Holy Cow at the Euro just through 240 hours. I'm counting four possible systems just by quick glance at 500mb.
The FV3 is doing the same thing. With the PV lobe so far south, the waves come within days of each other. With all that cold, little snow that falls would melt and we could see snow on top of snow if it verifies. Truly great runs today. Let's see if they hold.Holy Cow at the Euro just through 240 hours.

Looks like there is not much doubt about the cold coming. GEFS mean continues to increase, and now the models are really starting to fire up the storms. They might be a little farther out than I like, but there is no doubt the signals for winter storms are showing up strong starting a week from now. Lots of positives today for those looking for snow.
Let you slide this once....![]()
P.S. I know, I know, this is banter....
The 18z FV3 was a thing of beauty. So. Many. Opportunities. Including that 1/26 to 1/28 window and like 4 more lol.![]()
Another storm on fv3

The Euro has some pretty stout gusts as well as the system moves through.Likely gonna be some strong winds with these storms, over 1000jkg of sbcape, storm organization and a decently moist cloud layer will likely produce a few decent water loaded downdrafts and a couple of spin ups tommorow in the southern gulf coast states

Isn't going to take a lot to force these 925s down. Its interesting that 2014 is mentioned as a top analog and we had a big wind event on 1/11 that had an 86 mph gust at RDU. That event started the step down to about 4-5 weeks of gloryKinda surprised about the lack of talk about severe weather tommorow, a slight risk is concerning and it covers a decent amount of area
Yes, it was on January 28, 2014.Is 2014 the same year. 1.6 inches of snow caused major problems for Atlanta. Complete gridlock. If so I could see it happening again if the next weekend snow works out

Yes. I still think Fab Feb is on. Late Jan pattern change to colder seems likely. Storms may take a while, but I do think we get there though. Worst case the storms miss a little north but spin up some nice cold on the backside.
I do think there’s really no better timing for this change. Analogs say Feb had the best pattern for weak and moderate ninos, and since it takes 20ish days for tangible SSW impacts, there’s no better way to head into a climo-favored month for cold and stormy than the events unfolding now.
In any event, winter returns.

It’s funny you say that, I was trying to find modeling around that exact time period because I remember it looked similar to what Webber just posted above (ridging over/above Alaska, cross polar flow) and it does in fact look quite similar. This pattern can lead to deep cold and deep wintry precipitation for sure.

I think the Latoya Jackson Airport Hot Wing & Nail Emporium recorded close to 3” that day. Shut the place down for a minute or 3. I know this statement is banter-worthy, but I have a point that I’d like to make should the distinguished gentlemen that run this joint permit:
The level of cold shown on these recent model runs is something ridiculous. The blocking & the occasional lobes of the PV breaking off are remarkable. But I’d like to ask, simply because I haven’t paid much attention to the discussion-Would this level of cold be conducive to southern sliders/Miller A’s with widespread winter weather despite the lagging MJO & the teleconnections? How many standard deviations below the mean would this look like for the NAO or AO? Like for real, this is some crazy stuff. I haven’t found any resources that show what that would look like, hence my asking.
Flame away.
I think your right when it happens to tomorrow there will some people very surprised with the storms and the coldKinda surprised about the lack of talk about severe weather tommorow, a slight risk is concerning and it covers a decent amount of area
That was the last time I had a decent snowLook at western ridge just literally sit there, that’s nice, 2014 was a good winter
You just get a feeling we’ll find a way to move some cutters I mean precip through with how juiced up the STJ has been the past several months. Could be the perfect recipe OR the cold air might prevail. I mean it snows in Canada with these kinds of temperatures. Why can’t we line one up?Not flaming and not being negative. Generally with that kind of cold look more often than not down here it suppresses the low track way down in the GOM. Not saying this is gonna happen this time not saying it won't either. This is just my humble experience with cold arctic outbreaks. Those who are more knowledgeable please correct me if I am wrong.
It also could be conducive for a great overrunning event not unlike the ones we had in the recent past. If a Southern slider is strong enough to walk the tight rope along the Gulf coast it could drop a good amount of snow over a wide area.

Yep - that radar shot looks familiar too, that has to have come from the SCO as that is my exact GR2 setup haha. I still help them out on some winter weather stuff from time to time and we put that blog post together in about an hour, truly a remarkable event (was a little disappointed to not catch any of it over in Wake Forest).Mid-late January 2014 is a pretty obvious front-runner to the pattern that's associated with this upcoming arctic outbreak.

Up to 1" of additional snow fell in this legitimate lake effect snow band in parts of Wilson, Nash, & Wayne counties that emanated off of Lake Kerr. Probably one of the craziest things I've ever seen here in NC.

I think this is important to remember . Sure everyone wants a big storm with a foot of snow . But a few inches followed by days of brutal cold can be far more impactful and in fact is my preference when it comes to winter storms
