If only we had the technology on a global scale to convert this additional OHC into usable energy. I am sure some think-tank is already working on it.

At around 2:30, you can see large debris being lofted. This is clearly a large tornado, and that descending motion is real. Horizontal vortexes are not uncommon with well developed tornadoes.

Welcome back home man. We have missed ya.

It's not only the energy from the state change, it's also the reflected energy that we are losing. Open water will suck up all the sun's energy. It does't look good for any recovery that we all hoped would happen. September better hurry up and get here.

Robert was our go-to Met on this board for many years. He is excellent with winter weather in our part of the world. However, I really wasn't into severe weather back then. So, I can't comment on his severe forecast, but I would not bet against it right now.

If things stay the same, I expect we'll see a high risk with this one. The SPC day 1 criteria for high risk (45% with sig severe) would be reached.

Looks like a doorway to the underworld.... scary stuff.

December 8-10, 2018 Winter Storm
CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
The FV3's track for the storm was spot on for a week out. Almost unheard of. It did not get the thermals exactly right but hey, for it to be that close at that range is great to see. I would give it a solid A -

Of course, if you already have snow on the ground. If you don't have a snow cover, it will be rate dependent. -

That line is not oriented in the right direction to rob us. Plenty of QPF coming. -

Yes it is.... I would not want to be a forecaster at the NWS in GSP today. So many possibilities to consider. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
Yep, just looking at soundings, it has temps just above freezing at the 700mb -825mb level last run it was right at 0C. Is it right? .... who knows at this point. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
Not going to buy into that run unless other models follow suit. We are getting to the time now when the higher resolution models will be taking center stage. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
It has trended south from yesterday's runs, but still playing catch-up. Don't worry, by tonight the models will likely converge. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
I was thinking that this would happen, when I saw the south trends last night. That increases our chances of staying all snow, but it reduces the totals. I'll take that in a heartbeat. -

It has done quite well in the past. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
Then I can't explain why it would show "sleet and snow" with that sounding. -
December 8-10, 2018 Winter Storm
CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
Nope, not the same. Snow requires saturation in the -12C through -17C layer. Sleet does not. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
Well, that's the only way you can get sleet with that sounding. -

CAD_Wedge_NC replied to Orangeburgwx's topic in Southeastern States
Because you don't have complete saturation in the dendric growth zone.
