Full on torch where? My forecast has temps mostly between 45 and 55 here the next 10 days.
I hit 74 yesterday, a chilly 62 today and see another upper 70s next week! I'm gonna say a few days at 25-30 degrees above normal in late December, is a torch! We most likely won't have one high temp that much below normal this winter! Just life in the South! :(

I've got a forecast high of 70 the next two days and my average high is 46 so I'm definitely torching the next few days.

Yep, if that were to somehow verify (I'm sure none of us will hold our breath since the chances are low), it would bring stupid cold to N MS, N AL, and most of TN. (Example: 9F for BHM). ATL and RDU get a strong cold shot but not stupid cold (18F).

This reminds me about strength of a cold airmass and chances for a major SN/IP following it based on something I learned very recently. At ATL, for example, chances go up by about a factor of 3 for every 10 degrees colder the coldest of the airmass is. So, though still low, a single digit airmass has about a ten times higher chance for a major SN/IP to follow it vs a 20's airmass there.
 
JB finally caves...
It will likely take the cold air the longest to reach the SE US...

[/quote] yeah, not as cold but still cold. Models will shuffle around because it's the LR. I still feel pretty good for second week of January

Lol! He saw the 0z and jumped all over the cold!! Now it's like, sike!!
 
A couple of days near 70 and then average to below average temps the rest of the week is not a torch.
 
And as long as it's below freezing and there is a chance of winter storms, then why does it matter if it's not in the teens or single digits?

I don't know what else you call it then.. 70 or above Christmas time no matter the length of it... its still a torch... models aren't handling the patter at all in long range... who  knows.. may torch ; some longer... just saying

One or two days doesn't make it a torch. That's a typical winter here. And we can have a couple of days at 70 and next week have a snow storm. That also happens quite often here.
