I'm guessing that's why NOAA developed the NBM model. Literally just melt and blend it all down and see what the average of the average is and hope it's close to the final solution or close enough such that major adjustments aren't required.
It's actually been very consistent but it's a bit of an (southern) outlier. Keeps mix line near and south of state line. Likely not going to happen as much I hate saying that. A solution somewhere between the NAM and RGEM is probably most realistic.
Less than 48 hours from start time. NAM going even further north is def a cause for concern. If it's still hell bent on that on the 0z run tonight that's a major red flag. See what the other models do today.
Nws grids for snowfall. Albany scaled way back to blend better with surrounding offices.
Buf and Bgm still > Ctp along state line.
Buf > than Bgm along the Lake Plain.
Edit: forgot Buf is forecasting some minor accum later today that's also included. Here the pre-storm grid forecast.
Not sure if that minima is gonna be legit or not. Could see a dry slot develop somewhere in the forum depending on how the primary behaves/tracks. Hopefully not before thumping anyway.
Wxbell pretty awesome site.
Looks like there little bit in the grids for late tomorrow afternoon/evening ahead of the main storm. Buffalo forecasting more than Bgm.
Nws grids thru 0z Saturday
Always interesting to see how the individual offices are thinking. The sharp drop offs at various county lines is kinda funny. Albany much more bullish than Buf, Bgm, and Btv.
