  1. Down to 36 now. Not sure how low I'll go before the clouds thicken and the temps stop falling or even rise.
  2. I hope we can thread the needle and get a true near forum wide slider. It's a sad world when we get a weak gulf low with overrunning and a 1045+ HP in Iowa and it's not a slam dunk in February. That said, surely QPF won't be an issue. We've constantly out performed short range modeling on QPF for the last several months. Including the first system this week missing by an average of .25-.30 to low imby with that one.
  3. 37 degrees, humidity rising. Hoping for 2 inches but expecting 1 or less.
  4. This station is a few miles from me and 200 feet higher up.
  5. High thin cirrus clouds here. Temp is 42.4 degrees 50 percent humidity and falling. Dew point temp is 24.8.
  6. The biggest plus for the NAM regarding precip type is two fold, moisture arrives earlier and its heavier. The GFS is much warmer because it only has light precip. Early arriving moisture is usually a hallmark of overrunning events.
  7. The RGEM still wasn't much but it was quite a bit more North and West with precip.
  8. The NAM is definitely determined. The weak gulf low is a classic moisture pump that normally avoids a raging warm nose. A big H in Iowa with a weak surface reflection near the gulf is snow event 101 here. The million dollar question as always, is the NAM correct?
  9. As we work through yet another in the seemingly endless parade of ridiculously warm winters, this was 5 years ago today.
  10. Another full blown Namming of the southern half of the forum basically. NE Miss, Huntsville, Chattanooga and Knoxville into the Smokies clean up with that run. 2-4+ inches.
  11. It underperformed by half on today's rain. Hope it does again. There would have been more in the central Eastern valley areas but there were precip type issues.
  12. This may mean nothing, on the globals at 00z Monday my 24 hour rain ending at 1am tonight was .25 on the Euro, .3 on the GFS and .6 on the Canadian. On the meso models it was .25 in the NAM and .35 in the RGEM. I just checked my rain gauge for the night. .57 fell between around 12am last night and now. The Canadian models we much heavier to the West. The other models were too far south and east with the heavier precip.
  13. If the Euro jumps on board tonight I'm going to hope for an inch. If not I'll expect snow showers with no accumulations and hope I'm wrong. It's amazing how many times I've been too far north the last few years.
  14. MRX rolling with the Euro based on their snow map. Can't really blame them.
  15. It was a Tuesday-Wedneday timeframe. Around Feb 11th and 12th I think.
  16. This is the MRX discussion from when Robert made the call about enhanced snow over East Tennessee in 2014. I don't quite think it is the same set up as here.
  17. I won't trust it or really any model until 24 hours or less out.
  18. Why can't the Euro show the NAM solution?? I do not expect this to happen and hope I'm very wrong.
  19. After the 00z suite, pretty sure I'm out of chances. Not willing to hang my hat on the ICON. But there may be some flakes in the air from Memphis to Tueplo to Huntsville to Chattanooga.
  20. Front end thump comes and goes for our area. It's looking good for southern areas. Crazy how those areas average the same or less snow than our general area but have just crushed our forum area year after snowwise. No idea why it's gotten so much harder to snow specifically in the Tennessee valley but other areas of the South seem to get about their normal amount every year.
  21. Frontogenesis at 700mb in purple. Also waa into the snowgrowth zone aiding moisture transport
  22. The NAM 2 of the last 3 runs has shown very favorable frontogenesis setting up over various parts of Tennessee, when it does the precip is here and in a good amount. The frontgenesis 700mb maps aren't out yet for the 18z run but I suspect we will see it here when they come out.
  23. The NAM at 81-84 seems pretty decent for parts of the forum area as well. Keep in mind it's the NAM at 84.
