Christmas Day - SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK IMMINENT

Hmmmmm...

Moved Dylan's post from the Winter thread to here....

Nope

It seems as though the models are playing catch-up with this evolving pattern. The Pacific warmth has ruled the pattern for the past few weeks even with a favorable -NAO and -AO. Some of the latest runs have shown a tendancy to dig some deep troughs and develop a storm track closer to the Gulf Coast as we head towards the Christmas holiday.

Now I still do not see a long lasting +PNA ridge that would lock the cold in place but maybe that will come around by Christmas/New Years. The latest 18Z GFS is trying to develop a closed low across the Deep South early next week possibly leading to an early snow for Northern La/Ms/AL.

At the very least things will become much more exciting over the next few weeks.

What date is this for again?? The 12th?

Ok, now I see it. They way they put the dates on there made it confusing. I should know better after all these years!! Gettin' old is a b!tch! hee hee.....
