This was never supposed to be much of an event for us to begin with.  The trend today was the models getting colder and were hinting at stronger wedging affecting us.  The current temperature does not matter considering the colder air is just now starting to come down from the Northeast.  We are not supposed to be even close to freezing right now.  In fact the RGEM (18z) had us above freezing until 8-9AM in the morning.

 

RGEM is far from worthless.

 

Don't get me wrong, I understand, and completely agree with you.  I'm just saying that there isn't a mention publically about the possibility of anything here, so it would appear that nobody serving the public is using it.  And yes, our high temperatures will likely be at midnight before the northeasterly flow kicks in.

 

I don't believe I've heard one local met speak of dropping daytime temperatures, but I could have missed it.

In all seriousness though, according to the Meteogram generator, this is 2-4 degrees above the model guidance.

Then this is really going to freak you out:

 

 

 

AS OF 8 PM...PRECIP IS GRADUALLY EXPANDING EAST ACROSS GA AND THE TN  

VALLEY THIS EVENING. TIMING OF THE ACTIVITY INTO OUR FORECAST AREA  

AGREES PRETTY WELL WITH THE INHERITED FORECAST...SO ONLY SOME FINE  

TUNING OF NEAR TERM POPS WAS NECESSARY.  

 

IT/S QUITE INTERESTING TO COMPARE THE LATEST SURFACE OBS TO THE THE  

MOST RECENT MODEL GUIDANCE. NAM SURFACE WET BULB TEMPS...WHICH  

DEPICT THE WARMEST AND LEAST DRY SURFACE LAYER IN COMPARISON WITH  

THE GFS AND ECMWF...IS VERIFYING PRETTY WELL...WHILE THE GFS AND  

ECMWF ARE QUITE A BIT TOO LOW WITH THE WET BULBS. OF COURSE...THIS  

DOESN/T MEAN THAT THIS TREND WILL HOLD THROUGHOUT THE UPCOMING  

EVENT...BUT IT WILL BE SOMETHING TO WATCH CLOSELY...SINCE THE NAM  

CONTINUES TO BE THE LEAST AGGRESSIVE MODEL IN PUSHING THE COLD/DRY  

SURFACE AIR SOUTHWEST. OVERALL...SAW VERY LITTLE REASON TO TINKER  

WITH THE CURRENT PUBLIC FORECAST PAST THE NEXT 6 HOURS.

How are we looking with the Gulf convection? Any dry slots showing up on the short range models yet? Are the temps running on the warm side of guidance? Is the storm forming more north yet?

All I know is the GFS gives me 15+ inches of snow and I already promised my 5 year old that. The GFS would never let down a 5 year old, right?
