That is a thing of beauty, no doubt. It really is too bad such setups and storms are so rare around here. I think we all know there's almost no chance a storm, even remotely, like this will happen, but it does show potnetial for the upcoming time period for something. Let's hope most of us will see snow sometime over the next few weeks.

GSP reached 71 today. CAE reached 76, its 4th day this month reaching 75 or higher. CAE has not been below 60 since Sat morning, and the forecast low for tonight is just 62. This is plain crazy land. The pattern change can't get here soon enough!

That Low is in a PERFECT spot for many. Too bad that High isn't placed better. Love to see highs over NE and NY with that low placement!

I'll completely pass on an ice storm. If its sleet that's fine and I'll take that but no zr. Zr is pretty for a but you can have zero fun with it. Jus the leaves a mess with no redeeming quality. Snow, sleet, or nothing please.

So sorry for you FLW. Weather here stinks sometimes but I feel for you FL/S. GA peeps!

Absolute firehose pointed at the mid south today, wow. I'm not sure how much more rain many areas can take. The overflow drains for the ponds in my neighborhood have been flowing 24/7 for days now and it just keeps coming.

I'd give up any and all snow for quite awhile to see that evil team go down. GEAUX LSU!

Yesterday, GSP recorded it's first 70 degree reading since Oct 31st. 69.6 IMBY.

Expected to be in the mid 60s today, so far high is 57.6. Another .81 of rain from the never ending firehouse. Already at 6.3 in for the month.

What a beautiful day But it feels like May How I wish it would wait Till a day in May For outside to feel this way

Wow, feels like May out here. Gotta be close to 70. This is crazy. Still relatively cool across 90% of the country, even MS is in the 40s. Gee, lucky us

It looks like that curves back into the circle, then probably back into phases 3 and 4, completely bypassing the colder phases of 8,1, and 2 no? That's not at all what we want to see going into Feb. Just a couple days ago we saw it modeled with a much wider arc into 7 looking to go into 8. If this is correct well have a very short window and that could be it.

I'm completely confused. I didn't think we were supposed to see the sun at all today but there literally isn't a cloud to be seen! Plus, my low was supposed to only 53 but made down to 46. Not complaining, cooler and drier is a win win in my book!

Just my two cents on the upcoming possible pattern change; love the trends and we've certainly waited for our turn. Couple things I'm looking for; really interested to see where the southeast ridge and resulting storm track sets up; that's been a huge deal breaker for us for years now. Lots of Highs showing up on maps for that time period, as many as 6 or 7 on some maps. That would really lend itself to overrunning Miller A types which would help more of the board, so lets see if that continues. Also, I'm temepering any excitement until at least Wed of next week. Let's get the time period within 5 days to get a better sense of where we're heading. Track on.

CAE not forecast to go below 60 again until Wed night, when a crisp 58 rolls in.

Same here. Temp rose overnight from 53to 61. Average low for me is 28!

I know a lot of us will be watching ahead looking for the possible pattern change, but man, oh man, at the coming setup. NWS has my low over the next 7 days at 51! Not sure I've ever seen a week like this in January before, at least not for that long of a stretch. Highs 15-20 above normal and lows 20-25 above! Severe weather and possible tornadoes for much of the SE, rain and storms all the way from upper midwest through New England. This is totally nuts.

I think the high North of that would be your blocking high with the low you're ralking about acting as the 50/50 low, though it would be better a bit South of there. The high over Maine is the cold air source. One would think the Missouri low would be a bit South of there, or at least push SE from there with the high, though I think we want a high in the 1040 range and the low over LA instead. That particular look (though obviously fantasy at this range) looks to put most of us in the warm sector looking for ZR if anything. IDK, maybe Grit or Wow or someone better than me could chime in?

Without looking outside, I knew it was getting cloudy. Temps risen 4 degrees the past couple of hours from 43 to 47

Yep. Hard to track worms and storms, but I don't think I have ever seen that storm myth pan out.

BTW, I think this is a total myth and there's nothing to it, but thought some of you would appreciate that I saw a woolly worm today. It was black on both ends but sold brown in the middle half. Cold in Nov and cold Feb following warm Dec/Jan?

I think we need that western ridge a little taller and a few hundred miles further west to help dig that low just a bit more. Also, like to see the high hang back a few hundred miles, more in tandem (just ahead of) with the low (maybe back in MIZZ). Actually this would be excellent placement if we had a secondary high back north of the low. This looks in danger of getting pushed out unless that's a 50/50 low in the corner to help keep it anchored. It's also telling that a 1043 is that close yet the 540 bar is barely below. Haven't looked at temps but that tells me it's pretty marginal cold. Awesome to have something at least showing up within the ten day. This will change a hundred times so let's see if we can get this potential to show up inside 5 days.

When clown maps no longer have any pink on them...

My son loves those things, just put some flavoring on em
