open at 11am on Sundays?

 

[JP152]

KATL pretty warm still.

Where’s Tennesseestorm? Tornadic kidney beans and severe thundersleet and gorilla hail incoming…

 

[JP152]

Midwestern posters all excited in another forum. Laughing at what happened here and what looks to happen in the Mid-Atlantic. Their biggest snows can't rival East Coast storms in any way. Bunch of weenies.

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Atlanta is warm because it was supposed to be warm until 10pm

Storm cancel

 

[Thrasher Fan]

Study the models for days....game day....forget everything they studied.

 

[jackendrickwx]

Hate this part of tracking

 

[metfascination]

His stache game was so strong. Like Burgundy strong. Loved the battles between cook and burns. I’m a throwback to a more gentler time, a in air met named Guy Sharp. How can you not trust a forecast from someone with that name?

I’m telling on myself here, but I clearly timber Sharp and also Johnny Beckman (WSB)

Johnny Beckman. Wow that’s a flash back to very early childhood! Haven’t heard those names in a very long time. I miss the days of watching local news or getting a segment from Kirk Mellish on wsb radio for all my winter storm updates as a kid.

 

[BufordWX]

FFC forecast for my area in the northeast part of Gwinnett county. They have us in the upper 20s from Midnight to Noon. Hope this is overdone becuase if this happens there probably wont be power for a few days.

Chick-fil-A sauce was the right choice, well done.

Lowkey, I think I have a good chance at not losing power in mby.
