From FFC’s overnight disco:
The GFS and ECMWF have come into better agreement with the
progression of the surface and mid level low tracks. The ECMWF has
also come around to a slightly stronger wedge than in previous runs,
but is still a bit weaker than the GFS. The ECMWF`s upper low track
is still a bit further south than the GFS, but the surface low
tracks are pretty similar.
Models soundings from the GFS (slightly stronger wedge), do show
potential for FZRA during the early/middle part of Saturday.
However, the warm nose isn`t very as strong as it could be due to
some colder temps aloft. This could be due to the deep NW flow in
place from the strong trough/shortwave that comes through Thursday
night/early Friday. Regardless, most of north GA will have the
potential to see the wintry mix late Saturday into Sunday, with
locales in the wedge having the most potential for FZRA. It`s still
too far out to discuss winter precip amounts with any accuracy,
especially since the models have trouble with strength of the warm
nose.
MaxT values on Sunday will be tricky since there are major
differences in the strength of the wedge. May end up going a few
degrees cooler within the wedge.
