These so called NAM resolution issues earlier. I wonder if it had any bearing on us.  Probably not.  Will see at 0z.  I know the low  pressure offshore SC/NC  during the storm has been jumping around a LOT. Also intense thunderstorms in the GOM may have robbed some moisture on 18z run.  

I just really think it picked up the big numbers later than the other models and hence the smaller numbers later also.

Guess we'll see tomorrow. One thing is for sure. The airport will measure 2 inches no matter what

I would say the airport has been much better as of late and you have none other than our short timer, RIC Airport, to thank as he helped get this corrected.  Since the 1996 debacle, I believe he was integral in getting them to move location of their measuring station.

My instinct based on no logic is we won't get anything hardly. Maybe an inch or 2. If so I'll probably just ignore any talk of snowstorms any further than a day out.

Kind of goes against everything your screen name says. Are you trying the old opposite trick?

Just saw that, here is what he wrote:

 

“For you Weather Geeks out there and sick twisted weather freaks yes I saw the  18z   3KM NAM --  I will be ignoring it completely. 

Indeed if you take a look at the last four runs of  3km NAM  model precipitation amounts at say Richmond for example you get this kind of variation  0z -0.91”    6z-0.51 “  12z=  0.77”   18z = 0.45.   

This kind of up and down back and forth with the precipitation amounts in the short Range models are common and it also exists in the GFS   Euro  and 12km NAM models just to name a few. It is one of those things you have to deal with as a meteorologist.  I have absolutely no doubt that when the 0z  NAM  comes out at 9:00 p.m. it will have increased the moisture in all areas of Central and Eastern Virginia once again.”
