Ostrich December

GFS has a high in the mid 20s for Atlanta on Christmas. LolView attachment 58421

and gfs usually runs 5 degrees or so too cold at this time frame, so it's still pretty darn cold.

Yeah I was about to come here to post that map. IF that were to happen, then...

? ? ?

Merry Christmas! Look at those temps at 1pmish on Christmas Day.

This would be fun, especially given sfc temps range from the upper 20s to low 30s across NC, convective snow showers on Christmas Day is the ultimate Christmas present

 

[Stephenb888]

What does it matter if the temp is that cold if there’s no precip to go with it! ?‍

You could potentially argue the abnormally wet conditions we've had here this year & in the past few years in general have made it more difficult to get good CAD because it favors higher dews/RH.

Maybe you could also argue that when the ingredients are right it could end up producing more winter weather for any given location ?

CMC is a bit faster but looks like it is going to be anafrontal this run.

 

[Snowfan]

CMC has the Baja low further east this run .

 

[Myfrotho704_]

The CMC is a hard pass...
Great the CMC/Icon show severe solutions

Some of us just like extreme weather. We’re weird that way I guess.

Trends leading to the Christmas clipper on the GFS were observable fairly early on- look at the vorticity signature over Canada this run. And the leading trough (anafront) was more neutral and faster --> more separation between these waves, and cold air rushing in early. Strengthen/dig that second piece a bit more, and that will translate to more precip. All N/S, no Baja low necessary.

How bout that Greenland block

CMC brings some backside snow showers this run.

Was going to post this, but you beat me too it. What a look. I think the shot on Christmas day looks the coolest, because it's clearly a product of the amplified pattern and our big east coast trough:

Unlike the last few runs where this features stays further south and east, this run it breaks off and pushes poleward, which is really promising for the long-long range stuff. A few model runs looked like things started to crumble after the Christmas cold plunge, but this would be a viable (if tricky) path to putting that collapse off for a little while longer.

Geez.... Monday....

I mean in all honesty we could get close here in NC

And still can’t get a fantasy run beyond 200 hours. This hobby grows more and more difficult every year.

 

[Cadi40]

Only in 2020 would we have some of the coldest air fall on Christmas Day with virtually no moisture... Hoping this trends favorably these next few days!!

Anybody ever seen a radar look like that? Nope

Good Lord at the gefs

It’s nice to look at, but I think we all know the Mountains will win out on that. Best chance east of the Apps is the energy swinging down behind the front for Christmas. (Per GFS) Extremely steep lapse rates will likely produce for us folks east of the Apps if that scenario plays out.

I'd take my chances with this look.

 

[Ollie Williams]

This is an awesome look at H5!

 

[Myfrotho704_]

Lots of anafront members, some make it East of the mountains, I’m sketchy on that, but hey if cold vortex can shove some cold air East of the mountains, it’s not impossible
If your west of the apps, this is a solid look

Gefs is on some ---- tonight folks

Most people don’t like to be in shorts and flip flops on Christmas day

The only thing worse than a Great Lakes low is a stationary Great Lakes low.

Get that to retrograde to the NE, and we’d be in business!

It is, but few more members are actually on board with that kind of extreme

I’m all in! Hump the GFS
