For sure. More or less the same. Not good trends today but we still have time. it's actually quite common to have storms disappear due to suppression squashing them into the Gulf. Probably just as common as the NW trend leading to rain rather than snow. Kinda makes sense with all the big rex block, and positive tilt
Yeah it's definitely quite warm at the surface right now but if the coastal can get going it's got a shot. Problem is these late blooming coastals have been slow to develop and supressed all winter.
Absolutely good storm tracks and the 540 line nearby they whole run. Of course 0Z was much less enthusiastic, so as you say we really need this to get inside 5 days to take seriously
Even including the Dec 2018 snowstorm in the data, the last 5 years have been abysmal, with 38% lower than normal snow over that span. Mor than half of the snowfall in the last 5 years came from the 2018 storm
For sure. it's currently 21/11 in Birmingham Alabama. Little Rock has been below freezing since Saturday afternoon. Also the projected difference in temps between just east of the mountains and just west is wild for tomorrow morning. Negative teens in Eastern TN and teens here, or 52 degrees below average in TN and 15 degrees below average here
Yeah I'm really getting deja vu on this one so that's not a good feeling. But I do think the orientation and Eastward progression of the cold air is better this time.
Looking rather toasty around day 10-14. But signs of another pattern change after. We need a hard reset for early February anyway. Anything after the first week of February is normally drippy slop, which I'm not really about
The first system is more of a threat up close to the VA border. No matter where the band of snow falls it's going to be relatively light and unlikely to accumulate outside the mountains. The second threat looks actually somewhat promising for the coast where they may end up with a surprise inch or two due to better moisture/dynamics.. unless we can trend towards a stronger system, the triad may be left high and dry on this one
