Holston_River_Rambler Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Some subtle but maybe important differences between the energy on the RGEM and the NAM. RGEM seems to like a more consolidated "bowling ball" type look at H5, while the NAM seems more strung out with the energy from North to South. These little differences can amplify as we go through time. RGEM at the also end looks like it is a little bit faster with the N stream energy that tries to drop in from Alberta and phase on the big globals. Overall at 54 hours the RGEM is further south with the big ball of energy than the NAM. Personally I like that and hope it verifies, because the further south it gets, the more latitude it all has to gain. It's a little more positively tilted and flatter than its parent (I think??) the CMC, so hopefully that argues against the more amped miller B transfer types solutions, like the big on the CMC had at 12z. Only goes to hour 54 so these are just big guesses, so take with a salt lick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a question about travel, too. I am driving from Opryland to Chattanooga Sunday morning. I'm mainly worried about Monteagle - any thoughts? Most model guidance would suggest it will be too warm for snow on Sunday in southern Tennessee. That said nothing is really set yet so I would keep a sharp eye on the forecasts, models, and forum discussion for the next day or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 This thing is just so razor thin on the models. You could see an hour of heavy snow, an hour of heavy rain, and back and forth. It's going to come down to knowing your general climatology and how your area does in these situations. Usually I'd make out pretty well but occasionally I'll have mixing issues.

I'm encouraged to see it laying down the hammer, the WPC thought it was good enough to include in it's superblend of models. The GFS and UKIE are too progressive and open with the wave per WPC.

Wurbus Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Maybe the NAM is correct for once at 84...... So hard to try and not get hyped up for these events because of that pesky warm nose that seems to always comes up through the valley to shatter our dreams.

Wurbus Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If you change the toggle from "MSLP & Precip (Rain/Frozen) to Radar (Rain/Frozen) the FV3 goes out to 210. Here is a shot at 120. Looks like the low just stalls off the NC coast for 24+ hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Well, I'm back in the yard stick game on the FV3. That's about as good a run across our region as you'll ever see. 12 plus across so much of the state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
