Polar air NW fights the sub tropical air over the Southeast and off the Southeast coast where the upper-level ridge keeps fighting back against attempts of cold air to penetrate into our corner of the country. This split-jet stream flow keeps two very active jet stream storm tracks going as highlighted with the black arrows in the two forecast 500mb maps above and below.
Yes the models show another colder surge and window of opportunity for snow or ice in the longer range by March or early March, but since they’ve largely failed in past attempts South of I-40 I won’t get excited unless or until I actually see the right pattern taking shape. So I won’t waste anyones time showing those forecast maps.
