January 2026 Short/Medium Range Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
It was pretty vague but also pretty enticing. it looked “wild.” And was a “monster.” no idea what that means specifically, and especially for east TN, but it does at least sound like in shifted in someway -

After what Bounycorn said on southernwx I think we’re all just sitting back and waiting for it lol. -

Looks like Google Weathernext v2.78665 pretty well held with the upper low bringing snow, but that's about it. -

And if you want a good snow in East TN, that is exactly how you want it. -

12z Euro ticked back west a bit, but like Tellico, I'm now in the "let's see how hi res models handle this" camp -

Winter 25/26 General Obs

Yo, Kingsport people, especially west Kingsport/ anyone in Hawkins county y'all seeing any Cherokee Lake effect snow? I've got some Watts Bar Lake effect snow here (posted in general obs) and a band from Cherokee aimed at KPT is showing up on satellite. I'll move this post later this AM. But thought more people would see it here. -

Getting some Lake effect flurries off of Watts Bar this AM. Wondering if anyone else upwind is seeing anything. Looks like something similar off of Cherokee aimed at West Kingsport -

There was a time late last week when the EPS actually liked the 4-6th window better than this weekend. -

Just as an example, look at this sigma anomaly (standard deviation from the norm). -
January 2026 Short/Medium Range Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Probably what I'd go with too for now if I had to make and official forecast for 5-7 days out. As modeled, this is a highly anomalous system with extremely high end potential for someone in the eastern US. Highly anomalous things are just that, very uncommon. N. stream has been favoring cold and dry and at this range, so I'd go with the trend and only start to introduce some pops (20%) tomorrow if this holds. -

I think its possible, but how likely it is, that's another question. -

GFS from 1/23 is probably the high end of what could happen at this point with some ticks west: Please note before you look below, this is from 0z GFS 1/23, not a more recent run -

Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Here are the CIPS H5 analogs: I think it looks at the GFS's forecast and populates analogs from that. All CIPS has is the GFS as a base layer for comparison unfortunately. -

I can never remember how to get to the CPC site for that. I'll try to figure it out again because I keep meaning to. -

SOI had a big drop recently after be positive for most of the past month Some say that portends a southern stream storm in 2-3 weeks, others are skeptical. Good convection near the dateline too: Strat still looks to get split in early to mid Feb. -
Getting what I call Ridley Scott snow this morning. High ration powder just floating around like atmospheric fiberglas in a Ridley Scot film.

csnavy, a met in the MA forum, had a good/ funny approach for managing expectations regarding models each day this week: In other words, if we are in the bullseye on Friday, we should feel free to do whatever Vince is doing above. -

Yep, I agree with you and Chattownsnow. Can something this wound up actually get this far south? -
