Well, GFS is looking real good folks!!! MEGA KUDOS to the GFS on its persistence in showing this particular arctic outbreak well before Christmas.
I will get into this later and how even in situations like this when you don't have a classic -NAO, the -AO +PNA teleconnection can still bring significant cold IF we have cold arctic air already in place, which is the case now across the Northern Tier of the CONUS. That cold air will flood southward the next 7-10 days.
6Z GFS showing a prolonged period of arctic cold all the way into next weekend (1-5 -1/7). We will get another re inforcement by Thursday of next week.
Also, I touched on this in the Deep South Thread, but 6Z GFS is showing a chance of wintry mix of precip in the Jax area late on New Year's Day into Sunday night as the arctic or filters into the area as a Low Pressure system moves off the SE US coast by early Tuesday (1/2)
We have been so extremely lucky escaping these arctic outbreaks going back to 2010. However, it is looking now that our number is finally being called out big time by Mother Nature and Old Man Winter is coming!!!
More later...
