<\/a><\/p>\nThe Canadian is going for a bigger merger with the whole thing trying to go up the east coast…<\/p>\n
The ICON is the model going for a full blown merger all the way back into our region…<\/p>\n The EURO is also trending strongly toward a much more phased look in the east…<\/p>\n As I’ve said for a while now, winter lovers need this storm to come together and work up the eastern US instead of dillydallying around along the southeast coast. I do think this storm will come out instead of staying down there and I think it’s a monster of a storm.<\/p>\n If we look at the surface reflection of the models, the GFS puts together a healthy system that brings some rain into eastern and southeastern Kentucky before it turns east…<\/p>\n The Canadian sees a stronger system dropping in from the northwest and turning this main low northward up the east coast. It also manages to throw out some winter weather under a smaller upper low spinning on top of us…<\/p>\n The new EURO bombs this system out up the east coast and even brings us a few flakes by early next week…<\/p>\n Looking farther down the road toward the end of the month and into January, we continue to find a strong signal for a stout second half of the winter. My winter forecast had a slow starting winter with December averaging above normal with only minimal snow. So, what’s happening so far this month was 100% expected. My forecast then brought in quite a bit of cold and snow threats for January and February with the potential lurking for a big event.<\/p>\n The seasonal models we look at are backing up my forecast as they continue to transition toward a winter setup later this month before locking it in for January. The latest JMA January forecast shows a deep trough in the east as a ridge holds in the west…<\/p>\n That same look takes us through February…<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
