  1. Evidently, the CMC is gonna require paperwork as well for viewing....Departures from normal on the 23rd. This is what happens if a storm deepens to our east. ALL of that cold heads our way.
  2. Check out Greenland(-65F) late in the CMC run. I told ya'll that you needed to sign a waiver....
  3. The CMC has a 1060hp coming south around 204 in the NW Territories. Those are some big numbers for highs and gives us a sense of what modeling is "seeing" at 12z. With wild swings in modeling, I have no idea if this holds....but there is certainly a mechanism in place to drive that cold all the way to the GOM w/ the double block in place.
  4. The 12z CMC does have a decent set-up. If one buys that the GFS has a progressive nature(IDK w/ the new upgrade), the CMC looks like a decent compromise.
  5. It comes down the front range and heads eastward....pipe buster right there.
  6. You know...it doesn't show much sign of letting up. I keep looking for a thaw. Right now, a thaw might be just getting back into the 50s. If the GFS/CMC get anywhere near to verifying, that would freeze rivers. If we managed snow on the front end...it isn't going anywhere. The surprise in all of this is seeing the PNA begin to rule the roost (had to borrow that term...) longer term. That is a very cold North American pattern showing up. Remember when all of us were like, "Where is the cold air with that much blocking up top?" There it is. And extreme cold shots are certainly part of the Nina toolbox for sure. It could certainly go dry. The recent pattern has been drought until last week. I would not be shocked to see an EC blizzard at the front end of this pattern or as it relaxes.
  7. Yes, that is correct. The further that snow pace gets, the colder that air is gonna be. @John1122 is that a record high pressure over Montana if it verifies?
  8. So the take away from 12z so far is this.....Remember when the polar vortex got trapped under the block, but modeling lost it?
  9. Again, I would be chomping at the bit if I lived along (and northwest of) a line from Memphis to Nashville. That said, that doesn't rule out winter wx in E TN. The track around Dec 20th will need to be watched - slider city if it comes northward. It is suppressed right now, but that could change. All caveats apply for our subtropical latitude. I think the possibilities of an overrunning event are still there. "Where" is the question
  10. The 6z GEFS(all caveats apply), 0z EPS, 0z CMC, and CFSv2 are showing temps 20+ BN around Christmas. Impressive to have that ten days out on ensembles. Would not surprise me to see middle and west TN well into the single digits. E TN will get quite cold as well. IF the SER flexes into that air mass....look out.
  11. In regards to early season storms, we have been playing with house money in E TN for the past decade or so. Climatology doesn't really support snow here until late December. On the flip, Nina does support colder Decembers here. So far, everything we are seeing is fairly text book La Nina...dry fall(drought, followed by rain increasing during winter, cutters on modeling which favor middle and western forum areas,,,, For E TN to score, we need the cold to continue to press eastward. The Greenland block "should" support storms going to our south. Then, it is just a crapshoot as to where it curves northeast(if it does at all). Lots of solutions available in modeling still. The cold pattern is about 8 days later than originally modeled, but it is on it way it appears. I think the real action occurs is when the PNA pops out west in conjunction w/ the NAO. Oddly, we need to see the SER flexing its muscle just enough.
  12. The 12z Euro and 12z GFS are in agreement for d9-10? LOL. Pattern is loaded up in about ten days(where have we heard that before?!). In all seriousness, it does look good. I have said for a while, I like the Plateau westward for this. But last tnwxnut stated, just depends on where the boundary sets up.
  13. Textbook La Nina storm track....I couldn't draw it up any better. The upcoming wx pattern is just screaming for that track.
  14. I will be glad to share some GFS/GEFS stuff, but we probably should have everyone sign a waiver before viewing them. LOL. The 18z CFSv2 says, "What January thaw?"
  15. Oh yeah, for sure. Looks like our best chances are the week prior to Christmas and maybe just after.
  16. The 18z GFS is trying to turn out my power on Christmas Eve-eve. The GFS is again advertising an over-running event. No idea if I trust the model, but it has had some consistency in showing that run to run. My guess is that will shift to middle and west...but who knows with that block suppressing things.
  17. Jump right in. We need more folks from middle and west TN. Looks like a nice set-up incoming. Models are going to understandably have a difficult time. Euro hangs-up the cold in the Plains - I think the cold gets further east and I would think its ensemble will show that. This is the type of signal we saw when west TN got hammered a few years back.
  18. Boundary will be difficult to predict at this range, but that is a gradient storm look on the Euro.
  19. Looks like it may get shunted across the mid-gulf States. That looks a lot like the 12z GFS.
  20. 12z Euro at 150 is the setup. No idea if this run delivers, but that is a good look. Precip building over TX. Boundary over the upper south.
