They were made available to emergency management offices.

The GFS is slightly down with totals. Basically today the low end models have went up, the high end have came down, and they are meeting in the middle.

I will also credit the WVLT met, as he said expect snow showers in the extreme cold that isn't showing up on models. This will be one of those situations where the dgz is probably around 2500 feet and up so snow will fall and it will seem to come from nothing on radar.

Whatever model wvlt used showed 4 inches for my area, 5 for Knoxville, and 6-8 east of there.

Yes.

It's just getting more into a better range for it. Also, keep in mind, most models tend to actually underestimate QPF.

Johnson City is 93 percent for over 4 and about 80 percent for oved 6.

Newest NWS graphics dramatically increased snow accumulation percentages for my area. I was 22 percent for more than 2 inches last package. I'm now near 70 percent. I had a 10 percent chance of 4 inches or more, now that's 50 percent.

The RGEM backed down by about .2 on snowfall across the area. 4.4 in Knox at 12z was 4.2 at 18z.

The ICON was a tick better. 2.8 inches at 12z is 3 inches at 18z in Knoxville for instance.

It happened a few years ago with a miller A system that went just enough south that my area got around 2-3 inches but just east and south of here was 4-6+ inches.

You can check here and see what was used for what forecast for the NBM at a particular hour. The models above were from me selecting 6hr snowfall at hour 42. https://blend.mdl.nws.noaa.gov/nbm-dashboard

Point and click are basically the NBM fed into a forecast graphic computer system. These are the model runs that went into the 18z NBM for snowfall at hour 42. So it's made from mostly ensemble members, short range models, and hasn't incorporated any data from the 12z/06z Euro at all that I can see.

The NAM and 3k struggles at times by overemphasizing terrain features. That leads to wild looking precip output maps. They are especially prone to it outside 24 hours.

Really poorly.

Weather Next/Google AI at 12z was nearly a carbon copy of 06z.

Ironically, it actually aligns with the Euro/EuroAi/WeatherNext 06z/GFS/Canadian/RGEM at this point.

That is likely the 1/10 chance map.

My forecast also says 1 inch or less. Not surprisingly, that last NBM map shows 1 inch or less in my area.

Not surprised by a WWA for my area. Not sure if the models will be correct, and there are a few now that are misses. I think they likely based everything off the NBM which is ultra dry over my area for some reason. I assume it's got heavy influence by hi-res models, even though they are very out of their range currently.

I would think 1.5x those amounts at minimum with the entire column so cold.

Courtesy of Bouncycorn. This is a 10:1 so multiply by 1.5 to 2.

I was just looking at that. It seems to have broken the 18/6, 12/0 cycle.

12z AI Euro beefed up QPF vs 00Z. It be breaking the cycle.

How similar are the WSW criteria for those areas? I know mine is different than Knox which is different than the southern border counties. I think 2 inches anywhere in their CWA is WSW criteria.
