Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

Even we're going for less of an amped solution, I still think the QPF output will trend higher with this one over the east. Given this look at the start. Euro really starts to lose the juice after crossing the MS river. We'll see

By the looks of what Fro just posted I guess you could call it a hybrid? The way I look at it it’s close to a Miller A track with a B style transfer
That’s a Miller A all the way. It produces areas of mixed precip, but that can happen with A’s depending on what’s going on in the mid levels

This seems to be consistent through many of the models. You can see it on the ensembles too. TX gets hit hard and the storm just dies out as it moves east past the mountains (save the Ukmet). I saw a mention about it's the jetstreak for the storm or something? Do we have a consensus why it's a moderately strong storm but it weakens so fast? Just too progressive and positive tilt?

I'm more worried about this being a nuisance event than I am being too amped at this point.
 
Euro didn't help GA folks, but that's mostly due to the slightly stronger LP system in the Gulf. Still alot to resolve.

As an aside- the concept of naming winter storms is perhaps one of the most useless things shoved down the throats of the American public in quite sometime.
The ensembles for Euro really were not that bad and definitely more south with winter stuff so in general a more shifted sign if anything
 
Euro has been trending colder. I think 2mt are becoming less of a concern View attachment 160376
Thoughts around this could this be modeling datapoint adjustments reflecting the storm that has progressed from last night with snow cap above? Obviously WAA affects and just how the stream comes will have a say in the boundary layers but would be fun to find out if so

I haven't had a chance to look at the ensembles yet, but the overall look is better- that, I would agree with. I'm still (and continue to be) more intrigued with how the gulf low will navigate any kind of CAD that sets up. The 12z GFS had a really nice HP system in the NE that ( I would like to think at least), would funnel some more cold air down the apps. It does wobble a little bit from frame to frame, but again, its more than workable.
 
I’ll share the final snow/rain map soon. I think the models are fairly accurate regarding Upstate SC and NC, but I anticipate snowfall extending farther south into Mississippi and Alabama.
 
Every model trended towards more liquid for GA/SC/NC at 12z... that's a great sign. I think they all pretty much trended colder both at the surface and mid levels too. All in all, a great 12z cycle. Rain is pretty much out of the equation for upstate, SC and Central,NC.
At onset i think I agree. I would definitely not rule out a switchover yet though. Maybe for far northern upstate and favored cad regions of nc, but there’s still too much guidance that either outright flips to rain or gets close to rule out imo
