Mid-Long Range Discussion 2026

[Coach McGuirk]

My guess this is an eastern Mid-Atlantic Snowstorm.  Might be a little too warm for snow at the start.  That's why I'm thinking maybe an inch here.

You're definitely sitting better than us on the Southside

Almost the entire southeast is now in severe drought with extreme drought quickly expanding.  Last weekends rain did very little and this week drying up has turned away yet another opportunity to dent the drought. We could really use a gfs-like scenario for drought relief with Sundays system

The GFS is either gonna score a huge win on this or its gonna be an embarrassment... unreal how much snow its putting out now. I can't imagine being a met around those parts making a forecast

It has been a La-Nina winter.  Hopefully we get more rain during the growing season.

Not by much.  I can see this storm going up the east coast and leaving us with nothing.  It's too warm to start.

I wonder if the GFS is once again way overdoing the qpf like it did for the 1/25 storm. Some runs had 3”+ of qpf at ATL just a few days in advance but they ended up with only 0.85”. If so, it would likely gradually reduce it from run to run.
