Short range models at range....view at your own peril.  LOL.  The 0z NAM was basically WAA.  That probably isn't right, but we'll see.  Models have definitely been clear that foothills could have issues with downsloping, rain shadow, and just general "storm ran out of stream" issues.  It should come as no surprise these characteristics are seen on each run.  There is no reason to be overly frustrated about things you cannot control.  It is what it is.  

I think we will see winter weather, but it bears repeating....we live in the sub tropics.  It wants to rain here, and if it can find a way...it will.  That said, let's get a look at the entire model suite before panicking.  The good thing is that is January...and it wants to snow sometimes.

The 0z NAM was juiced from the first frame - the very first hour.  The southern and northern streams had far more energy.  Could it be the system is better sampled now?  Sure.  But it is a classic model bias of the NAM.  That said, a robust trend north on modeling can happen at this range.  

Time will tell.  Just last night, the system looked entirely out of gas!

HRRR-“Hardly Recognizes Rain on Radar” is what I call it. I guess snow in this case. It can be good but there’s a reason most of its runs only go out 18hrs. It’s terrible beyond that and sometimes not good on current initialization.

ARW.  Pretty reliable little model that Jeff recommended years ago.  I tend to look at it to keep steady.  Hour 38 with two views - Ohio and GOM.  You can see the moisture transport a little bit stuggling along the Ohio River.  Now, go look at the convection along the GOM.  It is cutting off the fetch.  That is the main concern.  That said, that is a really healthy, southern winter storm depicted there.

Yes the ARW and FV3 are in reasonable agreement and along the lines of thinking earlier today. 

NAM can do some weird stuff at 48-60 hours. The other two have their bad days also, but when two of three agree I'm not too worried about the outlier.

Then of course the globals are still probably better until Thursday morning. I said I was done but I'm up watching Kansas. 

I need a KU come-back 2nd half, the globals to hold the line, and the ARW/FV3 to be right. Goodnight and think snow.

The 0z RGEM is running right now.  Out to 45, pretty steady and nothing like the 0z 12k NAM.  Might have jogged one county north vs two states.

The gulf low is about 2 counties south of 18z lol

This is from last January when the NAM was about 48-60 hours out and it suddenly decided to have East Tennessee in the 50s in a dry slot after it made a jarring NW jump.

I might actually crap my pants if we get a repeat of last year. I would also be sad for the folks in the Chattanooga area.
