January 2026 regional war/obs/disco thread

At 150 hr, the GFS gets the 1000-500 thickness of 516 dm just into NE FL and the -5 C at 850 to MIA. That's Jan 1977 caliber stuff (snowed in MIA). -
Haven't look at all posts, so sorry if this has been already mentioned WTH is this thing that crosses SNE around late this evening on the RRFS? You can trace it back to WV. Gravity wave? Notice it flips the S to IP over CoastalWx's area. A strong gravity wave occurred from the Mid-Atlantic ti SNE on 1/4/1994. Here is my summary I made long ago when I worked at WSI. A major coastal storm was in progress across the Mid-Atlantic states and northeastern U.S. Elkins, West Virginia recorded 6 inches of snow in one hour and Syracuse, New York had 5 inches of snow in a hour for two consecutive hours. Syracuse measured 18 inches for the storm. Other big snowfall totals included 20 inches at Renovo, Pennsylvania and 18.5 inches at Tully, New York. As the storm passed off the New Jersey coast, a gravity wave was induced near Allentown, Pennsylvania. The barometric pressure plunged 22.4 millibars from 997.7 to 975.3 in just 45 minutes at Allentown, and then rebounded almost as much in only 15 minutes. The gravity wave propagated northeastward and produced similar pressure fluctuations in New England. Boston, Massachusetts recorded a wind gust to 66 mph.
