January 25/26 Jimbo Back Surgery Storm

[Brick Tamland]

Wouldn't be surprised to see the models go father south with the storm the next couple of days and then come back north a couple of days later.

I want to ignore this thread until Saturday morning, I really do. I know I can't.

The Google model looks good.

[GaWx]

 Forecasted indices for 1/24-6:

1. PNA rises from neutral to moderate +
2. AO strong -
3. NAO moderate -  
4. EPO rises from a very strong - to moderate -; despite the moderation, the lagging from the prior very strong -EPO in combo with a rising PNA and with the help of a -AO/-NAO is why extreme cold will be dropping into the C/E US.
5. WPO pretty strong -
6. MJO: GEFS has 7 while EPS has mainly 8

 So, overall the indices are just about as good as it gets for cold and thus storm potential.

Edit: Due to the huge amount of blocking, this time there may not be the typical NW trend as we get closer. In other words, the models a few days out may already be closer to reality assuming there actually is a storm.

ICON looks great for NC.

10:1 ratio

 

[Brick Tamland]

Rates would be higher than 10:1 according to the Kuchera.

This could be a devastating ice storm somewhere.  Hope not but it doesn’t look good.

Will it be 1 or 2 waves? Lots to be resolved  

[Brick Tamland]

GFS looks like it could be 2 rounds. First one a little further south for southern past of NC and in SC. Looks like another wave behind it 

[JoshM]

Beautiful... Temps in the teens in NC during most of this

[Brick Tamland]

Second wave go boom in NC!

[Brick Tamland]

This run is going to be crazy.

[Thrasher Fan]

0z GFS maintains. Absurd and also concerning.

[Brick Tamland]

[WiseWeather]

I only get 5…. We toss.

0z GFS is a Big Winter Storm with more Snow and Less ICE 

[wncsnow]

Canadian is a major winter storm too. 

[Brick Tamland]

[NC_hailstorm]

Canadian is a tick slower with the cold press,but does eventually go sleet/snow.Still a good thump.

[BornAgain13]

0z Canadian. Big Winter Storm 

[Brick Tamland]

Yeah. Canadian started out as rain and then delivered a crush job.

[BornAgain13]

Snowing hard on the GFS/Canadian with temperatures around 15 degrees here taken verbatim.
