Wintry Winter Storm Dec 7-10

[WeatherWatch]

A winter storm warning should be coming soon for GA!

Update on that warning, NWS may issue a winter storm watch then a warning. But, either way, a warning will be issued.

Goodness, that 8 on the GFS map in GA is right over me.

Whoa...those clown maps may not be so clownish...

I guess they are waiting to see how this does over Mississippi and SW Bama, but after all the model runs I don’t see how you don’t upgrade portions to a winter storm warning for 2+. They are the professionals, not me, but I see that happening sooner or later.

Tuscaloosa is sitting at 45/34....we have a long way to go at 925mb as well. It still hasn't changed over in LA or MS...patience.

Based on what? The GFS?

Nearly every map i have seen shows more than 1" in Central AL yet the NWS says an inch or less. Whats the point in looking at all these models if they are all wrong ?

If this is going to be like 2014, one thing that happened was the precip was way underestimated by the models on the northern end. Maybe that's happening again.

And talk about an over performing catching NWS off guard system... winter weather advisories there were not issued until around 7:30 pm local time, after snow had started accumulating

No, I'm getting information passed down to me from the NWS.

Since it isn't coming in with established cold, forecasters are thinking that most of it is going to melt.

Wow and they were predicted to get no accumulation??

There's no truth like ground truth. And really - boom or bust, I'd argue that having a winter storm system to even discuss at this time of year is a win for all of us here.

I think it is safe to say this thing is probably going to over perform what we thought. Key is going to be how quick the column will cool and what kind of rates you see. Also, have to feel that being north on this storm will support best snow growth and will be favored.
