Wow.  12 hours out and things are not set.  Not sure at this point that it matters which side of the Apps this goes.  Even if it turns the corner, it probably will be too close to switch things back to snow.  But really, I am not sure I have seen the models so "indecisive" on which side of the Apps to take.  Just a thought...The timing and progression of the 0z UKMET and Euro seem to be slower and lean towards a Miller A/inland runner track.  But by the time the inland runner occurs, there is no more cold air. Just thinking outside of the box...what if they delay and wind up phasing w/ the kicker?  Has happened before.

It's not even an inland runner on the Euro, it goes from East of Charlotte to off the coast of Virginia from 60 to 66.

My concern is getting more freezing rain in my area than currently forecasted.  I've seen it before--as recent as last February--where a little ice is forecast, but WWA takes over sooner and a half inch of freezing rain falls.  I'd rather have a sleet fest than that stuff.

Wasn't liking the in house model from WCYB in Bristol this morning. Shows a brief light period of snow, then most of the accumulating snows stay north in Kentucky and Virginia until 4:30 am tomorrow.

Radar should start to fill in around the I-40 corridor in the coming hours. If it doesn't, the higher totals before a changeover might be in trouble

It's not even an inland runner on the Euro, it goes from East of Charlotte to off the coast of Virginia from 60 to 66.

Turns the corner and runs inland from Charlottte to Delmarva. Yes, it is an inland runner. Either way...crazy to seey that kind of change from the Euro so close.

Edit: WxBell looks slightly different than TropicalTidbits on low placement. WxBell is what I use. Not allowed to post pay Euro slides or would post them here.

MRX popped a Winter Storm Warning for a large part of my local area (TRI, Oak Ridge, Greeneville & up into SW VA)

Looks like its trying to give Knox north a ice storm on 12 nam

 

Exactly my concern I posted earlier.  If this starts as rain, then I'm hoping for a quick warm-up.  Plain rain is better than the freezing variety. 

 

If I'm not gonna see snow, or even sleet--give me a cold, unfrozen rain.

Very concerning trend today out of the short range models. The HI-RES nam and the HRRR are shifting the precip shield well north into Kentucky cutting down on amounts. The GFS and the RGEM are the only models left that keep enough precip south. 

 

 

 

Yea I think it is time to hang this one up

Yeah I've noticed that...  If the entire axis shifts it doesn't really matter what temp it is.
