That would be brutal in North Florida,maybe shades like the 2018 storm

I think the MJO signal will get totally interfered with the next upcoming days and any model could be right TBH.IMHO like Carver said earlier the NAO will probably change the next several runs over and over, i still think temps could moderate some and towards the end of Jan it can get pretty cold again,depending on teleconnections

Starting a new severe thread since the last one was back into 2021,plus we want to keep severe out of winter threads unless we get a severe threat at any time. But this looks like a potential active season right now ATM.Right now the IO is fixing to come pretty active the next few days in which should/ could possibly strenghten LaNina upcoming the next weeks ahead as we head into March. So post your Forecast and OBS from now on here please

Lots of moving parts leading up to the end of next week,throwing one piece off the others will follow

GFS is trying to put this year into the record books in Nashville

It took it long enough to make some noise potentially.Should take more hits with the MJO going into the IO,Maritime

Its pretty wild how we continue to see these troughs in East Asia.At first i thought it was because the warm SST'S but then i remembered some of these SST'S this year are breaking records from last year,but we didnt see anything like this pattern last winter,possibly the ENSO,seems possible,we did have a strong NINO

Still think the JMA is right with the MJO,but i also think the Euro is also right ,just not as amped.If the CFS is anywhere right it does show a strong MJO into Africa and into the IO,but in a NINA base state the signal will get destructive interefrnce into the IO from waves that should totally disrupt the MJO signal when its actually moving forward Maybe i might be wrong but if teleconnections work out i really think our coldest temps of the season could be towards the end of the month..jmho

Thats still insane.I lived in Jacksonville for around 25 years.Like that article i posted from the from the Climate center in Florida ill post think link it does get cold i know,but ice i never seen ice until i moved here.With a Nor-easter in some winters when those winds cross the STJohns River,oh that shit is brutal..lol https://climatecenter.fsu.edu/topics/winters

Didnt even know Florida could get so cold ,even though it was back into the 1800's Although many people head south to escape the cold in the winter, it isn't always warmer in Florida. When an intense low pressure system is followed by a strong high pressure system, particularly powerful invasions of cold air may occur in Florida. These cold air outbreaks can produce below-freezing temperatures and are usually accompanied by strong winds that can produce bitterly cold wind chills. Over the past 150 years, numerous severe cold outbreaks have affected Florida. In February 1899, a cold wave that became known as the Great Arctic Outbreak pushed frigid Canadian arctic air into the state. During this event, the lowest temperature ever recorded in Florida (-2°F) occurred on February 13, 1899. Since this outbreak, a number of "impact freezes" have influenced the retreat of the famous Florida orange groves from areas around Jacksonville and St. Augustine to their current locations in south Florida.

Right,i was thinking the same thing myself

Guess its possible but would be really,really rare

I cant ever recall a ice storm in North Fl..lol

Yeah the MJO into 3 alot of people always say thats gloom and doom but actually its not

We get excited with the GWO into those phases for severe if its right..lol

The pattern as of late has been acting like a decent Nino other than a Nina,so its not very coupled.The SOI the last couple days is hovering around -20,the SOI seemingly should start to reverse shortly

Mean has really jumped on board today seemingly

Yeah thats brutal seeing a 1058hp nosing into Oklahoma the Euro is showing,could be the coldest temps we've seen all season

The link to above id you care..lol https://www.weather.gov/hun/elnino_winter_study_tennessee3_temperatures

I assume this is going by the ONI,this is Middle Tn IN Nina years

Maybe,im not sure what will happen,everything could be suppressed like Jeff mentioned,we had a ULL off the east coast last storm,models are showing a ULR off the east coast right now where ever it is placed,this could suppress the jet and hoping for clippers,to far off to tell right now plus im looking at the Euro long range

I dont think we have the blocking for a storm next weekend like WPC was talking about earlier,the blocking dont seem to be there and both the GFS and Euro shows a active southern jet going into the OV,this should scream cutter and maybe cold chasing rain and maybe if cold can catch up possibly some higher elevation wrap around,maybe it will change,dunno right now
