Cmc looks more like the gfs than the nams/icon

Cmc doesn’t quite have that conveyor belt of moisture feed between during the period when the hand over of the low starts taking place at the coast like you see on the 12k. But I see the cmc trying to setup similar banding structure as the nam. Wasn’t a full move by any means towards nam

I’m ready for what the NAM is bringing too...:tomato:

Scraff gets it. You guys had better look out. The usual deathbanding is imminent. NWS KLWX has seen the potential CSI banding potential. I noticed that yesterday afternoon in the modeling. You guys are about to get shredded by snow tonight well on into Sunday. I see they expanded the WSW's well north.

LWX keeping expected snowfall the same but upping the max and min.  Good trend up to game time.  I am a little on the outside looking in but increasing my bar to 4".  

makes sense.  LWX has been rock solid so far. Nothing has happened yet so no reason to up things too much and get silly.  Slow and steady.  Good approach.

I'm a little north of you and my bar is set at 3. Up here we just haven't gotten the bump up that the dc folks have gotten.

yep...not quite the excitement up this far but I think our fail scenario (in my mind) of 1-3" is becoming less likely.

@Bob Chill remember the other day when we were discussing how the guidance kept adjusting to our west?  That trend continued and is accounting for much of our improvements.  The track was always perfect but a couple days ago the models were washing out the upper energy so much it did no good by the time it got here. There is some degradation of the snowfall to our west as there is much less precipitatable water there but the upper feature is holding together more and more and so as it passes over us and enters the more favorable environment near the coast it's able to fire up some additional banding.  Trend is our friend here. Really looks nice down your way. I'm fringed up here!  :arrowhead:

Yea, you're fringed on models. Enjoy your 6"+ of cold powder though
