As you can see I've already mentioned that after looking at soundings it was more zr than I thought...But it takes a little time to get soundings in and if you would take a look at the model every once in a while you would be able to tell how close it was to just plain rain.

 

I bet it will be close. Most of the time it is with these things here. But I was confused as to why you said it looked like mostly rain when RaleighWx had said right before that it showed signifigant sleet/freezing rain. I thought you were just trying to be pessimistic.

False. You said you didn't think it would trend away from a big storm. But I'm with you...I hope HOPE we get a big snowstorm too. Unfortunately snowstorms don't happen because Cold Rain hopes they will or because the Dgex clown map shows one or because the 7 day GFS is on board.

 

Based on the consistency of the models right now showing ice for here, right now I don't think this will trend to more rain and less of a winter storm.

Really, I am just commenting and keeping it in banter. It's like some people want to be the weather forum police and make everyone an expert on how to read the models and forecasting before they can comment on what is going on with the weather.

 

I wasn't trying to come across as being the forum police and apologize if that's the way it seemed. What got me going was you questioning me on the rain issue when you haven't even looked at the model. We're all good!

It kinda does seem like this thing can't get any closer. :)

 

Its been relatively unchanged from 24 hours ago till now. I mean really its so foolish to keep talking about something thats been stuck in the day 6-7 timeframe for what about 36 hours or so.  :whistle:  :nerdsmiley:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While there is 2 snow chances for the SE tonight and tomorrow night while folks want to be silly turn a blind eye... oh my the gfs at 150. :axe:

I don't so much mind discussing the possibility for next week, but I agree that it's unwise to not pay any attention to the near term. I'd like to see the Saturday thing trend colder, but we're getting a little close for huge swings in the thermal profile.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0078
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1209 PM CST THU FEB 06 2014

AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL/SRN MS...SERN LA...SWRN AL

CONCERNING...WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION

VALID 061809Z - 062215Z

SUMMARY...A SHIELD OF WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL QUICKLY MOVE
EWD ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE DEEP SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION...A VIGOROUS SRN-STREAM SHORTWAVE IMPULSE IS APPROACHING
THE LOWER MS VALLEY PER RECENT WATER VAPOR LOOPS. PRECEDING DCVA IS
MODESTLY ENHANCING MID-LEVEL DESTABILIZATION ABOVE A SFC-BASED COLD
DOME. IR AND RADAR MOSAIC IMAGERY IMPLY A RECENT UPTICK IN SHALLOW
CONVECTION OVER SRN LA AT THE LEADING EDGE OF THE DRY SLOT ATTENDANT
TO THE IMPULSE. THIS ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY SPREAD EWD OVER SERN
LA...FAR SERN MS...AND SWRN AL DURING THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

WITH THE 12Z LIX RAOB WET-BULB PROFILE INDICATING DEEP SUB-FREEZING
AIR BENEATH A SHALLOW WARM LAYER BETWEEN H85 AND H7...SLEET AND
PERHAPS SNOW WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED
PRECIPITATION...AFFECTING AREAS FROM NEAR PATTERSON TOWARD BATON
ROUGE AND THEN EWD TOWARD NEW ORLEANS AND PERHAPS GULFPORT DURING
THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. WEAK SFC COLD ADVECTION AND SUB-CLOUD
EVAPORATION WILL REINFORCE THE COLD DOME...WITH ICE PRECIP PHASES
BEING MANIFESTED AT THE SFC. LIQUID-EQUIVALENT PRECIPITATION RATES
OF 0.03-0.05 INCH/HOUR WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE ACTIVITY --
SNOWFALL RATES AOB 0.4 INCH/HOUR -- THOUGH SUCH RATES WILL BE BRIEF
OWING TO THE FAST MOTION OF THE IMPULSE.

FARTHER NORTH INTO PARTS OF CNTRL/SRN MS INCLUDING AREAS SOUTH OF
JACKSON TOWARD MCCOMB EWD TO THE PINE BELT REGION...HINTS OF
CYCLONIC ARCHING OF THE BROADER PRECIP SHIELD INTO THIS REGION
SUGGEST DEFORMATION-ZONE-RELATED ENHANCED ASCENT. THIS IS ALSO WHERE
DEEPER COLD AIR EXISTS PER THE 12Z JAN RAOB. SNOW WILL BE MORE
LIKELY IN THESE AREAS...AND HEAVY SNOW HAS RECENTLY BEEN REPORTED
UPSTREAM IN ALEXANDRIA LA. MODERATE TO LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE AS THE IMPULSE QUICKLY TRACKS ACROSS THE
REGION...WITH SNOWFALL RATES OF 0.3-0.6 INCH PER HOUR POSSIBLE OVER
AN HOUR OR TWO OF DURATION.

THE AFOREMENTIONED ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY TRANSLATE EWD INTO SWRN AL
IN TANDEM WITH THE TRAJECTORY OF THE IMPULSE AFTER 1930-2000Z.
