From Ryan Maue

Just exclaimed to an esteemed colleague how gobsmacking it was to see -40°C contour at 500 mb over Indiana on November 10th -- so unlikely to be nearly impossible in 2025 let alone 175-years ago in 1850.

Historic cold -- we get to experience the pre-industrial climate in 2025!

This is extremely impressive. 20251105_180436.jpg

Absolutely amazing ! Guaranteed heavy duty lake effect. Expect Models to uptick Snow Forcasted Amounts if this continues showing up until game time. Also, possibly a Synoptic Snow event as well.

Maybe an SSW but in general I like seeing the PV in a weakened state. We really don't need an SSW for blocking. Keep the PV weak and we will get our chances. This would lead us into December. 20251105_180019.jpg20251105_180030.jpg

Agree completely.. sometimes a SSW Event can foul up a good Pattern.

This is interesting.

Model data continues to struggle with extended range cold fronts.

Week 1 GWHDDs running 25+ points colder than forecast for the next 7 days this time last week.

Operational data has performed slightly better. This might be a case where the "colder" GFS has some merit for week 2.20251106_091014.jpg20251106_091017.jpg

Currently 45 with a very loud thunderstorm and rain/graupel in Wolf.

The 0z high res Canadian and 3km nam are looking good along the border for Sunday night and Monday.

Hopefully the Canadian will be right. 3k looks rather paltry.

Overnight Euro looks really good. Looks to start fast and furious around midnight Monday morning. This looks like a classic mid-winter upslope snow event. I do think there will be spots that see close to a foot especially right along the border. It's going to be very windy, temps will crash, and this will feel like January. sn10_acc-imp.us_ma.jpg

The GFS finally has shifted the secondary cold core upper low south into the Mountains. That secondary feature has the potential for a heavy burst of snow that could break containment and spill into the foothills. 

Finally having to the Euro. Euro has done well this week.

I’m looking forward to it. *When* we get the containment breakers, my location tends to do pretty well. It never accumulates but typically some solid flizzard action.

Definitely fun for you border guys !!!

From GSP, a little snippet:

Tight pressure gradient (4-6mb)
with ongoing snow and dynamical features aloft will support sporadic
blizzard conditions at the highest elevations (>4000`) along the
immediate Tennessee border. Soundings from the CAMs are picking up
on very shallow instability, which should only increase snowfall
rates, especially in the favorable upslope areas in the Smokies,
northern Madison County, and the Roan Mountain area. Perhaps an
instance of thunder snow can`t be ruled out either, but good luck
finding the exact location where this might occur
