Every time we get bad model runs for this storm, I say well hopefully the next batch will be better, but we are now at the point where these next few models runs are pretty much our last chance for any significantly good trends, especially for me just north of metro atl. I was hoping that the 00z and 6z GFS and CMC would start to trend back north, but they haven’t done anything. So I guess this means the 18z and next 00z will have to show something drastically different.
 
This is a big time improvement from last night.

Definitely a pretty big move, we just can’t afford to take anymore steps back. I’d like to think we could get a 5-10 mile north shift each model suite leading up to the event but that’s my wishcasting at the moment. Hard to believe we let it slip this far, but it’s what we are good at doing.
 
I’d argue that CAE probably has one of the toughest forecast challenges out of anyone out there with this storm.
Seems pretty simple to me.

2 to 4 inches. Very unlikely it's more or less than that amount, imo.

CAE is in the perfect spot for where things will over perform expectations.
 
I hate that these maps exist. Gives me hope View attachment 165513
The crazy part? FFC actually did mildly acceptable last storm which makes me really question what reality will be. If we see the Euro swing more NW and keep seeing a trend to a near or phase, which is within 100 miles in some cases of happening, this axis could be realistic.

I hope you are right. Because nothing I see says 2-4 inches for us & if I was cae, I definitely wouldn’t forecast that amount lol
 
What I don't understand, is that places like Atlanta have a better chance of 6" or more, but places like Columbus and Macon have a better chance than Atlanta of getting 2" or more.
That's the most confusing part about this whole thing for me not just there but this whole event

Call me skeptical if you like but those percentages are generous in my view based on what we are seeing here come out. Granted, they really don't tell you much of anything anyway. Not a real meaningful value product. imho
I'm a bit skeptical because just looking at it I'm going ok based on these trends unless we see something drastic in the next 12-24 hrs how do we have a better chance percentage wise of seeing 4 or 6 inches of snowfall then say Atlanta?

UKMET went from being a tweak or two from being basically back at 0z to being essentially nothing. It really only shows deep, deep, deep in LA getting good snows.
 
I still don’t get what the NBM is putting out. 15z cut totals as you’d expect across the core of the region but extended the 1”+ line way further north. I haven’t seen a single model go further north than Atlanta with a 1” line this morning. Anyone have ideas?

dusting-to-2" on the safe side, and readjust to 2" to 4" as you stated if they realize the storm is over performing in CAE and surrounding areas.

Only thing I can think of is maybe it's somewhat influenced by the GRAF?
