I suspect it's wrong tbh. It shows the precip beginning across the state in the morning hours. By 11 am it's over the Central Valley as snow. But it switches to rain briefly by 2 pm while the precip is falling at a decent clip. It's not very common to switch over to rain in the middle of an event while precip is falling steadily in my experience. 

 

The main thing of importance is that it now has basically .4 to .7 qpf from the Highland Rim and points East. It's more in line with the other models.

 

Exact details like qpf amounts will vary, as will any temp issues, as we get closer. The storm track as of now is. favorable on all models for 2 to possibly a whole lot more inches of snow for a large portion of the Tennessee valley,

John, is that because of time of day when the precip starts? In other words, if it started on Tuesday night rather than afternoon, that would likely be mainly snow at the onset, correct?

I was spot checking some of the data this morning from the Euro, and it looked close, but pretty good for KTRI.  Was Mr. Bob talking about the central and southern valley only, or up this way too?

 

He seemed to be mainly referring to the 0z Euro and 0z GFS runs, said 6z NAM looked better and that he hoped the 2m temps would trend a little better.  Don't want to put words in his mouth but I think he was focusing on central to southern valley.

You all have been looking at these models for a lot longer than I have. Is it true that the NAM just isn't very accurate outside of 48 hours? I have read a ton of people that say that, but do you all believe that to be true? One thing that I've noticed is that this system just keeps getting pushed back further and further. Seemed like a couple of days ago we were looking at Monday. Now the main precip (whether we get anything or not) looks to be on Wed.
