Winter Weather Season 2025-26

[Atlantic]

Enjoy. I got 2-3 inches this week. Everything was white for days

I got my first snow today. I used a measuring stick and measured about 3 1/2 inches, though I don’t think I measured the deepest part, so it could actually be 4 inches.

Busy year so far by the sounds of it!

we got an inch here at DCA, which is an inch more than I wanted

I am visiting family in Maryland. The weather forecast has gone from a high of 60 the day after Christmas to a possible winter storm. Me and my mom were hoping to start home on Saturday but that looks questionable. What does this next winter storm look like for the mid-Atlantic/Pennsylvania and how did this forecast suddenly change?

This guy nailed it!!!

Looking like we might need a light jacket over the next couple of days.

I'm hoping we can reel in one of these 240 hour ice storms for northern Georgia in January. At least to make my shifts fun.

But, if the subtropical jet becomes more active like long range deterministic/ensemble modeling hints, we may be dodging severe and winter threats in Dixie before long.

If what I'm thinking and if the GFS/Canadian/Euro Ensembles continue to suggest for around the 12th, then any severe weather threat would be confined to the Gulf Coast.

VERY INTERESTING long-range...and at least 2 already agree.

I saw a model of possible winter weather for eastern parts of the mid-South around January 16. Is anyone else seeing it?

Seeing that there's a very favorable pattern for snow coming up for Alabama next week

All Global Forecast Models as well as their Ensembles hint at southern snow around or just beyond the 20th.

12z GFS with the classic setup for southern snow. Low near the Gulf coast

Isnt the GFS more reliable with snow systems than the EURO? I noticed the 00z EURO backed off on the snow idea

 

[JPWX]

I'm not for certain on that, but given the recent/continued support from all the ensembles, I'm very intrigued. Even the latest 12z Euro hints at it though further south with some snow along the Gulf Coast (for some reason). Key Takeaway is this fits the pattern and the models are seeing that.

But the way I deal with winter weather forecasting is look at why this wouldn't happen then gradually go from there. It definitely helps me with not being downright angry it didn't happen because I absolutely LOVE snow!

18z GFS with a decent snow for most of Alabama

GFS and euro on board with some light snow/ flurries in Alabama on Wednesday
