Thinking those snowfall maps are generous on the south side of that band, but the CMC always been close to mixing along I-66 the past several runs. It hasn't really changed except moving the storm along faster.
One positive out of a faster storm is we'll get snow starting at night or early morning hours. Easier stickage.
CMC gets dangerously close to mixing here, but is the warmest of the 3 models so far this cycle.
Just spitballing based on gut feel, no real scientific reasoning. I think the best waa banding will occur just to the north of me. Hopefully I can stay within that band too
So, here’s where we are at. 3 models tonight - icon, gfs, cmc - stopped the suppression trend and brought the storms back north. Bit weaker confluence, better wave spacing by slowing the storm down 6ish hours.
I’ll take it. The south shift stopped and its back north per gfs. Probably some more wiggling to do, but starting to settle on the general track. Which is the kind of track we want.
