Winter Weather 2023-2024

It's just the old weatherscope app from OK mesonet. Plotted temps, wet bulb, and dewpoints from the NWS obs, and nexrad radar overlays. Old school.

ahhh I forgot all about that haha

Well it only had it's last version released 10 years ago, you're so quick to throw it out. (I know, I'm a luddite. But it worked!)

Glad to see the warm moist air winning handily now. Begone, icy mess.

Of course, it would be a Tyson truck. Sent the link over to transportation just in case they hadn't heard how icy it is. Great shot by the way.

Holy smokes, where are you?

forecast says 15 here 1 hr north of Atlanta. It will probably be a few degrees cooler.

Well, temp ended up bottoming out at 3, still plenty cold if you ask my dog.

It was 7 degrees here with a wind chill of -3 when I got up this morning. This is supposed to be the last day of this nonsense.

 

[WesL]

Very much NOT excited...

The 06z GEFS American Ensemble is crazy for a Southern Snow event February 4-5! We'll have to see if there's consistency and other models come on board. The overall probability is still low-ish in most areas (10-30%) for 1-inch snowfall, but remember this is a 10:1 ratio that the GEFS uses, and Southern snowfall often has a lower ratio, making it easier to amass higher amounts. Still....a fantasy at this point, but cool to see anyway. Maybe the ingredients could actually come together in some areas. It'd be super cool for a novelty snow event in the extreme Deep South. Haven't had one in a few years.

(For the curious, for me in Tallahassee FL, the GEFS 06z run has a mean snowfall of 0.1 inches and a 3% chance of 1-inch or greater...so probably a no-go for me at least haha).

The GEFS solution is interesting. We'll see if other models begin to latch on to this idea, but February is typically the best month for Deep South winter events (if the overall pattern favors it). The pattern going forward does favor more cold and winter weather issues for the Gulf States. Per usual, timing is gonna be everything.

12Z GEFS also has a snowy signal, but not quite as strong. Canadian Ensemble has some extreme Deep South snow probabilities also. Still too iffy to consider seriously, just going "hmmm" at the moment.

Wooh buddy. Talk about a snowstorm all I ask for is come on the weekend

This has the "look"; for sure. Let's see if all the pieces come together.
