Winter Weather / Re: Winter Storm Central 2013-2014

There's an saying about how if Dallas sees snow or ice, Atlanta will see it too.

I guess I had better say, "Atlanta, get ready," because Dallas may see snow or ice by Monday.  Dallas now has a Winter Storm Warning in effect until 12 pm on Monday.

This is what I'm thinking will happen here in Atlanta based on what the computer models have been saying.
Mon Night: Freezing Rain (maybe some brief snow/sleet pellets)
Tuesday: Cold Rain
Tuesday Night: Rain changing to some light snow (wraparound snow basically if we're lucky)

If you don't mind me asking, what part of Texas do you live in?

I'm in the panhandle.  It's like a different state when it comes to cold, but it still gets the Texas heat in the summer.

Oh ok, that's makes sense then. Yeah it's literally night and day in the TX panhandle compared to the rest of the state. The only time we really see temperature extremes like that in GA is when there's a CAD (Cold Air Damming) event setting up.

It sounds like I've got it coming.  Windchills have already been hitting the single digits, and I have a Winter Weather Advisory.  There's a chance of anything from no precipitation to freezing rain to heavy snow.  Some local forecasts claim that up to a foot or so of the white stuff may be in the works, but nobody believes it.

There's an saying about how if Dallas sees snow or ice, Atlanta will see it too. The only model (since this morning when I checked) that gives us a chance at seeing any wintry precipitation is the Canadian, it gives us ice. I don't have to explain my extreme doubts about that. The GFS did for a few runs show a freezing rain to rain scenario though.

I'll trade for your Sunday forecast. I've never had snow on my birthday before, it would be a nice treat!

My Version Two
I removed the LDL in this one, it kinda made the whole layout look cluttered looking back at it. Also I moved the time/date to the bottom and re-scaled the Windows 8 inspired interface. In addition to that, I changed "Conditions Nearby" to "Airport Conditions & Delays" There are other changes as well.

Didn't Burger King or Dunkin Donuts or some other fast food place have a burger almost like this?

The welcome screen doesn't really bother me, probably because it flies by so fast. It's only up for like 2 or 3 seconds. A couple of times I wasn't able to read it fast enough.

My Windows 8 Local Forecast Concept Layout REVISED

I took some elements from the new graphics and incorporated them into this revision.

To compare to the original version I made.... (View Post #452 on that page)

Forecasting / Re: Fall/Winter Weather Discussion Thread

Although it could change, that COLD (and somewhat wetter) trend continues on the GFS for Thanksgiving and beyond. On the 18z GFS, there's a 1052mb High pressure sliding into the Central Plains sending the eastern 2/3rds of the nation right into the deep freezer to start off December.

Haven't seen the ECMWF or Canadian, but from what I've heard it's in agreement on a colder weather pattern so far.

New storm alert music huh? I wasn't expecting that. When did this start? I heard it for the first time a few minutes ago. I don't remember hearing this earlier this morning.

I would like to say, the WCL Intro in Storm Alert Mode is awesome. I really love it.

HIGH RISK expanded to include the city of Chicago. MODERATE RISK also expanded as far east as Pittsburgh.

I hope everyone who lives in the Great Lakes region isn't tuning out today. It's shaping up to be a very dangerous day.

Eastern IL and most of IN has been upgraded to HIGH RISK. This is very rare in the month of November.
