I did like the uniformity of the 3k and NBM’s precip for sure. Less complex

I think the dual band structure is probably going to happen. NBM sorta smoothes that out. 3k NAM does a similar swath through somewhat overlapping zones of the banding at different stages of the storm.

I honestly don't recall when the Nam twins, HRRR, and SREFs have had as many identical runs in a row to themselves and each other as they have with this snowstorm.

Going to be some caving tonight we will see what model will win

Dewpoints in the single digits all the way down into the southern Carolinas. As @mitchnicksaid, it's great to have a solid antecedent airmass this time.

Ya hopefully not too much of a good thing though haha

Things I am sure of after the last 24 hours:

- The 12kNAM is indeed run on a 2001 Nokia flip phone

- This subforum is completely out of snowstorm shape. Worrying about the NAM 36+ hrs from start time lol. The 2016 version of us would be howling with laughter 

- The Euro is still king/queen/grandmaster

A slight drop in totals in S NJ/S PA and the 6” contour expanding southward in VA.  

Ya maybe dropped a little out toward the coast but back towards western and central Md the last run bumped up

It may be consistently wrong, but goddamn has it been consistent

First call:

I’m in favor of the northern group of models and not really buying into the foot plus snows around EZF, nor am I buying the weird “dry slot” in the WAA portion of the storm. Even though confluence is very strong and we have a cold antecedent airmass, this is a very dynamic system with a powerful 70kt low level jet. 

We’ll see dual banding with 850 and 700 fgen, with the former along i-66 (give or take) and the latter between i-70 and the M/D line. Mix line likely to reach DC, and sleet/fzdz may even occur as far north as i-70 WHEN rates lighten up (heavier rates will be snow). 

Greatest uncertainty is whether a coastal gets going in time for us to get an extra few inches. In my first call, I say it will.

My snowfall forecast (east of blue ridge):

South of CHO - EZF - La Plata line: 1-3” heavy mix
Delmarva South of Salisbury: 3-5”
Delmarva North of Salisbury: 5-10”++
EZF north to I-66: 3-6” mix
Between I-66 and I-70: 5-10” with some sleet/fzdz
Between I-70 and M/D line: 6-12” all snow

I reserve my right to make a final call when I see the need to make changes.

P.S. Beltway DC metro? 4-7” with some mix

I really like your thinking...

I sure hope you are right. I’m dying for a real storm. I haven’t seen a storm more than 6” in years.

I think the Beltway sees 6-10" but you're the meteorologist here so I'm probably in denial.

Vort is a tick south and faster through 16 on the HRRR this run. Lets see where it goes from here. 

By 18 hours it’s already diverged significantly from the “south” camp like the uk and rgem. Someone’s gonna cave very soon because the error is very early on.
