Strong primary

You know, I'm not the smartest person in this thread weather-wise, so someone explain to me how I (and anyone S to SW) of the 540 line running from Dover to Martinsburg to Pittsburgh is shown as all snow with that low placement in north-central WV and a non-dominating high over the northeast to keep CAD going? I know 540 isn't everything, but it is something. I won't complain if it happens, just don't understand what it is seeing.

Wouldn’t more zr mean system more north though? Or just the thermals are different 

For KC at least it shows the warm layer aloft is stronger than suggested even 6-12 hours ago.

Don’t read a ton into it, but KC has had tons of FZRA. Seems like 12z euro had them straddling snow/fzra line now. 3k NAM had sleet. GFS had snow/sleet.

I think in this particular case -- it's less to do with the thermal profile and more to do with the fact that it's unsaturated below -10C in the cloud layer. Lack of ice crystals preventing any sort of nucleation.

Ah interesting. Nice catch.

This is sim radar at hour 48 when the HRRR truncates.  Hard to say how much more.  Could easily be another 1-2"

future radars are still very much inaccurate also the hrrr can be very hit or miss too. If this does play out those joy for all

First model of 0z suite. Does this have the new raob data and what not? Assume yes but idk what hrrr gets. 

       00Z HRRR does *NOT* have the 00Z raob data.

      Edit:   to be clear, this cycle can never have them, as its start time is too early

Thanks for the cautionary tale.   We only average 1.5" of snow so this is new for us,

Wow.  I know, the HRRR waaaay out at its range but that is insane (i.e., amazing).  How much of that is the coastal enhancement?  Unless that's occurring at the time this ends.

Almost all of that is from the initial low
