12z GFS went back south. Mobile to Atlanta to Charlotte is where the precipitation axis is. It could be underestimating the precipitation shield on the NW side but obviously we are not there yet to worry about. However I’m good with that run. It keeps us in play. 

Right where we want it on the GFS.

Ensembles have lots of members south of the TN border and into the Carolinas.  Probably where we want it at this range, but ensemble support for a low road system is there.  I suspect it trends north, but that gives me pause.  Let's see if the Euro holds that 12z line for a few runs.  I don't think there is a big block to keep it south...just the cold air press.  I highly doubt that cold air is modeled correctly yet.  Now, if by tomorrow evening we are still talking about suppressed ensembles...

This might belong in a banter thread but I didn't see one except for summer banter unless I am overlooking it. Just read that NWS Morristown's chief meteorologist who's worked for Morristown for over 20 years is retiring. I'm wondering with that sort of experience with our complicated region departing how forecasts may be affected. I imagine some of the backtracking we've seen over the years where overnight would get aggressive then day time back peddle if that was the chief sort of moderating things based on his region knowledge and climatology. Thought it was interesting to share.

I have thought the exact same thing at times about the "Young night shift".  Could be.

Model trends encouraged me today. Per my last post, I'm much more interested in midweek than Sunday. Southeast Tennessee needs a new system, not one chasing the Saturday rain. Ensemble members and some ops and AI runs are delivering a midweek system.

Others keep it buried in the Deep South. Again I'd much rather be concerned about moisture getting north, rather than warm noses and cutters. That's all for today. Long day at the office, but I was watching trends. I'll sleep happy tonight.
