EXPECT MUCH IF ANY IN THE WAY OF ACCUMULATIONS...A DUSTING AT BEST.

TROUGH PUSHES TO THE EAST BY MONDAY LEAVING US IN NORTHWEST FLOW
ALOFT...UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE
NORTHERN GULF. THIS WILL ALLOW MODEST TEMPERATURE RECOVERY...
CLOSER TO NORMAL LEVELS. HAVE GENERALLY LEANED ON THE COOL SIDE OF
GUIDANCE THROUGH THE SHORT TERM AS MODELS HAVE BEEN TOO WARM FOR
THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS.

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...

NEAR ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EXTENDED WILL
TRANSITION TO WEAK RIDGING ALOFT AHEAD OF THE NEXT STRONG SYSTEM
THAT WILL IMPACT THE EASTERN TWO-THIRDS OF THE COUNTRY THROUGH THE
WEEK. COOL HIGH PRESSURE COMING OUT OF CANADA AND SLIDING DOWN THE
UPPER CONFLUENCE ZONE WILL MERGE WITH THE AFOREMENTIONED GULF
HIGH. CLASSICAL CAD SETUP INDICATED EARLIER ON THE ECMWF THAN THE
GFS...BUT STILL DECENT AGREEMENT IN THE COOL NORTHEASTERLY FLOW.
ECMWF...HOWEVER...IS SLOWER WITH THE SYSTEM STRENGTHENING OFF THE
ROCKIES ON WEDNESDAY. POPS MAY ARRIVE WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON...LEFT
IT AT CHANCE WEST AT BEST FOR NOW DUE TO THE INCREASED UNCERTAINTY
WITH THE SLOWER ECMWF. BY THURSDAY 12Z THE GFS HAS THE LOW OVER
NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI...AND THE UPPER LOW OVER CENTRAL ARKANSAS.
ECMWF IS IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA WITH THE SURFACE LOW AND SOUTHWEST
OKLAHOMA WITH THE UPPER LOW. THESE DIFFERENCES COULD HAVE A BIG
IMPACT ON TEMPERATURES...WITH THE GFS ON THE COOLER SIDE. NOTE
THAT YESTERDAYS 00Z RUN OF THE GFS WAS FURTHER NORTH WITH THE
SYSTEM...AND TODAYS 00Z RUN RETURNS TO A SIMILAR SOLUTION AS WAS
SUGGESTED TWO DAYS AGO BY THE GFS. GFS ENSEMBLE STANDARD
DEVIATIONS REMAIN VERY HIGH. HAVE TRIED TO MUTE THE TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE RUNS DUE TO THESE FLIP-FLOPS. CONFIDENCE
VERY LOW IN DETAILS...BUT IT DOES SEEM LIKE WERE IN FOR ANOTHER
GOOD RAIN EVENT. THE GFS SOLUTION WOULD INDICATE A RAIN/SNOW MIX
OVER NORTH GEORGIA CHRISTMAS MORNING (ECMWF HAS THE PRECIP SHIELD
FURTHER NORTH). UNTIL THERE IS BETTER AGREEMENT IN THE
MODELS...SEE NO REASON TO ALTER THE EXTENDED FORECAST MUCH FROM
WHAT WAS ALREADY OUT...THOUGH THE AMOUNT OF MOISTURE MOVING ACROSS
THE AREA HAS WARRANTED LIKELY POPS IN SOME AREAS. STILL NOT SURE
ABOUT ANY THUNDER POTENTIAL...IF IT HAPPENS IT LOOKS LIKE THURSDAY
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WOULD BE THE BEST TIME FRAME...BUT HAVE
STILL NOT INCLUDED ANY AT THIS TIME.
