This is nothing the GFS and CMC can't take care of. As crazy a run as the NAM was, watch those two come in a crush jobs.

If GFS and CMC are crushjobs along with GEFS, I honestly don't know what to put in my forecast lol. I was hoping NAM would really narrow it down for us.

I believe it just did.... In all honesty, the track seems to have adjusted north to a more believable look. Now, it all comes down to how much energy survives to spawn our gulf low.

Yep that's the problem with getting epic model runs.  GFS had 22 here at one point.  I'll still take 2.2 and walk off like I just won the world series

Guess that is part of it. But more so I am just worried we won't even get that now with the way things are looking now.
 
I LOL when I see people get bent out of shape over the NAM model. Hell you do realize its one of the least reliable models out there right?

Ive been saying from the beginning I just want a 1-3 inch type event and somehow get an advisory for my area, and ill be happy. That nam run just looked weird as far as precip but who knows. That 18z GEFS was drop dead sexy and so was the earlier CMC and UKMET, so we just gotta hope that nam wasn't the start of something. I am still cautiously optimistic, but I also have a tendency to wishcast.
 
Oz GFS will make all of us forget about the Nam run tonight
 
RPM shows the snow coming through NGA very quickly Friday early AM.
 
So much work over so many days for 1" of snow. We are sad. :(

Is this uneducated or an educated guess?
 
If the GFS fails will it be time to throw out the models, as they can't get a handle of the storm right now lol?? That was one of my favorite excuses
 
I didn't find too much problems for me with the NAM ? Sorry, I'm just trying to see flakes other than dandruff.

Meh it's the long range NAM.... and fwiw the NAM-para looks almost identical, has more of an overrunning look to it, quick hitter.... sweet spot maybe 2"
At this point with the warmup inevitable I'll take whatever we can muster.

Why is the warm up inevitable?

cause you bought that damn sled

That sled is a snow beacon. Our bastion of frozen hope.

I have a hard time seeing a shutout though if the euro/nam type solutions verify we do have a little BL concern but it looks like melting would erase that quickly

To my untrained eyes, if it weren't the 18z GFS, that run would have been a baby step in the right direction. It still shears out the wave a bit but the GOM's moisture recovers it enough for a decent event and wetter than some previous runs.

It's not a matter if whether the northern stream is going to affect this system, it's a matter of how much it does. Our best hope is it doesn't get completely ripped up and the GOM is able to recover it.

Of course it also looks like the wave stalls to me until moisture starts coming up from the GOM and it's like it tugs the system to me.
 
4 days of not getting above freezing is impressive even for up here.

Edit: anything that does fall will be sticking around for a few days.

Parallel NAM is suppressed. Don't know what's going on at h5 because I don't see any maps for it on TT.

Atm, I don't care what the NAM shows at this point moisture wise. Latest UKMET, Euro, CMC, DGEX and JMA are all in line with each other. The GFS is some what in line. We will see a big snow storm from this low. Now, I know that the JMA and DGEX aren't reliable models but the more reliable models support the the same idea as DGEX and JMA.

but the euro is too warm?
 
The NAM is probably wrong in that it shows that huge hole of no moisture, but what is a major concern here is it continues to show more and more interaction with the northern stream (in the time period in which it's good). Northern stream interaction is fine for some of us, but if there is too much the wave is just going to get ripped to shreds.

Cold air gets in here before the low and during the low. We could start off as some cold rain then quickly changing over. I'm using blend of models.
 
This 0z GFS run will be the most important in the short history of Southerwx

Not necessarily. Anything can happen. Models have all flopped together before.
 
After seeing the nam reactions I really hope the GFS follows the nam. The meltdown will need epic epecially out of wake County lol

If the gfs fails it's GET TO DA CHOPPA TIME!
 
If the GFS fails i might get banned
 
Has anyone checked out how cold this air is coming out of Canada?? Hard to believe on a NW flow (for now) that we have a super hard time getting some cold air in here...

I mean considering that this is really threading the needle in how close it might get I really think we need to get to the 12z suite tomorrow before drawing anywhere close to a possible conclusion on this storm.

At this point in time , I think this is the wisest bet. Look for a path of consistency. I  fully believe something is going to give here very soon.....
 
0z GFS has commenced. Everyone say a prayer it holds haha
 
I've used this picture before, but this is what happens to some people who was on the hype train before models change.

Definitely. I feel tomorrow will be the deciding factor, unless we are still all over the place, which is still a possibility.

No denying the overreacting that's currently ongoing

Good point!
 
It was a nice threat for my area while it lasted. Take care Mr. Storm Threat.
 
I know the gfs is giving you guys to my south and Southwest a great event but in case it goes south I wouldn't let it break my heart. I'd wait to see what the rest of the 0z runs offer
