Pattern The Great December Dump

Not looking bad, if the energy could be a bit less strung out (I think?) I'd be very interested if I were in Tennessee but as it is some could see some light snows there.

Yeah this looks like a potential TN valley storm to me. The cold air simply doesn't dive far enough south.

Yeah, you can see how the changes at H5 have affected the “axis” of precipitation, more favorable look, we could certainly get a better/stronger shortwave than what the GFS spits out tho, still lots of work to do16B220D7-1558-4936-9B1F-AA40ABD46470.gif
 
Yup here's your overruning

Still mostly for Tennessee and the Apps but better than nothing.

Yeah, our best shot would be the shortwave slowing down more to allow that surface high pressure to filter in colder air then get that shortwave to move in
 
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but I think the NAM would've been a good one if it went past 84

Compared to the GFS

Oh yeah. The nam closes off our SW. the longer it stays intact the better results downstream.

gfs did strengthen our SW energy

the stronger the SW the more “independence” it will have and will resist the pull of the frontal energy.
So we want to see the NAM strength verify. Of course it’s the long range NAM so...

I like what the GFS is showing later in the run even if its hard to see it happening. Phases late, manages to run inland, screws most people over in the MA/NE.

No I honestly hope the MA/NE get some to build snowpack which will help with high pressure staying in place longer, which in the end will benefit us in the SE.
 
This was the Euro from a couple of days ago that had the big snow/ice storm, versus the 0z Euro and latest 12z GFS.

Running out of time to get a closed low of that strength, at least the gfs took a better step, but right now things are sheared and quick, like what @Fountainguy97 said we need a stronger closed low so it would slow down a bit and help seperate itself, that would Help it become more of a miller B/CAD type setup (would allow time for the high pressure to scoot East) vs a Ana frontal/overrunning setup and a sheared wave we’re seeing now
