Frz rain at the end of the run from Atlanta to Columbia
-
I have defended it at times in the past, but it has been really terrible this storm with how it has jumped around
-
Yeah, it scoots it on off the coast
-
The new UKMet looks pretty much identical with the GFS on the early maps
-
yeah wow, the GFS is looking much like the FV3 on the backside wave dropping in...who knows how strong that precip will be, but an impressive evolution this far south
-
If it dropped in earlier it would keep the low closer to the coast....it's a little late, so it goes over to showery precip on the backside. Northern stream really dropping in strong, late, this run, like FV3 18z
-
At 87-90, snow line looks similar to last run...across N SC
-
It sure looks like the Northern Stream is wave is going to drop in and prolong the precip more this run
-
A little warmer initially in NC, but cooling kicks in nicely as precip rolls thru
-
Looks like the northern stream shortwave over the Dakotas is going to drop in more on the backside this run
-
Yeah, it looks just a touch north with the precip shield and temps...just barely..wonder if that small shortwave at 57 on the west coast is exerting some small influence
-
Thru hr45, GFS is right on top of the last run at h5 and overall temps
-
Was just about to post on this. In the what could go wrong category, you can see the dry slot moving from MS into Bama here as the system gets wound up. NW NC and into SW VA is the place to be in this simulation for precip duration. The stronger and more wound up the system is, the more dry slotting comes into play. Of course, there is explosive precip out ahead of that.

At 81 on the NAM, there's snow at Mac's and Burrel's crib in the W upstate. Out to 84, heavy frz rain back to Atlanta and over to Columbia
-
Out to 75 on the NAM, and there's another shortwave that dropped into the NE 50/50 low and there's more confluence now than the last run, so it looks like it will stay fairly suppressed
-
In-laws live on a ridge at 3500 ft above Spruce Pine. A location you might consider is Little Switzerland. It's right at the top of the Blue Ridge escarpment and they tend to do well there with the upslope. SnoJoe in the mtn thread may have some advice too...lives in that county NAM out to 60. The wave running thru the Great Lakes wasn't as strong this run, so the heights jogged north in the NE, but our wave is a little south, so may not make much diff. Precip shield thru the Ark/La/Tex is a touch north though
-
Oh my god, I see Mr. it will snow but not stick on the ground guy is back

So the 18z Euro is now in, but it only goes out to hr90...and it has improvements for the southern participants of the subforum It's stronger and farther southwest with the shortwave rolling thru the Great Lakes and feeding into the 50/50 low over the northeast states, and the confluent flow over the NE is a touch stronger thru the run. Meanwhile, the backside wave looks like it would drop into the trough a little more than the 12z run (just guessing based on the look). At the end of the run at hr90, it has heavy precip in N GA with the sfc freezing line past Lake Lanier into NE side of Atlanta, and snow is breaking out in central and western NC into the NE upstate
-
That was an unbelievably good run of the FV3...drops the backside wave in late and closes it off...big if true
-
Live look at our storm coming into the west coast with tropical Pacific moisture tap engaged Loop here: https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/sat/satlooper.php?region=atlpac-wide&product=wv-mid

That’s ice cold for snow in the south
-
Best run I’ve seen from any model for the Charlotte crowd
-
Mack’s favorite the JMA looks dead on with the UKMet - also has the late phase and slowly exiting precip
-
Just think, we have basically 48 hours of modeling left....that's an eternity for how things can change. We have a system that is going to bring a lot of warmth and juice out of the gulf into an airmass that is marginal aloft overall. Outside of the central and northern mountains, northern foothills, into SW VA, confidence should be tempered IMO for a big event. I post the snow maps like others, but I feel a little slimy doing it because heavy support for cold temperatures isn't there....and those maps are much heavier with snow than they should be along the edges. Wonder if anyone has the Eurowx site access...seems like they used to have much more tempered snow maps, etc.
