NorthHillsWx Posted Tuesday at 08:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:42 PM I’m not going as far as to say we’ve been NAM’d (because it’s honestly believable given other modeling) but that’s a beautiful run for this entire forum just about 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, note that all of the snow is well north of the 552 thickness line, which makes sense unlike the 12Z GFS’s snow going to ~555. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDawg Posted Tuesday at 08:42 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:42 PM NAM a little more amped therefor warmer aloft that run, but stronger CAD and much colder at the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted Tuesday at 08:43 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:43 PM While the surface depiction was excellent, we need to hope the nam is done trending so amped. There’s a fine line and we’re starting to cross it in the mid levels. Much of that snow had sleet/frz rain soundings, even in the mountains. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it's close but it's also the HR 84 NAM so it should be looked on a broader scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted Tuesday at 08:45 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:45 PM Not liking the the new NAM very much. Almost an inch of ZR- yuck. Hope it is bit too warm and maybe we will get more sleet because of evap cooling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olafminesaw Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM I wouldn't think too much about the (regular) NAM. It has an amped bias and a cold bias and overall isn't very good. The hires model is great for thermals and identifying banding features but not as useful for track, QPF etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think ATL's snow event comes next week. Setup and position of high to me is way better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m holding my breath to that late Thursday night NAM run. No doubt we have a storm but how much of what is still in question. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked at a NAM sounding near me, not much of a warm nose showing up really so the algorithm may be too icy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually that layer though from like 680-850 which shows as -1C with strong SW flow verifies way milder in the end. Often 1-2C milder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted Tuesday at 09:17 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:17 PM ICON has been consistent. Wake gets between 2 and 7 inches. The cutoff seems legit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgain13 Posted Tuesday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:18 PM I'm guessing this would be a more fluffy snow up this way? Temps look to be upper 20's while snowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NGTim Posted Tuesday at 09:23 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:23 PM I really want to take something to knock me out till maybe Thursday cause this is like hoping your team makes it through the playoffs to the championship game. But, seriously, trying to temper things just in case. On a scale of 1 to 10, what do we need to watch out for (those things like after a bust, we say the xyz got us). I feel like most of these are zero or on the very low end, except maybe warm nose. 1 no worry < - - - - > 10 worry ----------------------------------------- 1) Sun Angle (guessing zero) 2) Warm Nose - 6?, 7? 3) Gulf convection robbing moisture (haven't heard anything so I assume none) 4) Went too negative tilt 5) Too positive tilt 6) High was in the wrong position 7) Cold couldn't get past the mountains (cold already locked in place i think) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
