I'm hearing that a Winter Storm Watch may be issued for Atlanta later today. Why would they issue a Watch when it's going to rain ?

I’m personally issuing a stupid question watch for this board

 

[Tokenfreak]

Will we ever have something again like the 1973 snow storm sigh...

 

[weatherfide]

okey dokey. if atl is geographically in the wedge this will not be an issue.

The Wedge must be strong and sufficiently replenished with cold dry air, though. Modeling shows it weak at the Atlanta side.

 

[chapelhillwx]

Yes, Atlanta north and east has ice risk. But the temps are marginal 31 or so, the rain is moderate, and the mid level temps are on fire. It's going to be hard for it to accumulate except on trees and metal railings and such.

Do you get tired from moving the goalposts?

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

I think the key to Atlanta is are Temps 25-27 or 31-32. Gonna make a world of difference with the heavy precip.

Yep. 30 degree ZR is basically just rain in my experience. Ground level stuff isn’t that bad. Prob wouldn’t drive in it though

 

[chapelhillwx]

A wedge has to be pretty strong to make it all the way to Atlanta. Many times Atlanta only sees a glancing blow from the wedge and not the full effect.

I'll give you a 2/10, you can do better. Nothing you said negates what I said.

Today is the 1 year Anniversary of the Gulf Coast Blizzard !

 

[FallsLake]

The 0z canadian looks to have ~20 hours of sleet for RDU and then a major freezing rain event.

 

[KyloG]

Only we can screw this setup up...we just can't handle success

 

[jackendrickwx]

Gonna run in here real quick and throw in a hopium grenade, the GFS being too far north with the gulf blizzard 102 hours out:




PS I know its not the same setup and i'm getting ice

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Can we have a severe thread also created for this weekend?

Give Milton, FL saw 10” of snow last winter, I’d say it is still possible and will happen again on a long enough timeline. However, we just don’t know how infrequent such a storm is. Was it a once a century storm? Once a millennium? Once every 20 years and we’ve just gotten unlucky lately?

 

[NoSnowATL]

I used to hate your trolling but now find it hilarious lmao

Is like a disease

 

[superjames1992]

Early next week is going to be fun. There’s no way our crappy heat pump doesn’t freeze up with the extended duration of the cold, never mind the potential of us just straight up losing power altogether. It will be a very, very cold Sunday / Monday in my house, I suspect.

Planning to have bought a house by next winter so this will no longer be an issue…

 

[billyweather]

It’ll be interesting to see how much models adjust from hurricane hunter data. Believe they said that would start with the 00z runs tonight

 

[SD]

I hope that everyone enjoyed their clown maps they've been so desperate to see. Big time payouts

 

[Rain Cold]

NAM at 105 going bonkers!

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

We said Jan 88’ lolo. This POS is about to be its own analog

 

[KyloG]

Cooked...

 

[Rain Cold]

What did I say???

Euro too flat

Big winter storms start with rule number 1, non-negotiable: You must have a high pressure in a favorable location of sufficient strength.

My friends, this non-lala land setup for a winter storm not seen since the days of black and white photgraphs is picture perfect. Now archive the images.

Oh, and don't screw it up!

 

[DopplerWx]

The nam lmao this is an all timer fail

It's never snowing in CLT again. It just doesn't work anymore. Something always jacks up any potential.

And we think we have a shot in February?

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

I'm going to start listening to BAM a lot more.

 

[jrips27]

Just saw a power truck in downtown Atlanta getting on 75/85 and heading NORTH lol

Feels like a sign

 

[SD]

I have 0 positive feelings about this one based on the last 18 hours. Icon at 18z was the right trend not just about everything else that's happened since. The setup is quite ripe for boiling mid levels, nw trend and hurt feelings. Hope I'm wrong but ill be on the sideline for a few days unless something changes. One day folks will realize at most of our latitudes phasing and amplification aren't our friends unless you really think that unicorns like Jan 00 and 93 are realistic options

Lets check in 24 hours later.

His dumb ass is still posting but anther day of dookie trends

 

[Brent]

Well I've been officially NAM'ed haha

That was uh something

I was thinking the same thing. RDU hasn't had a 4" event in 8 years...I don't think we've ever done that before in our history. We will probably see a little 1-2" at some point in the next few years.

 

[broken025]

Thought this was the one. After years of -------- I thought this one would make us whole. Nope. Not happening. I give up.

 

[GeorgiaGirl]

Well, despite it all, the 12Z NAM has actually trended colder at the surface.View attachment 186887

Yeah, if the precip got there in time, it would've been a bad ice storm for the CAD regions probably and ice to rain where it's borderline.

Problem is that the precip axis suggests high and dry for a while.

 

[Drizzle Snizzle]

@NickyBGuarantee is gonna get hammered with snow in Southern Illinois

 

[LukeBarrette]

This has always been a slop storm. I don’t understand why some thought they were getting powder.

You wouldn't have said this yesterday morning. Stop with the bs

Not implausible we get 4” of sleet from this one, LOL!

We were close to 4” with the storm late last Fab Feb, at least.

Check my post history, I literally said it yesterday and the day before. Mixed bag of slop for all.

 

[Heelyes]

@Coldasice do you ever post or just clown anything that doesn’t give you snow?

 

[Parker]

 

[rburrel2]

Gonna be a lot of people in here eating crow who don’t think the ice is going to be widespread and bad.

 

[KyloG]

Gonna be a lot of people in here eating crow who don’t think the ice is going to be widespread and bad.

Agreed...there will be a major ice event somewhere...probably for Virginia and maybe NW NC.

 

[LukeBarrette]

You can only say that because you are in Georgia, model consensus has not had snow in Georgia for two days... LOL alright dude

 

[KyloG]

BAM folks walking into the office today after the call of the year on Monday...
