TYS - Avg 1.3", 7 runs with 2"+, 3 runs near 5"

CHA - Avg .6", 3 runs with 2"+, 1 run near 4"

TRI - Avg 1.2", 5 runs with 2"+, 3 runs 4-7"

Now I would take this and twice on Sunday, hopefully we have a clear picture with today’s model runs! Although I’m not counting on it!

12Z Nam puts out .1 to .4 of an inch across the forum.  Lets hope its not just being it usual bias with generous qpf.  If it were true looking at ratios that to me appear to be 10:1 at the start of the snow for most but rapidly increase from there the NAM would easily be 1-4 across the forum with some winners pushing possibly to as high as 6" in a few spots upper cumberland area.

One thing that does give me a little hope the little disturbance currently in MO, AR and KS has seemed to really out perform what was modeled over the last 24 hours, its not related to our front but models had a hard time with that in terms of qpf and snow totals it has out performed maybe they will with this as well.

I just told my wife the same thing, but she’s clueless:lol:

Nice summarization of the SREF and Meteograms. Thanks for putting that together. The SREF can be a very useful tool for trends and to see what the NAM/GFS might trend toward for future runs.

12z nam looks still good little slower then last run I think but still stout on the 12 km maps at hr 57. Still snowing in valley at 63.  Covers most state 1-4 inches this run with pockets of higher .


I think slower is better. Slower means that the flow is backing up somewhat to slow the front down. This allows more moisture to build along the front. The NAM was a little sharper with the trough this run. Let’s see if it translates to the global models any.

I would like to know if any snow is reaching the ground southwest of Memphis. There are some 20-30dbz returns that the HRRR and other models are not picking up on.

Yeah I'm really surprised to see 20dbz returns entering Mississippi at the moment.  I'm curious as well, only OBS I see of snow is Northern AR, but with 20 dbz returns I wouldn't be surprised of at least flurries making it across the Mississippi river into Northern MS.  If so this thing would have really out performed.

I haven't seen an update to the RGEM on Tidbits since 18Z yesterday which is really kind of annoying because its my preferred model for this time range.  GFS to me is an outlier since it is the most progressive of all the major models.  Curious to see the 12Z GEM once it gets enough frames loaded.

GEM seems to be closer to the NAM just a tad less QPF but still a 1-3 inch event with a few areas above that (considering ratios rising above 10:1 during the event).  Seems a middle of the road model between NAM and GFS, but closer to NAM than GFS in connecting to the gulf and a bit slower.  Really wish I could see the RGEM.

48HR RDPS on pivotal shows 1-1.1.5 in west tn on end of its run don't know if that's what your looking for.

I believe they aren't the same.  Both are canadian, but think they are different models in their ingestion of data and output.  I think of the RGEM as the Canadian NAM in a sense, but seen it perform very well over the years in the 24 to 48 hour range.

Definitely an overachiever in AR...they extended the WWA a couple counties to the east. 

I don't even think the NWS offices in that region thought they would be issuing WWA for this if we went back 24 hours, let alone having to expand them.  Maybe that is a sign of things to come with models possibly under performing.  Would be nice anyway.

Strangely the 12Z RGEM just ran with no 0 or 6Z before it...  Weird, anyway it is also not progressive has a good connection to the gulf but lower QPF, though we are literally at the end of its run, hopefully it runs the next few model cycles.  Up to .2 of an inch in the forum as a max, but because it is not quite a progressive we are not seeing the whole of the event yet.

Suspect there are still some issues with the RGEM, just looks strange.

I'll let you all know if I start seeing any snow here in hardeman county.
