Wintry January 23rd-27th 2026

I was thinking that the GFS would be completely terrible for me with that 1090 high, but then it starts snowing in DC? GFS shenanigans lol
 
This might be an all time stupid GFS run if it can hold
Yeah I don't know that I've ever seen something like this, even in fantasy range. And I'm not even just talking about the surface/snow.. just the meteorology of it all. The never-ending overrunning followed by cyclogenesis attempts off the SC coast AND the Texas coast at the same time, just prolongs the moisture fetch under a tank of a banana high.
 
Holy smokes, this is an all-timer run right here... and only ~144hrs out.

The weird thing is, do you even see this as an impossible scenerio? I feel like if you get a general overrunning setup with a high pressure that strong, it could be a legit risk in an extreme scenerio. This is something we need to monitor extremely closely. Could be an outlier run.

Idk how this can even be possible. And it’s not the only model that has shown it this way. But I’ve never seen it so my gut just tells me it can’t happen like that.

Honestly I’ve seen this run before but it was 8-10 years ago at about hour 357 when the map pixels start to get real spludgy and grainy
 
Reason why the AIGFS sucks is because it’s to elongated with the TPV appendage, and that boxes us in with warmer air, and disrupts the cold feed. Not to concerned given nothing else showing if but it’s in the back of my mind, sometimes these TPVs don’t play nice View attachment 185366

I guess that puts a cutter on the table. So many small differences can create drastic variables. Couldn’t ask to be any better in the game for next weekend though. Goal posts feel a mile wide for at least a warning criteria event of some kind.

The AI models really are insisting on too much of a south east ridge. When you look at the footprint of the surface maps it does seem clear most of the frozen precipitation is pointed toward the mid-Atlantic. Hopefully that blocking keeps pushing it south and does work, sink that 850 line into SC.
 
Split flow for the win. I noticed that a large portion of the biggest SE winter storms had a split flow H5 signature with moist WSW H5 flow for the subtropical jet underneath moving in tandem with a cold NW flow of the polar jet directly to its north in the Plains states.
My eyes always light up when I hear "split flow". My best storms have been in a split flow, and often back to back. Get the cold air in place, and stubborn, and the impulses keep riding in.
