Tomorrow's make or break. The energy will be at verification so if we go the way we are, lights out for ATL and the CAD regions most likely.

Sunday we will all be back in Jan thread looking for the next one. If it ever does snow a 6-12 incher again, its never enough, just makes you crave more.

00zGFS is a tick east and south of the 18Z to my eyes and goes over Wilmington which is not good news for the Raleigh folks for snow, more of a mix
I'm already looking for the next one lol
NAM and the other short range must be struggling with the energy/convective deal. Globals holding serve, albeit small noise differences at 500mb. The short range are over playing something that my pea brain isn't going to figure out.
NAM does this whereas GFS does not. Is that just the NAM trying to over amplify at the last minute? If not we will be battling an SER by 12z tomorrow lol

If you check the 509 vort maps on the NAM it's struggling to find what to do with the energy coming down currently but it's leaning with the data it has into amping it up way more. Whether the European and UK do the same will be seen. We need a verification before we declare over I think.
I was just going to say that. I really hate the NAM. I know it has its uses. But good lord. How many times have we seen HUGE bouncing around within 48 hours? Like, a whole bunch.

So 1.5” SN, 1” IP and 0.30” ZR

I know this is banter, but I ain't gonna spam y'all with it, so I'm just gonna share this here. This thread is amazing, it 1000% feels like an old talk weather thread from 10 years ago. Storm5 is heading to Marshall County, Brick has stopped in, although he should be here cliff jumping this last NAM run, Dsaur may get to break out his sled, stormlover is all hyped, jll is all worried, the insane 10+ inch runs, the sudden NAMed northwest express. This storm has it all. All that's left is for Brad Travis to drop back in and give us his personal forecast again. lol. Absolutely love reading all of y'all's thoughts and appreciate the hell out of this place that I found years ago wondering if it might snow. Been fun quietly tracking along with you guys and gals. Hopefully most of us get to enjoy some Snow .

Depends on the warm nose intensity and rain intensity. A further north nose would definitely bring rates up and temp up, so sleet may not have time to freeze. We already are riding in very cold.

Canadian also quite similar to its prior runs. Got colder in N. Ga. No NAM buffoonery.

In regards to N GA I said before that I was worried about ice accumulation with this system and most high res models still show this as a threat. Even if its not a lot of snow there is still good chance of IP and ZR and hopefully its more of the former than the latter.
Definitely lights out here on the WRFs and RDPS. Over half an inch of ice, an inch or two of snow and probably some sleet to boot. Fun.
I think TTs shading is pretty sensitive. If you look at the height contours, they are only slightly different down there haha. It's slightly more ridging in the NAM, but within the noise IMO.

Gfs make people feel a little better..on to euro

Canadian 00Z holds serve. Actually increase a little over 18Z
generally for the nam i think the energy in cabo san lucas rounded the base of the trough in a more efficient manner than the gfs which caused slightly more deepening and a slightly stronger vort max racing NE, which in response kicked up more waa and raised heights downstream. it's a hairline difference that has downstream consequences.
i never want to reference cabo can lucas in a thread again unless it's because i'm traveling there

It's important to remember computer models are just generating one *possible* solution to a forecast. It’s more important to interpret the models correctly and not get too hung up on a specific solution. Focusing on trends, historical/past events, climatology, and other tools is usually key. Everyone here knows winter weather forecasting, particularly in the south, is extremely tedious and things change quickly. Thank You to all the hard working meteorologists who have been working to try and figure this one out. A lot remains unknown so it's best to continue using your local NWS office for updates. Hope everyone stays warm (or for snow the opposite lol) and safe! Have a good one!
Ok not a since GEFS member has an apps runner.
Also here’s the 18z mean vs 00z. Sizeable increases

From past experiences for many areas this may be a "track the storm as you go" kind of event
Starts around 12:15 EST
11:30 central time

I vaguely remember the NAM doing this to storm in 2014 (?) or 2015… and it corrected the next run.
Date may be off on that.

The UKmet at 18z was the best run for Rah, dumping 3.5. See if it can hold that finger band that all models show across NC in the same spot, without edging it north toward Va state line. Someone east of Apps will be inside that and hang a 3-4.5 lollipop, just barely avoiding the sleet by the skin of their teeth. Its been there for days on all the AI,physics and ens models.
Wasn’t 2015. It burnt all the other models so bad they couldn’t show their face for a week.
i think the ceiling on this storm, especially east of the savannah river, is much lower than any of the landmark events in 2014/2015

Im riding the euro AI,Crass,Can,Rgem,Euro op,Ukmet,ICon . They all stay lined up on top of each other, consistently for the most part.
That’s exactly what it’s going to be and that mix line is going to be racing north quickly once the finger band stuff pushes through. Correlation coefficient is going to be wild Friday evening.

Not the big amounts of course in the mountains …. But this doesn’t look unrealistic, 2-3” , 1/10 -1/4” ICE and Sleet. Anyone have H5 Charts for this ?
