SnowDawg Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 16 minutes ago, olafminesaw said: Am I looking at this right that the northern energy and baja energy are moving closer together and therefore phasing sooner leading to a more amplified solution? What makes the GFS different in this regard? Yeah in general that’s it. Technically in this scenario they are actually both slowing down and phasing later timing wise, but further west nonetheless. I think if we are going to have a phase, a quicker one is the better of the two evils cause at least the TPV and HP won’t be retreating by then.

GaWx Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 19 minutes ago, suzook said: Anyone have the latest Euro sleet/ice map? GA specifically please Unfortunately for the ATL area, the atmosphere on the 12Z Euro has warmed notably vs the prior 2 runs, especially at/near 850 mb. Thus, the WxBell Euro’s ptype, which is clearly almost all ZR even without looking at soundings, isn’t debatable. The 12Z Euro has ~2.3” qpf of wintry precip, with the vast majority being ZR, falling over a 36 hour period from hour 99 (10 AM Sat 1/24) til hour 135 (10 PM Sun 1/25). The coldest is from Sat evening through the entire night with mid 20s. Fortunately it’s still out 4-5.5 days and obviously a lot can change. This as well as recent runs are in the ballpark of worst case scenarios for there, a colder version of Jan 1973 (which was only barely <32). So, keep hope alive as just about any change would be better than what this run shows. As ominous as this is, it still being out 4-5.5 days leaves notable opportunity for improvement from the worst case. @dsaur 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha that makes sense, that's why the thermals were so much worse with the intial WAA precip, because of the retreating high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY_WX Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 This is just complete model porn if you've researched and tracked these things for 25 years. Just absolutely SICK looking 500mb chart. I have NEVER seen one look this good for our area (GA/SC/NC) from just a general winter storm perspective, regardless of where you find yourself in the precip type category. Definitely soak in this next week. 10 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup and this statement and its been a while since Warning criteria was met around for most. All this to say, confidence on p-types remains low but confidence of getting warning criteria snow/sleet and/or ice accumulations is increasing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve kinda been flippy floppy tho last several runs going north then south then north again. Guess we’ll see what shakes here. I’m hoping you guys get at least a solid 5-8 or 6-10 before WAA were to ever hit. You def deserve it. Nice to see the board so active. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADB83 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Sitting in Winston-Salem feels like a good spot. Obviously gonna be some ice in there, but should get a decent front end snow. It’s been a while. It’s going to be fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously gonna be some ice in there, but should get a decent front end snow. It’s been a while. It’s going to be fun. Also sitting near Winston Salem. Stick around a few model runs and you may not feel like this will be fun. I think our chances of cold, quiet and dark are greater than white fluffy snow and sledding at this point. Mis-time this phase and we wave to our snow as it heads off into the abyss, or wherever all the snow goes that we seem to be missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
