The “I bring the mojo” Jan 30-Feb 1 potential winter storm
DeltaPilot replied to lilj4425's topic in Southeastern States
Im gonna ask ONE MORE TIME. Please if you are posting models, can you post the map for the entire Southeast. I live just off the left side of all these clown maps being posted, and in this event we are on the western edge of the precip shield. I'd like to SEE how and where the models think some of these bands may set up on the western edges. i know they arent 100% accurate, but seeing that modeled gives us a better feel for the possibility we may see some snow. For the last week, the maps getting posted mostly show SC/NC/VA. There are a bunch of us who are in or just south of ATL and these maps are useless for us. I come here for the expertise, the experience, and the maps/models which I dont have access to. Hope you guys can help a fellow weenie out. TIA! -
Missed South...missed North...now looks like missing east! I'd take a dusting and be happy with this one.

46 and the sun just came out here. We are supposed to be right on the line of freezing precip, other than an interesting weather weekend, I dont think we get anything frozen at all. We are in the Winter weather watch though. -
THIS! Crackin me up girl! Not less than 8 hours ago we were gonna get dumped on here. Its already shifting north, warmer, less qpf, warm nose, suppressed, BLAH BLAH BLAH. Climo baby....CLIMO!!!!!! The only chance we are ever gonna have for more than a few inches of snow is a setup like The Superstorm of 93. Storm of the century! Last time I checked we got another 70-80 years to go.

Any weather App is really only good for two things. Telling you what is happening right now, and giving you a vague idea about possible precip within the next two to three days. I see folks planning things a week out using them and ive stopped trying to show or tell them how messed up that is. No one understands that there isnt a team of PEOPLE working daily/hourly to update it. I've stopped pointing out to family and friends how different several apps can be for pretty much everything! Its actually not extremely difficult to learn a tiny bit about pressure systems and fronts and how they interact at different times of the year to do your own predicting in a general sense.

Dont look now, but take a look at some of the models for next week......

Im gonna layoff until friday afternoon

I still see quite a few models showing temps and dewpoints really low at 2m here for Sat/Sun. Like temps in the mid 20s! Forecast now showing mostly rain here south of ATL. Something ain't adding up.

Thrasher, Notice who has been left out of all that!

Roger that Suzook!!!!

Agree with Thrasher. Please include the entire SE on the model maps. Thx!

Im gonna call it, very low probability of a severe ice event where we are, south of ATL. Really looking like a nice pretty glaze. I dont think we will be cold enough at the lower levels long enough to get much accumulation at all here. Im not saying storm cancel, but Im gonna stick with this. Typical climo here supports it too.

Stebany, Air travel will be completely crippled, I.E. completely stopped by an ice event such as this. Anywhere there is ice like we currently see forecast we basically cannot fly. De-icing fails in these types of conditions so expect massive cancellations for airports in the path of any sleet/Ice event. Its likely going to impact RDU/CLT/ATL and a bunch of other airports. Its possible that she will make it in, but most airlines will severely thin/cut operations into places where the aircraft and crews might get stuck. I'd also expect huge delays after the event for Delta as ATL being the main hub is going to be severely impacted. Takes days to put crews and aircraft back into the schedule with these types of disruption. Bottom line, doesnt mean she wont make it, but the odds are probably not good. If she has the option to go earlier in the day I'd do it.
