Really going to be a nowcast for tomorrow am. We will be watching the snow/sleet line in real time. Side note: 6Z 3K NAM forecast is 3 degrees too warm for me at 6 am this morning, so who knows about whether it is right for Sunday am.

Pressure map sane time frame comparing WB 3K NAM to HRRR; not much difference.

WB 3K NAM is warmer aloft than 6Z HRRR. For example, 11 am Sunday. We will see which model is wrong.

WB 3K NAM does not have the thump like HRRR. I think that is part of its problem or the reason it transitions to sleet faster

WB 6Z HRRR at 1 am Monday

WB 6Z HRRR at 4pm Sunday

WB 6Z HRRR at 1 pm Sunday; DC start to flip around 11 am; about an hour later than OZ run.
