Pretty normal oscillations happening, IMO. In the overall scheme of things we see models waffling back and forth about 75-100 miles. Probably not unreasonable. We can all hope the overrunning is a bit more robust when we get to game time.
The ICON seems to be putting less emphasis on the low in the Atlantic and more on the low in the gulf. I don’t think it really matters as it relates to the overrunning which spreads across the state, but I did find it interesting.
Agree. I was waiting for the heavier snow bands on the icon to pivot through NE TN. For some reason they just dissipate. Not likely, but I suppose it could have been downslope aided.
Gong to be a bunch of nervous people in here waiting for the rest of 0z to come in. Middle and west TN, especially north of 40 looking good with the 0z NAM
Yeah, I noticed that. My downslope city comment was mostly in jest, but it’s always in the back of my mind. It’s been showing on models on and off all day. The two things we do extremely well up here are dryslots and downslope.
It looks like you guys/gals down around Knoxville have a GREAT shot with this one. Should be fairly widespread. This track has already been more fun than anything we got a look at last year.
Except for the Johnson City area. We are the Chattanooga of northeast TN. I'm going to lobby the leaders of our city to change our name to "Downslope" City. lol
I agree with this and have mentioned it several times. Modeling doesn't do well showing overrunning precip. Seems they are echoing that sentiment with their last sentence.
Definitely perplexing. The Euro (before their changes a while back) was easily the best model for north america at day 5-7 and it usually wasn't close. Maybe their changes have helped their forecasting in Europe, but it's been woefully inconsistent here where we need it. lol
Just looking at the UK model. It's been pretty consistent regarding the snow axis the last three runs. Nice battle between the American modeling with the snow axis further southeast and the UK with the snow axis further northwest.
Another benefit for modeling, and a reason to start centering around a general solution we can have some confidence in……….is the big wrapped up storm for tomorrow is pretty consistent among modeling now.
If we continue heading this direction….. This could trend to a two part snow storm for some (maybe widespread). Overrunning followed by the main course. I won’t be surprised to see an overachiever with the overrunning….
Apparently, you don't want to be a top 5 team playing this week. 1 and 2 fell yesterday. TN getting whipped at half. Looks like Kansas is going to have to bring home a win for the top 5 crew.
