EPS looks a little better so far.View attachment 104516

Does this count freezing rain and sleet

Based on what?

Yeah…based on the Euro ice is an issue down that way too.

Gwinnett also. I don't think the airport and areas south and west will have many issues. This is a classic east and northeast of Atl storm.

I disagree! I witness these situations...the models are going to trend colder especially the NAM!

Mean increased. 850's were a little better. But the system was definitely more amped.

Usually if Alpharetta gets ice, Gwinnett County gets it first in these types of setups. Cad follows the 85 corridor then goes west if strong enough
.

Looking like concrete for the foothills....I'll take it beggers can't be choosers

 

[accu35]

i think our area is losing this one. Looks like its headed i40 northward

I don’t think your losing this one if your under that wraparound. May not be much but at least your getting it from the backside

The slowdown gives the wedge more time to dig in too

There's going to be a crazy snow total gradient between Atlanta and NE GA. 50 miles might be the difference in an inch of snow and loads of freezing rain vs. a foot of snow

 

[Metwannabe]

All the models I've seen. Certainly areas like Carrollton, Cedartown, Griffin are right on the edge.

Stop please

The NAM is coming to destroy power lines starting tomorrow

I do not believe so.

Kinda an amateur question but does the NWS still issue Ice Storm Warnings or is it all lumped into the WSW category?

For people on the West side of GA if this is the track that it's gonna take your going to have to walk a fine line of hoping for a amped system with more precipitation on the backside for snow from ULL without freezing half the SE with Icy or Rain

 

[Zander98al]

Still feeling optimistic. For some measurable snow here in northern Alabama. Even if it's just snow showers been squished out on the back end of the low

 

[olhausen]

@olhausen , gonna get crushed based on this map! 2 double digit snows back to back! ?

Yeah I’m not sure what to expect with this one. It’s hard not to get a little excited when the euro is showing totals like it’s showing now.

 

[Metwannabe]

For NC (central especially) I noticed the 12z eps "snow" footprint expanded slightly eastward, again indicative, at least imho, that the CAD is strong, slow to scour out and more zr/ip longer before that transition.

 

[Tarheel1]

TWC Mets calling Euro an ‘ outlier’ right now! I can’t even with them!

 

[superjames1992]

I think I recall Freezing Rain Advisories were done away with in favor of WWAs, but Ice Storm Warnings are still in use. In most ice storms, we mix with other stuff, too, though, so it seems like we usually just get WSWed.

 

[Metwannabe]

Slight as it may be I'll take any improvement where I can get it lol
