    Who knows. It changes every run. Right now we need to get the cold and its probably going to take at least one more cutter to get there. Once the pattern change comes into its own hopefully the potential of the pattern shown on the ensembles bears fruit. That 6z run did end on one heck of a cliffhanger. if it went to 400 we'd either have seen a fantasy foot across the valley or a painful cutter.

    The Euro Ensemble isn't quite what the GEFS is but its not terribly far off on snowfall output. The Euro OP popped a big East based -NAO. Not the best look for here compared to a west based NAO but better for the western Valley than the Eastern. The midwest does best in east based NAO events. Cutters or Apps runners or Bs are more favored. The Euro has a Rockies ridge that manages to keep the entire SE cold. Normally the Apps and East have AN temps with the east based NAO.

    GEFS still has some good potential for a lot of us. 1.5 inch mean all the way back to Memphis and 2 in Northern Alabama is pretty nice.

    GFS keeps the pattern change but doesn't do us any favors regarding winter precip really. Gets cold, warms up and rains, gets cold. I believe Dec 1983 was the ultimate for that. We would get below 0 cold, warm up and rain, then go below 0 again.

    That area is strangely susceptible to tornadoes. They had one on Halloween night. There's been one tornado in my county since 1935 and it was on the ground here for about 1 mile before crossing into Claiborne Co, but Claiborne gets a ton of tornadoes by comparison.
  6. John1122
    Yep. The tornado history site counted them as Tennessee F5. I believe 3 of the F4 also started outside of Tennessee on there so not sure if they were F4 in the state or not. The other 29 F4 formed in Tennessee.

    I believe the tornado history site mistakenly counted this one and one from the April 1974 outbreak that crossed from Northern Alabama into Tennessee.

    Strong wind and heavy rain, but didn't seem to actually have lightning or thunder here.
  9. John1122
    There have been 92 F3, 32 F4 and 3 F5 in Tennessee.

    Euro builds a block in the Atlantic but a giant Rockies ridge and N Pacific trough. Not great look for us, better for the areas east of the Apps. Far far perfer a better Pacific.

    68 here today, about as warm as it ever gets in January. Rain is getting close, probably won't make 70.
  12. John1122
    Pretty good snow mean again on the GEFS.
  13. John1122
    Still cold but not as cold on the 00z GFS. Active southern stream too, about all you can hope for in late January.
  14. John1122
    You can get better than those indices but not much better and its really rare. We can definitely work with a neutral NAO with the EPO and PNA working for us.

    The GFS has thrown us all a bone in the past 24-36 hours. The 18z even bullseyes Chattanooga. Plenty of moisture likely, plenty of cold possible. The eternal struggle in the area is getting them to meet.

    The MJO takes a trip from 7 to 8 at pretty high amplitude on the GEFS, 7 into the 8 cod on the Euro. CPC notes that the GEFS is usually too amped in the western Pacific, the Euro too weak, so says to split the difference, which would be low amplitude 7-8. If we can have a stocked up Canada with cold, that should produce fireworks of the wintry variety.
  17. John1122
    Of course the Euro throws a turd in the punch bowl. Ugly Pacific. None of the blocking the GFS/GGEM shows.
  18. John1122
    Kuchera through the end of the GFS is just monster to crusher over 50 miles east to west. Looks like maybe an inch in Nashville but 10 in Cookeville. probably 4 or 5 in Murfreesboro. Just west of Nashville a dusting or bare ground. Eastern areas 12+, even near 10 in Chattanooga, 6-8 over alot of Alabama, even 12ish towards Atlanta that run. About 5 runs in a row with various areas getting major winter weather but with precip and temps.
  19. John1122
    Goodness.
  20. John1122
    The GFS must have ran off EPS member 50. Buries Plateau and east. Unfortunately high and dry for the western areas for the most part. Not that its likely to play out as modeled. But lots of cold, storm signals abound and massive Pacific blocking.
  21. John1122
    00z GFS is showing the negative side of massive blocking in the valley. Gulf coast areas see frozen while we are cold and dryish.
  22. John1122
    It's speeding up through 4-5. Going high into 7 has a high correlation to 8-1. Lots of SE winter storms happen in 7 and 8.
  23. John1122
    Break out the vodka. This is noon/1pm temps.
  24. John1122
    Weeklies say goodbye to the heat after this next 7 days or so. After that it's BN to N for the rest of the run.
  25. John1122
    My snow depth on the 23rd is 24 inches on member 50, dang compacting.
