  1. You can see how dynamic lift cools the column on the GFS. A little suspect TBH, but not out of the question
  2. Also colder (then 6z anyway) a bit of a double edged sword, which is why there isn't much upside with this one
  3. Approximate cutoff between what will largely fall as rain vs mostly snow (assuming the NAM's temp profiles are correct) Within the snow zone, a coating to half an inch is possible with a small chance of more if banding develops.
  4. 850 temps at onset favor snow West of 85 and rain East. Doesn't push the cold air East until after most of the moisture has exited. Just something to watch Tommorow morning
  5. This has a the makings of a big surprise for Tidewater VA
  6. The funny part is a band of rain is supposed to roll through here tomorrow
  7. I think he could very well be right, if as usual cold air takes longer than expected to bleed over the mountains. However,I do feel we could overcome with decent rates and get a coating or so as far SE as RAH
  8. I am an optimist at heart but I will believe above normal precip when I see it
  9. It helps that sun angle is still relatively low and ground temps should be fairly cold with how cold it's been.
  10. Third wet non-accumulating snow of the year? At least we do that well
  11. Nah, we need a place to crash out regardless that's not the main thread
  12. It's pretty wild that coastal VA is looking at rain while SE Georgia might be the jackpot for snow
  13. I do think rates will over perform somewhere and there will be a surprise, in a narrow band. Just impossible to nail down where until Sunday
  14. My deep dive analysis on the 12z model suite can be found below:
  15. Thermals were actually a touch colder this run on the GFS
  16. Continues the trend towards late bloomer.
  17. A bit south/more positive tilt through 69, seems to be a step towards the Euro
  18. RGEM tilts neutral too late and too far north so it's a late bloomer, best precip over VA by the time the cold air arrives. Axis of best dynamics over DC
  19. Timing will be key too, if we can get that band of WAA moisture to set up early enough in the AM it will be easier for temps to crash and snow to start accumulating
  20. The things is, we're in a great spot to thread the needle in terms of model spread. It's just frustrating we have no wiggle room one way or the other and it's trended that way for a days now (even as track/vortex evolution has trended favorable)
  21. I'm beginning to believe something like this is our best shot at accumulating snow with rain changing over to snow at the end
  22. My biggest concern is the trend towards the low popping off the coast further north, in a more miller B fashion. This would allow more warm air to migrate inland and best dynamics to stay north of the VA border until the low starts moving more NE. At that point it becomes a cold chasing moisture kind of situation
