i been saying for a while the highest amounts will be along and north of the I40 corridorView attachment 141487Memphis still holding back, well for the Tupelo area.
My mental pic Im drawing is like the 12z GFS. I hear you though. Wanted the SW back out over the pacificHa, I've been saying the opposite. I want the ridge to rollover in SW Canada to give us a little more positive tilt on the trough, then have it yank to neutral just in time. If not, we get the inland solution of the UKMet. Also, the Euro has more press southeast with the heights thru Ohio and PA, so both are factors. Mid-South areas will want the UKMet solution
Do you think it might wind up something like this? This was a top CIPS analogGlad to see I wasn’t crazy last week for thinking this had a chance for folks even in the Carolinas. Reel it in!

GSP didn’t get info to much detail in their discussion… probably more focused on tomorrow right now… they did say it was something to keep an eye onNWS GSP now has R/S in the grids for most of the Piedmont of NC
I remember Matthew East talking a lot about this exact look back in the winter of 2009-10. Anytime the largest heights are set up over Baffin Bay, he said was the best for Carolina winter stormsI mentioned this previously, but you can thank the block for that. I would like for everyone reading this board to just step back, take a deep breath, and behold a true, west-based NAO block. We've gone years and years without seeing this. I think we should pause for a moment to enjoy.
So many winters, we just hope and pray for a little ridging up there somewhere. A block like this is not going to be quick to break down and move out. It's good to remember that, because as long as it's there and of that magnitude, things in the modeling are going to have more of a tendency to press south than they usually do, as we move in closer...up to a point, at least.

TPV is turned out to be deeper then what even what the GFS had 24-36 hours ago View attachment 141501
What does this mean for VA for the 16-17 storm?Can confirm the initial trough over me in New Mexico is definitely stronger
