  1. High thin cirrus clouds here. Temp is 42.4 degrees 50 percent humidity and falling. Dew point temp is 24.8.
  2. 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.
  3. The RGEM still wasn't much but it was quite a bit more North and West with precip.
  4. 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?
  5. As we work through yet another in the seemingly endless parade of ridiculously warm winters, this was 5 years ago today.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. MRX rolling with the Euro based on their snow map. Can't really blame them.
  11. It was a Tuesday-Wedneday timeframe. Around Feb 11th and 12th I think.
  12. 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.
  13. I won't trust it or really any model until 24 hours or less out.
  14. Why can't the Euro show the NAM solution?? I do not expect this to happen and hope I'm very wrong.
  15. 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.
  16. 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.
  17. Frontogenesis at 700mb in purple. Also waa into the snowgrowth zone aiding moisture transport
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. Big jump north on the Euro for the system Thursday. Precip field moved from South of Atlanta at 12z to SW Virgina at 00z. A light stripe of snow falls across a lot of the state early Thursday that run. Will see if this is a trend toward even more moisture for us or not. The HP in Iowa and moisture in Texas is a classic for us normally.
  21. I think the HP is being over modeled. The models and especially the GFS roll these big 1045-1050 highs down all the time and they verify at 1035 when they actually arrive.
  22. My snow season lately lasts into April. I've had far more snow in March/April than January the last several years. I used to rarely get through March without a 3+ inch event. Its usually gone 36 hours later though.
  23. .91 in the bucket since around 3am this morning. MRX has most of the area in the 4-6 inch range by Thursday. Not sure that flash flooding will be an issue but a lot of slow rising water issues will happen at that point. I'm now at 8.17 inches of rain already for the month and had 7.35 last month. So already 8 inches or so above normal for 2020.
