They may be right and the NAM scores a huge coup, but it just trended towards all other modeling in 6z suite. While others (gfs for one) are doubling down and rap/hrrr seem to make a big move onboard. baffling move by MRX in that AFD
will be interesting to see if decent rates stay in valley until after peak heating. could see accumulations really go up late afternoon if so. radar looks healthy .
Winter storm watch just posted for plateau and Central Valley north. Didn’t expect it this early honestly and a good sign even with odd runs of the NAM. have to think GFS/Euro/NBM weighing heavily.
Admittedly, not an expert but I thought the 6z RGEM and 12k/3k NAM looked better for the central valley on tropical tidbits. Nowcast time anyways probably but just a question for those who know better .
Is it possible for the NW flow to catch the trailing edge of precip from low to enhance snow showers for time period? Doesn’t look like it’s far off. Sorry if dumb question - enjoy the knowledge you all share .
Sleeting in west Knox - concord area. Just drove back from Chatt and watched precip rates increase up 75 and temps gradually fall from 40 to 35 by time we got home .
