Cautiously optimistic for us lowlanders. Edgewater/Annapolis is consistently on the northern fringe of the IP line. One thing I do love seeing is consistency on the CCB pull through for here. If that materializes....we will get raked before the storm bids, "Au Revoir!" on its way out. One of the reasons we see the 2-4" uptick for Eastern AA Co. Fingers crossed!

Appears my area ENE from Baltimore benefits as well from the CCB, or at least assuming it is,  as it moves East across the Northern areas.

I believe the GFS runs on the FV3 core and is fairly hi-res compared to what it used to be. RGEM runs at a resolution similar to the NAM with the HRDPS the Canadian version of the hi-res 2.5km, although it has some significant issues with a multitude of parameters. This is a great question for the MDL people since they have more of the background. 


From what I have read, the NWS chose the FV3 as the new GFS's (and GEFS) dynamical core in part because it uses less computer resources than other options.

It's starting to feel like Baltimore and north are starting to lose this one...

Sweating over the icon? If anything the euro (which went way south) has ticked north the last 2 or 3 runs. I know the GEM being south like the euro sucks but I would be surprised if the ICON is remotely close to the final solution…

Not a whole lot of spread now. The Euro wins again. 

Some models have 10” as far north as almost Harrisburg pa and others have it over Richmond. Theres still plenty of spread and we don’t know if it’s going to shift even more. Seen some ens members of both euro and gfs with hardly a system once it crosses the mountains and gives very little snow to any of us. This storm is a pain.

I expect it to trend north some the final 24-36 hours. So long as this is where it is now were probably fine. It’s when DC is on the northern fringe 48 hours out that we’re in big trouble.

This is how we winter around here! Whoop!

The spread isn’t that large really.  It’s gonna snow in Maryland and Virginia.  3-6 or 4-8 probably works for most of the area except the edges.  Most storms are like this with the shifting and model disagreement about placement of bands.

My thoughts exactly. I think Baltimore and points west are still very much in the game for big totals. Even the northern tier is still in it for warning level snow given temps and ratios. Tomorrow will be very telling. If euro continues to tick north and gfs / NAM hold serve, it’s game on
