  1. This area will progress quickly. The reason Eastern areas see snow initially is a low will develop on the front and basically stop it until the low passes. The rest is from convective snow bands from a trailing upper level disturbance.
  2. 3k NAM is going to be more aggressive with the initial snow and has the convection captured in the Mid-state popping.
  3. 06z NAM moved everything about 25 miles further West. Knoxville for instance want from 2 to 3 inches. My area went from around 1 inch to around 2.5. Holston in MoCo went from blanked to around 1.5 inches. That's without anything convective yet. The NAM 12k just doesn't see it like the other models but appears to have a bit breaking out in Eastern Middle early Christmas morning.
  4. On the HRRR at 11am/10c tomorrow its 46 degrees in central Scott County. 20 miles away in Central Fentress it's 32 degrees. That's a potent drop over a short distance.
  5. Euro looks like it may have backed off from 18z but I don't have ratio'd maps. It was an improvement from 12z for me at least.
  6. With the Euro and UKIE pending. 0z GFS/18z Euro/0z HRRR similar with frozen precip shield further West. 0zRGEM/0zGGEM/3zRAP similar with larger frozen precip field. 0z NAM nest (NAM/HRF) similar eastern solution.
  7. You're likely correct. In this case I'm mainly referring to the precip shield. Modeling notoriously under estimates the N and W side of precip fields.
  8. Everything is moving towards the Canadian/RGem at this point. The NW trend is a thing in every type of system apparently.
  9. Rain started here about 45 minute ago. Temp is actually up a degree to 48.
  10. RGEM has been rock steady since hr 84 when it first "saw" the system. A few years ago it kept dropping 5 to 6 inches imby when other modeling had an inch or so. They finally caved to it 6 hours before the event started and even then never got above 3 inches. I ended up with 6-7 inches.
  11. The warning there is often in place for elevation purposes so I can't see them changing. They actually think the far southeast areas will get 6 to 8 on mountain tops.
  12. MRX has me at an 80 percent chance at more than an inch of snow, puts out a forecast map showing me with 1/2 inch. It does crack me up that the night shift always ups totals and day shift always lowers them.
  13. Currently 47 degrees and cloudy after a high of 49, several degrees cooler than forecast but possible temps rise as the front approaches.
  14. The RGEM is capturing the likely secondary snow better than the GFS/NAM/Euro. The HRRR is capturing it too. The RGEM has been consistent for two days that snow will linger. These major league Arctic airmasses are able to squeeze everything out, the snow growth zone -15c temps get low in the atmosphere and create the snow that falls that doesn't even show up on the radar because it's falling from so low in the atmosphere.
  15. After looking at the next day's post on high on LeConte, they ended up with 11 inches. So slightly less than 50 percent of what the 3k was showing. It really keys on higher terrain and just dumps snow on those spots for some reason.
