Good Tuesday to one and all. We are FINALLY coming out of the deep freeze and we’re going into a pattern that looks really wet to close out 2022 and to start 2023. We have a lot of rain coming before winter crashes back in.
Speaking of winter, we are coming off one of the coldest December periods on record around here and it happened to coincide with Christmas weekend. Look at just how far below normal we were for that 3 day period…
That’s up there with similar Christmas periods in 1983 and 1989.
A few flakes may still be flying early on today, but the action really slows down. Here are your radars to wave bye bye to the flakes…
Clouds will hang around as we go above freezing for the first time since Thursday. Break out the shorts!
Temps do turn much milder for the end of the week and into the big New Year’s Weekend. This milder flow is also one that will come with a lot of rain as storm systems track to just to our west. This track opens us up to rounds of heavy rain…
Each storm system should start focusing a little farther east later next week. That’s when we will have to watch for storms to have the chance to tap some colder air for winter weather as troughs start to swing out of the west and through our region.
Low and behold we see the GFS trying to do just that…
You can see this well on the control run of the EURO Ensembles…
At the end of that run, you can see that deep trough starting to flex again across much of the country.
I will have updates later today. Have a terrific Tuesday and take care.
juicy biggie song, going start giving you gamblers plays.
fooseball today buffalo ga south under 67
Thanks Chris, looks interesting with that low moving south of Kentucky around the 7th and 8th for a significant Snow ?
6z GFS continues to show a storm, lets see if that continues
So far the models in general have not done too good of a job with snow total outlooks for this area. Even the clipper that was consistent for several days sputtered out. It will be interesting if that apparent model trend continues. Of course if ice, they are pretty accurate. Ironic!
A model is a model though, hence a range for snow accumulations due to the mets interpreting them, since taking models verbatim for snow is dubious.
I would love to see more sun during the warm up.
It has been quite gloomy lately.
