Wintry January 3rd-6th, 2018 Winter Storm The ARCC/Xtreme Weather Special

Well. I'd rather the NAM drop the solution now if it's not going to happen, than to string everyone along until go time.

hr24 about the same with lead wave, slightly weaker, chaser about the same speed wise, but stronger at hr 24 vs 18z
 
The northern stream “ball” of energy trended drastically more west this run, which is attracting the chaser so it’s not diving as far south.

Slower and west, could be earlier phasing?
 
the waves are definitely not interacting as much early on as the 18z NAM and much less than the 12Z NAM. Everything is slightly west however
 
First low situation took an East jog vs 18z. Whoops
 
Dang, NAM correcting to the globals! Guess actual data ingest, set it straight!
 
at hr30 it seems as though this run will take a step back from 18z and more so from 12z with the waves. trending to the global models for sure
 
How could this affect us?

More separation between chaser and shortwave due to “ball” of energy over the Great Lakes that trended West. This ball of energy interacts with the chaser and the chaser therefore can’t dive south. Leading to no phase or a late phase if it happens.

All the energy should be well sampled by now. It’s a shame that the Nam is gonna cave.

Be interesting to see if it's there in the a.m. or better yet close enough to flirt with trailing wave. Saw this on a model run few cycles back. UGS Wins IN Double OT. So Georgia folks got that going for them.
 
East with precip. Might still get to CAE, but Lexington is out.

Ugh!
