Wintry King Kong Winter Storm Potential Feb 13th-16th

Nah, it rains.

I think that’s just the model not being able to handle CAD well .. remember globals do bad with CAD the fact that the euro showed this much this far out .. very scary stuff .. that cold air isn’t going to move that fast if those temps and dews were accurate .. that’s solid cold air ..

1043 High in the northeast, yeah thats ICE way way south, @GaWx and @deltadog03 get hammered with that.

Just give the ATL metro sleet and I will be okay!

 

[Metwannabe]

Nah, it rains.

Yeah I saw that and just thinking, not gonna sweat the details this far out.... all I need to know is a monster HP in the NE with single digit to zero DPs. No way we rain with that setup

 

[SimeonNC]

Nah, it rains.

Yeah I don't buy that at all

 

[packfan98]

Yeah I don't buy that at all

Me either. Plus, a couple of more shifts and the low tracks along the coast instead of cutting through the central carolinas.

Who's got the Freezing Rain and Sleet maps???

 

[NickyBGuarantee]

What that euro run basically just told everyone is that these trends to colder are very legit and are happening in the medium range ... more should follow suit ... and I’m sure the eps will have our mouths watering

 

[malak05]

Thats going to be a long period of Freezing Rain/Sleet Tuesday AM to later Tuesday night for GA

Another hockey stick/foot forming with a TPV on top you gotta be kidding me

The Euro's pulling the damming high fairly steadily east... And warming things up rapidly locally in Lower SC....

Frames before that...the temps are stoutly cold, stoutly wedged... With 925mb at -5C... How rapidly it breaks the wedge down is suspect given trends the last two storm systems here have seen more evaporational cooling than forecast even in the warm sector... Early suspicions and red flags brought up... First, the Baja Bogdown (well slower than you'd expect plus timing of moisture usually is hours faster...)...
The resiliency of a reinforced QPF wedge just normally doesn't magically disappear... we're not talking about a bowl of Lucky Charms here

Holy hell. It's time to buy a new generator lol

This thing has Feb 1994 written all over it. A very serious situation for northern Miss, much of Tenn, and maybe into parts of AL. The cad areas of NC and SC could also have issues as well.

You know the more I’m looking at these solutions, the more I see both a February 1994 and February 1996 with this set up. Both of those storms had the massive amounts of ice and sleet to the mid south and Tennessee valley, but they also saw the cold air build into the Carolinas from the NE like a CAD.

Nah, it rains.

If ridging to it's north and northeast doesn't hold the 50/50 in place, then confluence will relax over the NE and allow high pressure to scoot out. You can kind of see the break in the ridge in one of the 500 anomaly maps posted above.

This would create an insitu event and would lessen the wintry threat for many areas. Now the low still won't plow into the CAD, and I'm sure the model isn't respecting CAD enough at this lead. But we really need that low to move east more quickly.

The Euro used to have a bias of holding energy back too long, but I don't know if it really still does or if that's just legend at this point. If it is still true, then we could see a much larger and more widespread wintry threat develop, assuming the cold press being show is correct (and we know how that typically works out).

Could you imagine the power outages. If this played out exactly how the the Euro showed. You’d have Georgia NC Sc under state of emergency

I think that look either the sfc low travels along I-10 over FL or miller B's out. I doubt it would do that...Either way...What a euro run...too bad I can't get to excited because its run to run consistency has been brutal!! I think there is a good shot for the Sunday system, euro trended better, GFS needs to be a bit south with it (ie GFS is NW, euro way south) and then the Tuesday system.. That would be the strongest wedge I have seen in many years.

 

[Wild Weather Monger]

OK. The big takeaway from the 12Z suite is there is consensus that our fickle TPV will head east toward the western Great Lakes by their useful range of 5 days. The amplitude and orientation yet to be determined. The long-postponed dump of some of the coldest air mass in years will dump deep into the US. Details beyond to follow with multiple ways for all areas to score either late week and or early next week. Smiles all around folks!

Ice maps for your viewing pleasure. Keep in mind this is from two ice storms in areas of N. Carolina north of I40 into Virginia.

Definitely headed towards a pattern favorable for a miller B/CAD event on the euro

A blend of the Euro and the GFS for the Sunday system could be glorious.

Is the Sunday storm for the entire Southeast or Western SE or NC?
