Just woke up. Let me see if my summary is correct?

- Euro didn’t budge
- GFS ticked south
- NAM NAMed DC north, flirt with mix line
- SREF a whole new level of NAMing
- Ukie even more south
- LWX disregarded euro and ukie

Euro moved north by about 40 mi with the heaviest stuff

Local stations predictions this AM in my area. Calling for quite a bit more than the NWS. As well as about a 10th to a quarter inch of ice.

I’m surprised.. that’s kind of a ballsy call by them. I feel like they’re usually a little more reserved. I’m right on that line of 3-6. I’ll believe that when I see it. You think the backside of that vort gets us?

Definitely got wetter and brought the big time qpf more north. Tightening up the gradient which we’ve seen in a number of big ones. It and gfs aren’t far off now. Today whatever moves they make will probably be in the same direction. 

Our north crew would take 50 miles and the dc contingent would get smashed still.

It’s hard to tell, it looks like they damn near copy and pasted the Euro. Channel  10 is lower than them and the NWS has us around 1-2 inches with ice. Who knows. We are in a weird spot. My gut is telling me that cold air will stay a little more stout against the blue-ridge, and north of 460 will stay snow longer and over perform. Just feels like the CAD in our area is always underestimated on the models.

That was my thought as well wrt the euro Ukie blend. Can’t say I blame them. It’s like taking the -800 odds on a sports betting site. The Nam concerns me with the non existent amount of moisture down here but from what I’ve seen it’s the only one doing it. Otherwise it’s a pretty well juiced system, with qpf values around 1 inch. One thing I am pumped about is Sunday morning is damn near 19 here so anything that falls should stick nicely.

I agree about the NAM. I’m tossing it out this AM. lol

Outside the Ukie (and remember how we survived just fine forecasting without it for years?), I think guidance is all converging to about the solution that makes sense given climo and this setup. Going to be a fun one!

In your opinion, what makes more sense given climo and setup: GFS or Euro?
