Carvers Gap

I sure was. Not a trend we want to see north o I-40. Any model now which is trying to cut west of the Apps is an outlier. Models are quickly feeling the effects of a hp(albeit a bit weaker) which is exerting a lot of force. I suspect the Euro will trend south...but eventually trend back north. Suppression, in my mind, has always been an equal risk to the cutter scenario. It makes much more sense. That said, the GFS has been woeful this winter...and the ICON has been all over the place. The 18z GEFS is probably more important for a few more runs.

I think we are about to find out that models which were trying to crash a slp into a 1045 were maybe out to lunch.

The 18z AIGFS has completely abandoned its amped solution - almost a pure slider now w/ even a secondary wave of over-running right behind it. And right behind that...a clipper.

In fact, this could be a very different run of the 12z Euro.

12z Euro presses the high into place by 111. This thing isn't coming north.

Not a major cutter. Significant changes w/ surface pressure anomalies. Much colder run, and less punch through middle TN. TRI doesn't even get above freezing during the event. 6-10 degrees colder over much of E TN. Major move.

The 12z AIFS just moved off its mark. Much stronger high presence.

Buckle up, ya'll!

Then AIFS might be just a bit different.....

Where did you find that?

I feel like the shields are about to go up in KPT, @Holston_River_Rambler.

Indeed. The GFS and 6z AIFS have the same deal. And very, very cold temps w/ that second one.

AIFS late?

I hope they aren't riding w/ the lowest verification score, right? I think the GFS is about to be badly wrong.

What are you changing your tune to?

"Nothing to see here...move right along."

FWIW, the 12z GFS is absolutely burying your area.

Maybe we better start looking at the QPF trends? I have to think a 1040+ hp sitting to the north of this is a big problem, especially since it is well west of the Apps into the Midwest or plains.

The NBM ticking up is concerning on a lot of levels.

Remind me what that is?

That is telling. Takes how long to include the 12z data?

What is crazy is the UKMET trended strongly towards the slider camp. The GEM trended strongly towards the AIFS camp. They almost swapped spots. The AIGFS trended strongly towards the slider camp.

Does that UKMET accumulation map include ice? That map is insanity.

The 12z UKMET absolutely buries most of the forum.

It was a strong cutter at 0z. Did it also trend south?
