Only if you could get a phase between these 2, gfs isn’t gonna do that tho View attachment 54455
Tomorrow afternoon-early Tuesday morning continues to look more interesting. I am especially interested in those bands being shown on both the NAM and RGEM. If they do happen I wouldn’t be surprised to see a brief period of light-moderate snow. One thing to watch will be how the temperatures react tomorrow. With how cold the upper levels are( -4 to -7C at 850) I would say we will probably be supportive of snow around surface temperatures of 37-39 degrees. Hoping we can sneak in some flakes before sunset, but either way I think quite a few people on here in North Alabama and Georgia got a real good shot of seeing their first flakes of the season!
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but the 12z HRRR was also interesting looking at the simulated reflectivity. Almost looks like there is a convective nature to those shower/snow showers.I 100% agree. These bands are going to be super thin but could rip snow for a few short minutes. Don’t be surprised to see some isolated reports of a quick dusting under those heaviest spots.
will be very isolated though. There is a ton of moisture at the 850mb level and I find it very hard to believe that it doesn’t break containment.
3km nam has been the driest of any model so far and even it has snow showers breaking out of the mountains.
Some bright bands showing up against the mountains in E TNSomeone correct me if I am wrong, but the 12z HRRR was also interesting looking at the simulated reflectivity. Almost looks like there is a convective nature to those shower/snow showers.View attachment 54479

I really do think people east of the mountains have a chance at a flurry. 3k and GEFS and I think HRRR have all shown activity in central/east NC and a bit in the upstate. Low chance, but I don’t think you can rule out flakes
