Pattern January 2020 - Operation Thaw Alaska

I don't think I buy those 2m temps with 850s cold enough. I generally tend to think 2m temps take care of themselves if the mid-levels are cool enough, at least if precip is heavy enough.
Agree. Maybe it is because it is dinner time and precip is just moving in/getting started??
 
Looking at the imagery above and the bent isobars over Flordia (where the center would likely go/do its thing), is exactly a track that would be needed for I-20 North in this area. Something I have not seen in a while, as we enter Climo period for this area.
 
Euro is a great track but the 900-sfc layer is ugly. That being said at D6+ I will take my chances that we can get just enough help from the 1031 over Maine to have at least a doable profile in the lowest 100mb
BL sucks but honestly within reach, maybe....

I think we have to have that low bomb out a lot stronger but maintain the track, that would definitely help cool the boundary layers.
 
One thing is for certain ... I can’t find one model that’s heading in any direction of warmth heading into February ... it’s actually looks fairly cold lol ... AN winter may be in jeopardy ??
AN winter is all but a lock at this point..but maybe we can scrap something together to get what we’re all here for ❄️
 
As y’all have said, the changes in the 0z euro vs 12z run are laughable. Lol. This 1st system, mid next week, has some potential. I think there might be another one late next week also.


I love pivotal weather but it’s difficult uploading images here sometimes because file size to large. Lol

I just SS and crop it to a minimum, and if that doesn’t work I SS the pic Again and somehow it takes up less

There's no way that AN winter (DJF) is in jeopardy. It is about as much as lock as it can possibly be on 1/23. Do the math.
 
If we dropped enough melting snow into that we might be able to cool that 925 layer to 0
We need rates. Storm needs to be stronger and those temps need to be quite a bit over modeled, or it's going to be "hey did..was..hey, was..did I..I think I just saw a flake mixed in with all that rain"!?!! Not trying to be a debbie downer, but this is really long shot.

Correct. However I've been going with -1 the last 42 days of met winter at GSO. Thats doable. sitting at -4.6 so far. But to the point Dec, Jan will be so much +, that it would take like a -10 or greater Feb to pull it back down for the whole 90 day period. That aint happening as you stated. Just glad we salvaged the 2cnd half even if its normal or slightly BN. Hopefully we all can sneak in a accumulating event to save face. Before the gnats and 70 DP's return for 6 months.
 
There's a little noise on the EPS for the I-85 corridor. Maybe someone can post the members when they are available.
 
GSP has issued winter weather advisories. Waiting on Blacksburg. Mostly an escarpment event but hoping for a pellet of sleet.
