@Matthew70, I am reminded that you consistently said not to cancel winter.  Just a little thank you card from me.

@Carvers GapThank You!  I know yesterday I got under a few skins.  I honestly when I made the comment about Bam winning the lottery.  I was just making fun of him.  It was poor judgment & for that I apologize.  It’s nice to have a forum like this that everyone looks past our slip ups. I would never not cheer on everyone to get snow.  Snow is magical!  As I have gotten older I try to always remember we don’t know what that individual is going thru on the other end.  I try to always these days show grace.  I appreciate you & many others  very much in this forum. I appreciate this forum helping others learn & keeping us updated. We look to have chances at the best possible time to score snow.

Does anyone want to hear the 12z Euro is trying to snow on the gulf and Florida beaches again at day 9?  It's going to nail this at day 9, isn't it?  lol

They can have snow as long as we get snow also.  Sharing is caring right?

Guess it's time to go back to tropical convection and strat observing.

SOI dropped today for the first time in a long time. Sometimes you'll see people talk about SOI drops and storms with a lot of precip. across the southern tier of the US, but the current one managed it with a pretty positive Nina like SOI for the past month. 

 

Anyway:

Nah. Nobody is worried about it.  You are one of us, man.  Get in there and sling it.  Just be yourself.  You aren't saying anything that the rest of us aren't thinking!!!!

Globals are not warm for next Thursday.  I agree w/ @tnweathernut and others that this is a time to watch.  It is very rare to get that type of cold without precip on the front edge of that type of front.  It happens, but about 90% of the time there is high ratio stuff when this rolls in.  Real feels. Again, with some snow under that...some locals may make a run at record lows which I thought were pretty safe.  The GEM is the "warm model."  Now let that sink in.

GFS: "Sorry I got your hopes up this weekend"
Also the GFS: "HEY LOOK OVER HERE!"

It does a weird Fujiwhara effect with the northern energy before combining and reaching up the coast. Interesting run to day the least.

Oh yeah I don't buy it for a second lol but the Euro did have a similar setup, just looked like maybe a little too much separation to pull off the phase (wouldn't that be a slap in the face after this weekend's storm?). I think the 00z Euro last night had it too

Now the GFS gives southern Louisiana across Mobile, and all of the Florida panhandle 8-12 inches of snow with 0 warm nose issues 150 miles north of the low. Yet here we see 850s shoot to 50 degrees with a low 1000 miles south of us. It finishes off with a band of ocean effect snow that sends 2-4 inches from Tampa Bay down towards south Central Florida.

While this clearly shows that the GFS probably needs to be decommissioned and a new model launched in its place, I wouldn't be shocked if it came true.

GFS is consistent with another storm signal in a week. One run warm nosed - apparently always a possibility. The rest are all snow. Euro will find it again.

Random cold air thoughts. Being from the Plains we ALWAYS locked in shallow cold harder than models. I tried that a few times in East Tenn. Learned real quick I'm not in Kansas anymore. Warm nose wins in the Great Valley. Then east of the Apps right back to cold wins, bigly CAD right up there with Denver. Amazing.

Sunscreen kidding aside, we have a former NWS guy at our church.  Long retired.   He told me 15 years ago this area was probably one of the most difficult areas to forecast in North America.

It is harder than the Plains; and, that's a high bar.

When someone in the Northeast says they got it hard I laugh in their face. Y'all been looking at it for 3-4 days inside the US! Models got it onshore those same days ahead. I will concede the coastal front is hard - and has crushed many a snow lover hearts.

My God the 12z GFS is so beautiful if only it wasn’t the GFS and was 72 hours out instead of 210. 

Lol...accidentally hit the wrong time hour looking on this current setup and about fell out of my chair....then realized it wasn't a certain year in the 1990's
