Just like the last Arctic blast, the one developing for the last week of the month looks like it will be centered over the Midwest. Lucky us
Yet this one doesn't seem to be hitting the Southeast or Gulf Coast nearly as bad as the last one. Upper 20's for Mobile and Charleston at the lowest. Could change though.
Models continue to get colder and colder for the last week of January
I can't ignore consistency which is 1 of my rules for looking at models.
Here's Euro12z 850mb temp anomalies for after this weekend. Watch that storm between 22-27th. Not sure if its just 1 that models aren't agreeing on timing with OR 2 snowstorms in that time frame (for Northeast/New England)
And just in case your wondering about that orange blob in the last frame.. Here's the last frame of the Euro Day 10. Drops right down. That is frigid. Keep in mind normal are lower now so when you see that much below normal that's just frigid!
Just to give you an idea.. Normal 850mb temps is -7°C in Bismarck, ND. So 25 below normal would mean temps at 4000 feet would be -32°C. Surface will reflect and be near -20°F
Depends where the spits go. What I mean by spits is, these disturbances from the mid west are spitting storms down the chute. So where and how strong they are will depend on whether we have fun.
Saturday good chance to see snow.
Check out the Water Vapor loop.. Clearly see the Ridge, Trough, Ridge. You see that spin in center of country, that moisture is going to spin into us. Next 5 days will feature scattered snow/rain showers.
Awesome to see Atlantic moisture moving north and Plains moisture moving SouthEast
Canadian at 132 hours has blizzard for the Northeast
Euro control run looks scary cold -25C BELOW normal
