  1. Sorry you've had such a rough year, I hope the upcoming one is 1000000 times better!
  2. 6z GFS has re introduced the idea of some upslope this weekend, Euro has the vort that causes it on the GFS too, but doesn't show any precip. Maybe we can squeeze out a snow shower or two?
  3. There's definitely been can kicking, but I think some of that gets settled, at least with regards to the pattern, once this huge cut off upper low gets out of the way over this next weekend. I really wish we could have gotten some upslope this weekend though since I'm going to be in Boone. Upslope is a pretty hard one to screw up, even for our area, so I'll call that a can punt. Its reminiscent of a certain infamous punt from the GA TN game this year.
  4. 18z GFS gives TN a nice I 40 storm at hr 174. Ideal levels of suppression at range after that.
  5. Regardless of the specific outcome, the GFS REALLY wants a big storm somewhere in our forum area around the 23rd. Seems like its been trying to show something since that period came into range.
  6. I liked the 0z GFS, it was fun! It actually maintained a bit of continuity at 6z in its med - long range, in there there is a general chance of cold and wintry weather. But it spat out a fun solution for the snow showers associated with the upper low late next week. You've heard of orographic lift snows in a NW flow, you've heard of an upper level cold pool causing instability, well... I give you positive vorticity advection snow from SW --> NE on the backside of a huge upper low! Maybe it just counts as a clipper at that point? Rut Roh though, the Euro abandoned us to GFS despair at 0z: It doesn't so much get sheared out as the GFS had been suggesting, as it is able to just move ENE. The CMC also took a jump NE and looks like a compromise between the 0z Euro and 6z GFS, but favors the GFS's depiction. EPS members took a hit a 0z too, but there are still a good number of members who see the opportunity: plateau: mts: For those who like upslope, hopefully this is just a blip in these OPs and maybe the actual block will hold a bit better. *Holston cringes silently since he is planning on being in Boone next weekend*
  7. Just on the GFS as far as I can tell. It looks about the same on the Euro and CMC.
  8. 6z GFS jumped in a big way toward how the Euro and CMC were handling the system next week. Hopefully that is a sign that it is handling things poorly right now because its long range looked warm.
  9. Ehh 6z GEFS seems to be a bit more optimistic than earlier runs about the upslope next week:
  10. I'll add that the EPS is pretty enthused about at least snow showers and flurries next week on the plateau and mts: Plateau: Mts: But, is the GFS the new Dr. No? Even if it is ultimately wrong, can it effectively show how things could go south?
  11. Overnight ensembles: EPS GEFS GEPS GEFS is definitely in ints own world with regards to the SE ridge and troughs in the western trough. But I'm kind of in what can go wrong, may go wrong mode right now... hopefully that's just a personal problem lol
  12. Someone in the MA forum linked to this today. Some good insights into how the CPC folks see the pattern evolving: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/predictions/WK34/ For me, it was striking how much came down to La Nina probabilities. Not saying they are wrong to do that, but the whole write up was fascinating in terms of trying to see how the pros reason through medium to long range forecasting. Some good MJO disco in there too.
  13. The big storm that was going to be a big front next week has almost turned into a Miller B on the 6z GFS. The GFS depicts the low transfer from Dubuque, Iowa to Cape Fear
  14. Beautiful night up here in Morgan County: Sadly the clearing seems to only happen after dark.
  15. It's banter, but man, I think there's some weenie rule that says a run like that has to be posted: The stuff Gulf Low dreams are made of lol.
  16. Maybe they put something in its algorithm from way back in the FV3 days when it used to produce those wild snow storms late in its run.
  17. One thing we can say, is at least the pattern can kicking seems to have stopped, at least for now.
  18. I'll probably be able to kayak in my front yard after this next batch of rain moves in:
