Yeah, follows the same logic as the latest NAM with weaker front end energy and less influence with the polar s/w, based on the precip shield compared to the last run.

 

That was a drastic change, as was the NAM.  Maybe the GFS is onto something, for all the beatings it took.  Though we don't know what either SR model would have done with the 2nd wave.

Wasn't really bummed about the NAM but the RGEM definitely is a bummer.  Where is Widre at, this is going to be an epic failure again, only this time we don't get model runs bumping up precip as we get closer only to fall apart as it starts, this will be a case where the QPF just trickles down off the models like an hour glass.  We will be rationalizing every day, well 3-5" is great....well 2-4" is OK....1-2" would still be a victory...a light glaze on the trees is our best shot.

Really?

Well the 12z RGEM was even weaker than the 0z.. it's going to wobble depending on the strengths and speed of these vorts.

Well, our local met on Fox at 10pm acts like nothing big is coming. Supposedly there is a chance of some precipitation starting at 1 am Tuesday through Tuesday night, then it is out of here according to him. He says there is a chance of "moderate precip". That is in stark contrast to all of the models we have been looking at the last day or two. What do they know that we don't?????

That making predictions of big wintry events and them busting(which this far out is an easy bet), makes them more foolish than by being overly conservative, and maybe under predicting a itThey want to keep their jobs.

Widre is the message board example..

No, it's got the classic look to it. A few exciting model runs a few days out. Always potential for change? Then the s/ws are in the right place. The precip shield isn't consistent. BL temps start to be a problem. My prediction is that Tuesday morning we'll be sitting in the mid to upper 30s with patchy blobs of precip stretching across northern AL, GA and upstate SC. We'll get a few rain or snow showers and then clearing in the evening. The second "event" will be all rain, or out to sea.

And here comes the trifecta.

Sounds like a pretty typical RDU winter storm to me, now I am pumped

I wouldn't expect anything different from you two.

 

 

Well a turd is still a turd if its dressed in powdered sugar and sprinkles.  

 

 

According to the both the euro/gfs so far this year I've should have had about 10 feet of snow with a 4ft glacier imby. It hasn't happened. We have a good solid month and half before all chances of snow are gone for the year but yet to have a big snow storm verify. If it hasn't happened yet it will not happen at all.

Everybody will be upbeat here in a few when GFS comes in looking like the earlier NAM

Looking at the last 3 runs of the RGEM, the changes are so subtle, shows the fine line.

 

I ran a trend loop on the model center and it's really just slower with the precip. In fact, the precip expands back from OK on the latest run, while the NAM took it out (due to the polar s/w phasing in)

He told me he had his ringer turned off and forgot about it? They were going to call him...

 

Thanks! :)   Maybe the guys north of here didnt want it to turn into a "SE winter" thing... ;/

 

I heard you call up though.. good talks man; good talks.  Kinda forced them into focusing on the South East.
