Notice the 2nd snow band developing in MS and streaking into AL. That is some of the higher pwats being tapped as lift begins to max.  I have seen this look before, I would guess that becomes the more dominant snow band.  As the trough tilts, it will likely move a little slower.  I think precip rates are being underplayed in that one band.

Here is a look at the higher PWATS trend.

Especially in the last 5 frames.

You don't think the convection being shown in the lower plains and deep south being shown on the NAM will choke off the QPF's?Relative speaking it's not strong but still there,just wondering :)

For moisture to be cutoff by convection, you typically need a more linear look to the south.  There just isn't enough there to provide any kind of bock.

You are probably right.The NAM in this range might even be wrong with convection.But still with convection it's showing would cut off the QPFS it seems to me some way or another.We've seen this many times in the Tn Valley with winter storms

not a big snow maker,ratios still look good at times

0z CMC is solid like the RGEM and then it pops a coastal that gives our friends east a good storm.

1-2 across most of the state (10:1 ratio on tropical tidbits) and some 3” spots over the Plateau and SWVA/KY.

It looks like the Canucks are going to go from the driest model to the wettest.

The best convective snows should be in our NW parts of the Valley again on the GFS.The NAM appears to be out to lunch,shouldn't surprise anyone in this time frame.I did buy into it..lol

 

The NAM gets over amped but it may have came in line at 00z with less qpf. The GFS is on an island though. It's either going to score when no other model does or it's going to bust badly. 

Right now it's the NAM/RGEM/Euro/GGEM vs the GFS.

You could be right.Looking at the convection on the euro just now it looks like the Nam.I just hate seeing convection into the southern plains and lower Ms Valley during a storm,its a recipe for disaster for us

The Euro is virtually the same as 12z. Little larger with the .2+ qpf in the NW and SEKY/Plateau area and a little drier in some areas but that's just run to run variability. 1-3 inch event for many, in line with all the other models except the gfs.

Couple inches by the euro,ratios still look decent in Mid Tn.Carvers warm spell looks to be pushed back a couple days,but the Euro shows it.I didnt think it would be that bad,but it could be on the Euro
