Much less precip on 18z NAM through Monday evening (7pm) in CAD areas.  GSO goes from 1" precip to .3".  Still a cold run with good track, just not as much qpf.  At this point I'm more worried about Euro solution, so good to see NAM still showing weaker further south system with good CAD.

So GSP gets above freezing (33) at 0Z Tuesday, per the NAM. That's the same as 12Z, but it's definitely a little colder further north of Greenvile/in part of WNC (more areas at/below freezing). I don't know if it's enough to be considered a "trend," but it's interesting. 12Z GFS looks identical (referring to temps only).

Here is a good read, even if you are outside of the Georgia area.  Kind of interesting they are going with the NAM vs global guidance.

Here are some highlights from the paper:

 

 

Confidence increasing for a Significant Ice Event (> 0.25”) across northeast Georgia late Sunday Night through Monday

Models have been flip-flopping a bit (cold-warm-cold)

Try not to get caught up in the “run-to-run” changes  Still 2-3 days out

Good news! We’re getting into the shorter-range / high-resolution model window (0-84 hours)  Have better handle on shallow cold air/wedge events

 

Trending south – will help to maintain shallow cold air “wedge” across NE GA a bit longer

Rain could mix with or briefly changeover to snow before ending with “wrap-around” / backside of Storm System

NAM get's a bad rap but look at it how did for todays mini-coastal that is affecting eastern NC.  Just compared it to the GFS/CMC/Euro and by far was the most accurate when comparing the 12z runs on Tuesday.  

 

Still think the Euro/EPS will verify better for this Monday/Tuesday deal but just saying.

Just a lurker but the NAM was the best with the Jan storm too

The Euro is pretty much out on its own right now, so one Model going against 3 or4, I'd be willing to toss the Euro and not think twice about it

12z para gfs looks a lot like euro.  Low tracks right over mountains.  Doesn't seem likely, but regular gfs is just east of that track.  Top top two major models not really on our side.  Both around a qtr inch of qpf in CAD areas that would be frozen/freezing, but both have heavy rain on back side that would likely cause flooding issues.

Thinking the same thing here - Wife has a local 11:00 Dr. appt., so I'll be rooting for an earlier changeover.

 

Currently, the local forecast says:

A chance of snow, freezing rain, and sleet before 11am, then a chance of rain or freezing rain between 11am and noon, then a chance of rain after noon. Cloudy, with a high near 39. Chance of precipitation is 50%.

GFS coming in a little flatter with the wave

 

 

GFS is substantially flatter with the wave this run, but it's still warming the wedge through the storm

 

Barely a surface reflection.  Just comparing the last several runs, the consistency is amazing  :lmao:

 

Can the EPS and GFS be any different.
