NAM still has very light Tuesday snow showers,

with DC area closer to the precipitation axis and

lighter snow showers towards the M-D line.

 

   probably not fair to call it "very light snow showers", as the simulated radar products show an organized area of "synoptic" snow, and liquid totals are still 0.10"+ over much of the area with 0.25+ just south.    not saying it's correct, but while it has admittedly backed off a bit from its earlier solutions (with a weaker 500 wave), it hasn't gone to a totally weak event either

Ah! A red tag person gone into the battle armed with NAM. The 6z NAM has some consistency. I'm using the term very light because visibilities may not drop much in this event. The societal impacts are likely to be traffic problems. just because...people drive with bad wipers, bad brakes and bald tires.

12z NAM will be the one to watch.  6z backed off slightly from 0z.  If all we see are the lightest shades of green at every hour interval we are toast.  Just my 2 cents.  Still can't believe it's this hard to get a car topper but I guess those are the cards we are playing.

      yes, still having a hard time jumping on board, as the NAM is really the only model with the stronger 500 mb solution that is required to make this happen.  I would normally discount the NAM being on its own island,  but the 9z SREF is still quite wet for our area, which makes me hesitant to totally write off the idea.

From a red tagger that gives this event a bit of a boost.  May end up nothing but at least we have some skin in the game.  Thank you sir.

The SREF has been pretty wet for 3 runs, and right with the NAM idea of a more northerly, robust wave. Still time. 12z runs will be telling ;)
