Here it comes! Big snow event for the D-FW area! Up to 7 inches of snow. Can't believe everyone here isn't all excited about it. Only 12 days out.

Hey, it's better that 14 days out. I am all in!!!!

[wxman57]

I'm confident that the GFS is correct, this time!

I'll be in Orlando for work from the 13th-16th. I need this pushed back 2 days, please and thank you. If I miss the first snow event in 4+ years for DFW while I'm in Florida I'm going to need to be committed.

[wxman57]

Oh well, never mind about the snow storm for D-FW around mid month. False alarm. Sunny and mild instead. What a surprise...

Long range GFS continues to show brutally cold air building in Canada and slipping into the Northern plains starting in 8-10 days onward. It would not be hard to imagine a chunk of this arctic air dislodging south in the second half of January but we shall see.

It looks to stay locked up there. Not much southern movement. What’s causing that?

Bit of a bust with the short range models in how the radar would look like further east of where the heaviest rains were forecasted. We've gotten a lot more rain than what was being predicted.

No you're not. Only when the long range models show heat are you confident

A very strong - PNA index. This pattern features deep troughing over the western U.S., which allows cold air from western Canada to drain southward into this region. In the eastern U.S., warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean is able to travel northward, often resulting in above normal temperatures and more humid conditions, and this is is generally occuring right now, and forecast to continue for the next 10-14 days.

Wxman 57, do you have an off day from work today? Just curious.

At least we're sort of seasonal here

It's nearly 80 in coastal Carolina

But it looks like the pattern will be stuck through mid month

Oh and I thought we wanted a -PNA lol

I was looking at the Great Lakes ice report and nearly 100% of all 5 lakes are ice free. Small pockets of ice exist but that is it. Amazing for this time of year. Winter hasn't shown up in a lot of places.

It's amazing how stable the D11 Super Ensemble Analog Composite has been over the past week.

Anyone see the forecasted highs next week along the east coast? Widespread 70's reaching close to Philadelphia.

yeah so glad I'm going to Lake Tahoe instead of back up the east coast again next week. May not be as snowy as it could be but at least there will be snow

In regards to the PNA, a slightly negative to neutral is our sweet spot for storms and not letting the coldest air slide east
