February/March 2020 Winter's Last Chance Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Random thought this AM. What if the SPV holds on so long this year that when it finally breaks down, it disrupts the bad NAO cycle we've been in for so long? -

Good news is we will at least start to see reality on radar this time tomorrow. -

3km NAM, while not a throat punch to the northern plateau, is at least a wicked jab. -

18z Euro. Finally figured out how to make these on my phone: https://giphy.com/gifs/VeZ269fobmDUjSeJQL -

Hvward had a good post earlier this AM in the NC Mountains/ foothills thread about how the NAM might be handling the set up better because it was a "gridded" model, as oppose to the Euro/ UK which are "spherical". Apparently this allows the NAM to do better with small, punchy vorts moving in quickly one after another. 12z Euro: -

Euro looks like it will be better than 0z, but maybe not quite as good as 6z. Splitting hairs though. -

I didn’t think it could get more NAMtastic but it will on this run at least. On my phone so can’t post maps. -

6z Euro still drier than the NAM, but hands down the best it has looked for the I-40 corridor in TN -

I think I've looked at the interaction between the two pieces of energy over CA and the Rockies til I'm crosseyed. Main piece is still the one off shore. I think it's basically go time now. Have to wait and see exactly how precip breaks out and how all that interaction plays out across the Rockies. NAM just keeps the energy together more, despite the squish coming in from the north. RGEM just isn't quite out that far yet on TT, but looks like it could go either way If it was just up to how well the energy survives crossing the Rockies, I might be more inclined to side with the NAM, since sometimes these pieces are more energetic, but the Euro really, really wants to suppress with the N piece: but I don't know that it would take much for something more NAM like to happen. CMC likes Tellico's idea above, it almost turns the corner. -

18z GFS looks north from 12z too. Not quite as nice as the NAM, but still quite a jump. -

Our little shortwave west of CA still looks stout this AM and a nice moisture feed from the STJ in the Pac: I feel like it might be a little more potent when all is said and done. -

Euro also looks like it has some convection parallel to the Gulf Coast. If that happened it could cut off the moisture to an extent. How long has it been since we've even had a chance to worry about Gulf convection cutting off moisture though, lol. -

18z Euro looking better with the moisture in southern plains: Looks like a little more SW flow, but its so close. What a weird set up in regards to its details. Lots of lil vorts in the southern stream too. The flow is almost precisely W --> E any variation to either NW or SW could produce very different results. -

It would be kind of a consummation for this winter if we got the look at hour 84, only to fizzle out and suppress as it moves east. -

So on second thought, I kinda think the piece of energy over the Pacific right now is a key here: Euro swings it in underneath the N stream shortwave and squishes it while the NAM: swings it out much more intact. Not saying the NAM will be right here, just that it is a touchy set up.
