This could end up being quite the Winter pattern for folks in the Southeast and East in general. With the big January storm, the now incoming cold spell, and another bigger cold outbreak this Weekend.....all topped off with a Major Winter Storm arriving Sunday Night, into next week. As you know by climatology, the favored "mid February" timeframe is about here, and the last few years (and many years) there is a Winter event in part of the Southeast and East Coast. Like clock work, the models are showing that very setup happening, starting late Sunday in the Tennessee Valley to Delta regions, spreading over much of the Southeast Monday and up the East Coast Tuesday.

European model has been very insistent on this setup. The cold air coming in next weekend is true hardcore ARCTIC INVASION well to Georgia.

Immediately, a weak wave dropping through the Rockies begins to tap Gulf moisture and it grows with time, covering a huge chunk of the Southeast and it's throwing out some impressive snowfall numbers into Alabama, Georgia, the Carolinas and up the into the Mid-Atlantic. Blockbuster numbers. But it's early yet. There's still plenty of time to watch this unfold. This particular storm looks to have extremely cold air in place, very far south, for the event, unlike many that are a "close call". As always, at this far out date there's more questions than answers, like the exact track, how much moisture, the angle of the amplifying wave, and if thunderstorms could develop to really foul up the snow and ice totals for some locations. For now, I've broad brushed the basic region that appears to be most at risk for a Winter Storm.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, indeed. Arctic air is not a good thing, IMO!!

One of my sons has a soccer tourney this weekend
and Sunday AM temps are set to be in the teens.

This past weekend he played in Richmond in temps
in the 20s and low 30s. Frigid for us parents. Don't
want another round of chills, but alas, weather patterns
don't listen to our cries....

Yep, local station is talking a  smidge of snow Tues., & close to zero this weekend. I like cold wx but come on.

I have lilies up 6" with a few flowers and roses showing new green growth .

They are saying we could get more snow on Sunday also.  On the up side we are suppose to warm up toward the end of next week.  Hopefully it will be enough to thaw out the water before the weekend.

Since I didn't predict any snow,  I must assume you are speaking of another dave...

I'm going with YOUR prediction.  Screw that other Dave and his snowstorms, we've had enough snow this year........

Funny how that works...

Let me know if you don't have enough space for those new rods. I am offering to "help."
