Ostrich December

[Webberweather53]

The kind of look we'd be dealing w/ if this trended favorably is something along the lines of Jan 1992, which produced a sizable snowstorm along the I-20 corridor. Notice the cut off upper low is nearly attached to the trough and sitting over SW TX and northern Mexico.

The one thing we don't have that we had in 1991-92 was a strong El Nino. The additional westerly momentum El Nino pumps into the southern branch of the jet via central Pacific convection encourages these cut off upper lows over the southwestern US and northern Mexico to be more progressive and come out a little quicker.

I think we have a better chance with the Baja s/w getting in a more favorable position then this coastal low.

I remember in December 1993, which was a La Niña I believe, we had a Southern Slider come through the south on the 22nd and 23rd. Charlotte Metro had a widespread 2-3 inches and if I remember correctly there was a shield of accumulating snow through the south basically between I-40 and I-20. I wonder what the set up was for that.

That's also not a horribly dissimilar look in general if we get the cut off upper low over the Baja to speed up




This is what the snowfall map looks like for NC

Trying to dig back in the memory bank I do remember a pre Christmas snowstorm being on the TWC local forecast that was going to be a big deal and it kind of was meh and was melted before Christmas. I wonder if this is it

Big factz!!!!

That's our Christmas miracle

Every southern metro city on this map is at or over 1 inch of snow (if it is all snow) not a bad look!

 

[MSnowAtl]

That's our Christmas miracle

Amen!!!!!!! I knew the TWC app wasn't crazy! ???

Notice the energy associated with the Baja low
