Well to be fair with all of the 1/6 comparisons something that may be in this storms favor is better lift in the DGZ which really held 1/6 back from achieving much beyond its low end forecasts
I know everyone is excited over the NAM (and we should be!) as it provides a good high range output, but the 12z HRRR I think provides a decent example of what a low end "bust" output would be for the region (and even then its not that bad).
NAM seems like it would keep precip around for an extended time even after wave two, which may lend itself to a decent snow to ice event before the thermals are completely destroyed by the Thursday storm
Yo @psuhoffman I know it is the long range GFS, but is this a legitimate possibility of the upcoming pattern. Just asking because we have seen something like this the past couple years...
