My thoughts are like yours but the very warm Atlantic may continue to help fuel the SER. But hopefully the stronger Niño finally overcomes it.
If we can beat back that SER, that isn't an awful look for a system. However, its mid March which likely means temps are a problemI believe I did the 4/2-4/3 composite right. Although @Webberweather53 can correct me here if I'm wrong

I can see some resemblance, but not identical by any means
And the 12z GFS for hr 228

Looks like severe wx for NC/SC/eastern GA based off that look, haven’t looked at precip maps tho
This is what I meant @GaWx , that ugly ridge around the gulf of Alaska then the very negative PNA

Yeah I’m not sure the EPO has any effect on the SER. Big AK block sends cold air this way but doesn’t gueantee it makes it this far south. +PNA is a must. +PNA -EPO combo is a pretty good one. +PNA -EPO -AO -NAO is the dream team combination. My question is does anything in the arctic region (AK Arctic Greenland) move the SER in one direction or another? What’s the main driver here?Seems like a that bad AK block we had before when we had that SER/ -PNA doesn’t help either
You make a good point. But I can’t help but think that the very warm Atlantic off the SE is aiding in strengthening that SER in addition to the ugly block making it easier for the SER to be strong.
My experience it may help the SER but a strong Nino produces a zonal Pac. Which is horrible too.My thoughts are like yours but the very warm Atlantic may continue to help fuel the SER. But hopefully the stronger Niño finally overcomes it.
@GaWx and @Webberweather53 or anyone else thinks that we can have a board wide winter storm catch us off guard with how bad the models been all year... I feel like with the severe weather and with the El nino finally truly starting to take affect March may be a month that could have some wild swings...
The 12Z GFS continues the idea that we won’t have an early spring. This is especially evident in Brent’s area!
The high teens (TN and mtns) to low 20's to near 32 lows elsewhere tonight for most board members in the SE will in most cases be within just a few degrees of the coldest so far this winter. I'm guessing that THE coldest will be tied or maybe even a new coldest set in a few locations. We'll see. Anyway, enjoy the (near) boardwide freeze tonight, folks! You've earned this one. Hopefully, this will quiet the bugs for awhile.

My favorite part of that frame is I get snow while the MA and parts of the NE get cold rain.
Thank you for ur service?There are a single hand full of EPS members that are interesting out at day 14 so at least indicating a chance later in the month. Here is member 8 for you viewing pleasure

Looking at member 8, Tuscaloosa is shut out.Can you post one by further south and west by chance
Wow at this stage I can take that but I definitely wouldn't mind driving an hour to Birmingham or even Atlanta to snow chase if that verifiedLooking at member 8, Tuscaloosa is shut out.

We're 4-5 days out from even considering it a possibility, but that map is fun to look atWow at this stage I can take that but I definitely wouldn't mind driving an hour to Birmingham or even Atlanta to snow chase if that verified
Right but it will be real fun if it catches us off guard and gives everyone from Dallas to the Carolinas 20+ inches so that way we can end the winter on a high noteWe're 4-5 days out from even considering it a possibility, but that map is fun to look at
With that upcoming look it makes me skeptical since we were wanting that look earlier in the year. Nice +PNA there but is it too late and will it be too warm? Just have to see. I'm trying not to get sucked into events since I still feel we aren't going to see one big storm but I hope to be wrong.12Z GFS incoming 3/18-9.
