Keep in mind, instantaneous precip maps show the radar at the exact moment, but the precip maps will show precip in the 6 hours prior to that moment(hence why you also see heavy rain in south GA, but the radar shows the heavy rain is well past that area.
Thanks for pointing this out, pretty crucial. At the same time it seems we have some model consensus with daddy left to run in a couple of hours.
Here’s the slightly better 3h

Hmmm, I think the GFS when you look deeper into it's moisture profiles looks a lot like this....it shows moisture getting into SC from the backend energy, even if it doesn't necessarily show it on the precip maps. I wouldn't be that surprised if parts of SC got flurries on the backend.

See now I have a reason to fly back home from Montana to Tuscaloosa for Christmas if that happens
CMC is definitely more ideal at H5, would probably be some Convective snow showers underneath that deep H5 cutoff for much of the areas around the base of it, GFS is farther north and isn’t as good

I posted the long range NAM trending south/more amped in the severe thread, but it’s also good for this. If we can get this upper level low far enough south and well tilted, we could get some clipper snow showers Christmas day. Maybe.

Time to spend Christmas with Dolly, at Ober GatlinburgHuge increase for Central/North Al
I wouldn't count on them or say they're likely, but I think backside flurries aren't out of the question for us.

IMO there would probably be more flurries/snow showers then it shows under this strong cutoff, can clearly see the packet of moist 700s under it,here’s a sounding under it as well, clearly shows a sounding supportive of snow showers/flurries

I think these 6 hr maps are deceiving. I'm not sure how much backside snow the GFS/GGEM are actually showing, even west of the Apps. In many cases, to me it looks like precip has already cleared out of the area for the most part before the changeover happens, but the clown maps aren't showing this. The trends are good still, but we need to see more.
I still think backside flurries and snow showers are doable for many, but some of these snow maps I'm seeing just don't look realistic at all to me.

I wonder how they come up with this map. Looks nothing like weatherbell gfs end mapHuge increase for Central/North Al
Exactly this, those TT 6 hour maps are stupidly deceiving
