Dandridge Dollop 12/24/20 Storm Thread (Winter Wonderland)
John1122 replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
The NAM is almost the same on it's features for the past 8 runs, but the difference is it doesn't bring the cold air in nearly as fast the last couple of runs. Yesterday's 06z run the changeover line was about 100 miles East of where it is on todays at 1pm Thursday. So where I was getting heavy snow by then with a LP just across the mountain from Greene County, I'm now getting heavy rain with a low in the same spot. That greatly affects snow totals, basically cutting them in half. 1pm Friday on the 06z from 24 hours ago vs 1pm Friday on the 06z that just ran.- 847 replies

Dandridge Dollop 12/24/20 Storm Thread (Winter Wonderland)
John1122 replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
Basic synopsis: Euro/UKIE furthest east. But the Euro is better for all of the Eastern valley as a whole than the GFS. GFS/NAM/HRRR not as much moisture return. Better for eastern middle Tennessee HRRR and Gfs/NAM far NE areas but not as good as the Euro for Knoxville and south down the 75 corridor. GGem/RGem would be our new best friend if they verify. Big winter storm for the eastern 2/3rds of the forum area.- 847 replies

Euro was better for say Knoxville than the GFS. Slower with the cold by a bit and doesn't have the back side energy like the other models. Could be because it's further East with the frontal lp.- 847 replies

Euro popped the low a bit earlier. Gonna be big for NE areas most likely. It's on the east side of guidance right now though which is not a common place for it to be.- 847 replies

Slightly worse than 18z on the GFS. Day before yesterday all the American models had a bad trend and it bounced back, possibly will again or maybe it will get worse. I'd guess we will see changes all the way up until 12z or 18z tomorrow. Maybe even later.- 847 replies

RGEM is even further West it looks like. It runs the low entirely up this side of the Apps. Better for Mid state for sure.- 847 replies

HRRR really blasts the southern Plateau and eastern middle. But seems to hang the cold up on the Plateau. Granted it's all happening outside the normal wheelhouse for the HRRR.- 847 replies

The 3k 00z actually evolved very similarly to the 18z regular NAM. Low from Central Alabama to SWVA to WVA. No strange Ohio low.- 847 replies

The panel that throws things off on the NAM vs 18z is the panel that pops a low briefly in Ohio. That same panel at 18z had the low in SWVA and it was snowing hard over the Eastern half of the state. The panels prior and just after are virtually no different than 18z.- 847 replies

Honestly the NAM looks basically the same as it did at 18z. Just less aggressive on the backside with precip this run.- 847 replies

The RGEM has scored several wins before, usually related to northern stream events. These anafrontal low spin ups are rare these days but used to be a common way to get 3 to 5 inches imby.- 847 replies

After looking I think the MRX grids were likely generated off the 48hr 18z HRRR. That is definitely the inhouse model I just saw WVLT run. It was literally the exact depiction from the HRRR for Thursday. Which suggests very little in the way of snow but the HRRR at 48 is like looking at the GFS at 300.- 847 replies

GFS backed down a bit from 12z. Runs will vary from here on out, especially as they are about to leave the global wheelhouse and be more in line with the meso model time frame.- 847 replies

The point forecast at 2500 feet here says less than 1/2 inch of snow possible. For downtown Knoxville it says less than 1 inch possible. No idea how they are seeing the grids unless it's a UKIE/Euro blend.- 847 replies

I'd guess tomorrow morning if the models don't lose it, they will issue winter products for the mountains and SWVA. SPS for other areas. I got 4 inches in 4 hours last December and never even got a WWA. Knox got at least 2 and didn't either. They are always very reluctant with WWP outside the mountains and it often works out for them but sometimes doesn't.- 847 replies

I don't remember if we've had one in the last several years. The models have had multiple upgrades since then so I'm not sure how they may handle it now.- 847 replies
