Pattern January 2017 Discussion

Another suppressed look wouldn't necessarily be bad to me.

But if it goes from warm/cutter to suppressed, that's really confusing.

just another possible solution. we have seen everything today




except what we want

GFS para= $ !! Suppression city!! Moisture very far south! Looks like it wants to pop a low in the gulf, very cold in the 7-10th timeframe, and super-cold at Canada border, at the end!

Mack,
The 12Z para-GFS gives Waycross some kind of wintry precip. a week from tonight (1/5-6)! Imagine the meltdown here if that were to somehow occur and if not much falls further north.
[/quote]

I'm probably the only person on here that would be in favor of such a thing. Does it show all of South Georgia getting something frozen falling from the sky?
[/quote]

No, just far SE GA in a band east of a line from Waycross northeastward to SAV. All of the way to the coast. Light amounts of mainly under 0.10" liquid equiv.
 
Really this far oit, do we honestly think we will have weenie runs every run?
 
As I said last night, us in the CAD areas better hope its cold enough or we could end up with a bad ice storm. This run is all over that solution.
 
18z GFS is like12z Euro, there are two lows, one over southwestern NM and another one in the northwestern Gulf at 192. The energy from the low over southwestern NM kicks too fast just like the energy from the 12z Euro. Another low pops up at 216 in the Atlantic (a low is still in the Gulf) so with double lows, more WAA. NC gets a hammering of IP/ZR.

Still lots of different scenarios with each model, and even from run to run with the same model. No real consistency yet.

About when would we want the energy to kick out?
 
This run is so close to many more, it has my attention. I watched the full completion of the second wave and it actually look good. Just a few degrees colder then Boom. There's alot of energy and plenty of cold just need timing. I bet the gefs will look better than the OP

too fast ? that run was much slower with the energy

I like the slower evolution of the 18z gfs gives more time for the cold to move in. need to watch the SER and the placement of the block . but I'd take that slower look

Yep, you're right, that's the main reason why the Euro operational was less favorable for much of the SE US... The faster the shortwave energy kicks out, the less time the cold air will have to build in & hence the frontal wave will form and ride along the arctic front further North & west. We still have a very loonng ways to go

Shortly after the first wave, we need the colder air in here first, better yet, at the same time as that 2nd wave moves in, if there will be a 2nd wave moving along to the southeast. Timing is very important with the looks of this scenario. Over the past days, I've been saying that I see a better chance with a 2nd wave for snow. And, above that 2nd low over southwestern NM, that high will be important as well. If you look at the GFS you can see it moving along with the low over southwestern NM which would eventually set up a snow event for the southeast if only that 2nd wave didn't kick out so fast.

From Huntsville NWS discussion:
If the front remains across central Alabama, as
models hint at now, we may have some significant winter weather
developing Thursday into Friday.

I'm not focused on the exact model timing, I'm focusing on the similarities of the placement of energy.

Even if it is a mix of snow and ice, this would still be a pretty good storm. And it's close to being something bigger.

Larry, does the ice come down to Cumming or is it mainly extreme NE GA?

12z Euro is faster and 18z GFS is slower. 12z Euro has moisture pushing out by 228 while the 18z GFS has freezing rain still going on in NC at hr 228. The 12z Euro is slower with that piece of energy that I'm talking about but it catches up at 174-180.

yuck the 18z gefs has too many miller bs for my liking
and a nice huge cutter . all options on the table including a high probability of heartbreak

Still a long ways to go but I don't like how ice is becoming more of a possibility... again this would be crippling

Re: January 2017 Discussion

Well, that 18z GFS run was good IMO. Someone posted, stating that, the NWS office out of AL said that a major winter event could be setting up if that boundary front hangs there. I agree, and that's what I mentioned before. Things will start to get interesting for sure. We've seen enough consistand  runs showing that the southeastern states will get winter weather during the 5th-7th time period and possibly into the 8th.

I agree 100%. This is a ongoing model to model threat. We are very close to something to a major event. Just need a tad colder. And be truful I still think GFS is underestimating the cold
 
January 2017 Discussion

Does anyone know how much of this is actually snow in northern middle Tennessee vs ice? I'm getting my winter subscription to wxbell tomorrow so I don't have access to the maps that separate the two yet. If it's mostly ice I don't want anything to do with it. I like ice if it's a light glaze with no power outages which I usually see once or twice per season up here. But anything heavy I'd rather have rain.
