The fact the euro is the southern outlier and given its less than stellar track record AND with the NAM being consistent with the sleet/ice look, we shouldn't write the NAM off nor the warmer solutions. It certainly has some merit in that solution.
I honestly think this is a nice thump to mix to dry slot for most of us with rain/mixing in the usual.areas as this ticks back N. I could actually see the 12z rgem as a very realistic solution.
Euro is trash at this range this season. Euro H5 also screams Norther. Probably will honk long enough to suck the more southern forums in before jogging N in 48 hrs and giving us slop.
Agreed on Tuesday DAY....but Monday evening thru sunup Tuesday will be bad. The damage will be done. Especially N and W. Models coming in juicier also now.
I would monitor the NWS forecasts. They are the professionals. I think the hobbyists here have stated the most obvious tho that there is growing concern N and W. Wait and see what the actual zone forecasts look like for your area is my suggestion. And as always better to be prepared than not.
Making glaciers up here this week. Im beginning to wonder if the 3-6 hrs of rain the NAM is advertising early Tuesday will have much of a melt impact. I can see it just acting as a compactor before the deep freeze returns. Solid base for the thump to accumulate Thursday. Then maybe we can begin to see temps moderate again?
Looks like a 2-part system next 2 days. 1st part later tonight thru early Tuesday is a potentially significant icing event N and W of 95. On Tuesday a 2nd wave is going to punch some warmer air into the region with moderate to heavy rain. Then back in the freezer and we'll look to Wednesday PM and Thurs next.
Once again, when all mesos juiced up the past 24 hrs the NAM scores another win with 24 hr lead time in drying things out in PA and shifting everything S and E. Need this to happen on the NAM 0z tomorrow start the trend.
