Accumulating snow possible (New Years timeframe)
This period looks like the best we have seen yet for accumulating snow so figured we might need a seperate thread. We will even have several teleconnections on our side and cold air looks to be readily available for any waves of low pressure that may ride up an arctic boundary!
This arctic boundary could possibly stall out right over the area somewhere and that could mean epic snow for whoever is just to the northwest of it with freezing rain and rain for whoever is just south of it. If it does indeed stall...MULTIPLE waves of low pressure (that models wouldnt even have picked up on just yet) could ride a STALLED arctic boundary but that part is just speculation right now.
Its hard to say how the arctic airmass positions itself cause guidance models are really having a rough time due to several different aspects. Right now there is two trackable systems on guidance models that are inside of 10 days
The GFS and its ensembles have a wave of low pressure tracking up the first post Christmas cold front this coming monday DEC 29th
The second threat is right on New years when the motherload of Arctic air is dropped into the eastern US..models havent came into anykind of agreement with the track of that system tho

Didn't see your post on the cold air coming down. I had posted something about the cold air coming down between now and New Years or day or two after. Not trying to copy anyone. Just now saw your post.

The first system has trended northward on guidance models but the second system is still being advertised as a threat!
The Parallel GFS shows it all snow with the exception of the mountain areas where it is a cold rain..Lmao..this model will never make it!!

Re: Accumulating snow possible (New Years timeframe)
I haven't looked at that model but maybe 1 time.... I with you on that toot! I know the cold is coming... Looking at the models and esembles. The cold air comes south but doesn't like pushing it to Far east.. I just don't want to end up on the icy side of things which is what I'm afraid is going to happen with that artic front stalling so close to us.. Have a merry Christmas guys!!!!

Anyways my wife and I wanted to wish everyone a...
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Guidance models really struggling with how to handle the energy that comes over top the EPO ridge in the pacific. Looks like the energy will be onshore and in NOAA's radiosonde network sunday for much better sampling
Merry Christmas yall!!
Merry Christmas yall!!
Re: Accumulating snow possible (New Years timeframe)
Are we getting a SE Ridge that is keeping the cold from pushing to far south into our area? Seems like it. Not look at the models today to see what going on. Computer don't want to open the page up for some reason. I will try again later. Merry Christmas All.

There is some flat ridging down in the Caribbean but I dont think it will be much of a match for the vortex that sets up near Hudson bay.

Re: Accumulating snow possible (New Years timeframe)
We are under sw flow aloft! There is a se ridge but the air is not of artic origin. it is pacific, so the cold it not that great and won't last... That all is about to change!! Im getting excited.. Toot stated above, later in the weekend or early next week the models will have a better handle with that storm. The artic air will come, but depending on where that front stalls is going to be the problem because of the se ridge.. Because the warm air still can come up over that front with it too close.. Giving us instead of all snow a mixed bag. I just don't wont ice.. Anyways! If it wraps up and is a strong storm as I'm thinking there will be artic air to tap so no problems for snow!

Looking and the gem and euro 12z they are colder, and bring the ull right over Tennessee. On the other hand the gfs still likes the lakes! Interesting to watch and see who when's the battle.... Later 18z time
