Pattern Jammin January 2024

underwhelming gfs run, but not something to gnash teeth about imo

that first shortwave looks like a NE/AR/TE deal and nothing else as the vortex tears that wave to shreds

now, the northern stream shortwave, the one rounding the rockies, that certainly has potential. qpf was muted on this run compared to 6z because of a less favorable tilt and broader trough, but still a lot of time left. i could say "wouldn't it be nice" for a lot of things, more digging, stream separation, etc... but it's a weather forum, not a beach boys forum. but that probably is the feature that, if future runs go in our way, elevate this from "potential" to "threat"
 
If you compare it to places West of the apps, it was. Places in North GA & Eastern TN didn’t get out the single digits for highs..
Ok you’re comparing the Piedmont to areas that have a considerably higher elevation. The December 2022 Arctic blast was one in every sense even east of the mountains. Much of the NC Piedmont and SC upstate went more than 50 hours below freezing and there were widespread single digit lows on Christmas Eve

Call it a gut feel but my sense for this particular pattern (short/temp whatever it turns out to be) next week is best suited (for mby anyway) to produce in the 19th-21st time range if it does do anything
