Prepare for the volatile weather pattern we are entering.

You may soon hear a lot of "this came out of nowhere" regarding storm threats on weather models.

Fact is, if anyone in the SE gets a surprise winter event, it has been showing up for a while.... I will elaborate.

The specifics vary greatly but the overall pattern with the artic air mass and waves/storms flying across the country has been modeled for at least a week. The timing and intensity continue to change. This could definitely lead to someone getting a "surprise storm"

As always, it is best to monitor the forecast from your local NWS forecasting office, local meteorologists and trusted sources. - Active times ahead for many. We will see who all that will include soon.
