Thaw...did we ever know ya?

 

.SHORT TERM...(Tonight and Tuesday)...
After a mostly sunny day clouds were beginning to increase in the
northwest as a 500 MB vorticity maximum moving through the back
side of the trough heads toward the eastern Tennessee Valley and
southern Appalchians. Ahead of this system temperatures have
warmed nicely into the mid 40s northeast to mid and upper 50s
southwest. North to northwest winds have increased with cold air
advection and drier airmass with the trough moving down from the
NW. The relative humidity values have dropped to less than 40
percent as dew points have dropped into the 20s. Tonight NW winds
at 850 mb of 25 to 30 knots combined with low level moisture with
the system will cause some good upslope snow showers. In the lower
elevations the precipitation will begin as rain then switch to
snow before or after midnight. Only slight accumulations expected
across lower elevations. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches
possible...locally higher highest elevations. The lows tonight
will fall into the 20s...teens higher mountains. Tuesday will be
much colder with highs in the 30s to lower 40s. Clouds will
decrease rapidly...lingering in the morning in the eastern
Tennessee mountains. Will update advisory shortly.

.LONG TERM...(Tuesday night through Sunday)...
It looks like a couple of systems impact the forecast area
through the long term. After a dry Wednesday, a deepening, broad
long wave trough drives east across the Eastern U.S. dragging
colder air into the region. A band of deeper moisture will be
lifted in the presence of the front generating rain showers.
Temperatures will be dropping behind the boundary and some of the
precipitation may mix with and change over to some snow as the
back edge of the precipitation shield exits Thursday night into
Friday. Dry advection builds in later in the day Friday into the
first half of the weekend, however the next wave will be rapidly
building east through the plains into the Mississippi Valley with
moisture riding over the relatively cooler air at the surface.
Model solutions not entirely on the same page with this feature,
but the resident airmass may not have enough time to moderate
prior to the arrival of this second half of the weekend system.
Therefore, there will be the possibility of mixed precipitation as
colder air fills in behind the departing surface low late Sunday
through Sunday night. Kept some wintery precipitation in the
region through Monday in a broad brush fashion. Certainly, as we
move forward in time, the late work week and late weekend system
will come into better focus in terms of system strength, position
and the temperature scheme which will determine the amount of
winter precipitation experienced.

18z gfs has a warm nose half the way up the valley if we going get snow when it shows I hope it looses the warm air over the next few days on future models ill take the euro totals any day. gfs gives me a ice storm in loudon county.
Looking at the features, that isn't as bad a set up as it may look on the precip maps for the eastern valley. NE wind down the eastern valley for most of the event, starts predawn as snow. I would take that any day of the week and twice on sunday!

Just hope we get this storm and it's not another miss we get to many misses here.

Weeklies Update.  Winter is with us through the first week of March....then we break fast for Spring.  As noted earlier...it is very rare to see cold springs during Nina ENSO states.  The big warm-up over eastern NA fits w Nina climb.  But if February is right...we will gladly accept the warmth!

-Basically the Euro M-Climate Weeklies show 5 weeks of cold beginning now.  

-After d35ish...the 500 pattern shifts the trough West, but there is a ton of energy taking the low road.  

-On a minor note, make sure to take a parka to the Yucatan or Cuba if traveling there.

-The “normal” temp mean on the Weeklies.... That is a major cold signal.  And what is awesome, the cold is centered over the GL which would imply that plenty of systems will slide under that trough.

-And teleconnections....The -EPO has been the driver all season.  It has saved our rear ends.  As soon as it goes positive, game is up.  Another winter w the NAO going AWOL.

The end of the weekend is really looking interesting


.

Yes it is.  Trailer systems that don't allow the cold to be scoured are fun to track.  Definitely has my attention after MRX noted it yesterday.  I am pretty excited about the next four weeks.  Then, I am ready to take my morning runs in the warm air of spring.  But for the next four weeks, I hope Mother Nature just lets it rip.

Euro abandons ship again with the Thursday night system. Hammers counties that border Kentucky from north of Nashville east, and Virginia with 4-8 inches of snow Saturday night into Sunday with a sharp cutoff towards I-40.  Not going to trust it to be correct, as it's struggling mightily lately.

I will take that run in a heart beat!
