    The New England forum has said before beyond 36 the GRAF is not too reliable but it does well at times inside of that.

    The RGEM is usually okay at 48-54 and not awful from 54-84. The 12km NAM can be really bad past 42-48 though the degree of badness can vary storm to storm. 3km NAM I trust only inside 30-36. Today for example the 3Km NAM at 48-60 over AL/GA/TN more resembles the RGEM/GFS than it down its own 12km counterpart which was very far north

    Yeah that must be a model algorithm issue or something the sounding at that time is 32.2/23 at JFK with a NW wind
  4. SnowGoose69
    Most of TN and NRN GA closer to the TN border is the area I'd be most confident in now for snow amounts. Beginning to think even down close to ATL could see 2-3 inches though before it flips, especially if some type of mesoscale banding happens.

    Euro now having the most snow here still is funny. Must be keying in more on that disturbance or jet than the other models are
  6. SnowGoose69
    The RGEM is not nearly as far north as the NAM is
  7. SnowGoose69
    The NAM is probably too warm and amped. Prior to 36 hours there’s a tendency for that
  8. SnowGoose69
    The HRRR just is so bad with mid-level WAA type stuff I find it hard to believe they can totally dump the 3km NAM. I've seen cases of the HRRR at 24 showing snow when the 3km NAM has sleet 50 miles north of that

    Once you get inside 72 hours of a setup that is not exactly simple the ICON can start doing funny things. Part of that is the other models just are way better than the ICON at that range. Its in the Day 4-7 period the ICON can often school the NAM at the end of its run or the GFS/CMC at times. Inside of that it will do odd stuff those models are just better at not falling into

    Already some GEFS members are bailing on the -PNA, it was a unanimous move to -1 or so a few days back now its a split with some wanting to stay positive. I still think the pattern goes lousy at some stage but it might be mid or late February by the time it does
  11. SnowGoose69
    The RGEM/Euro now show ATL north might see a decent amount of snow/sleet before they flip to FZRA. The problem is they are so close to being dry slotted because the WAA precip shield more or less only runs about 30-40 miles south of ATL on northeast. So a shift of 30 miles and there may be next to no precip falling at all.
  12. SnowGoose69
    I think the 12Z Euro/EPS really faked everyone out as it joined the RGEM/UKMET that cycle and was north. 18Z went right back south, that 00Z UKMET snow map looks very close to the 18Z Euro. Still this is far enough out more surprises might happen
  13. SnowGoose69
    I think you need to wait til Thu AM to know. The 18Z Euro looked better for ATL, cannot put much stock in the GFS, NAM is out of range. I think once the NAM/RGEM are inside 48 we'd have a better idea. The flatter this is the more likely that area sees mainly snow but at same time they'd have hard time getting over 3-4 inches at best.
  14. SnowGoose69
    I find it funny the CMC/RGEM/UKMET all said I'm out tonight and did not run UKMET finally is running
  15. SnowGoose69
    Correct. This forum will be exploding at like 5am Friday over GA/SC that its going to start snowing any minute because the radar will be blossoming everywhere but it likely won't reach the ground for 2-3 hours after. The models only show precip when its expect to reach the ground
  16. SnowGoose69
    The funny thing is the 18Z Euro had more snow here than the 00Z GFS did
  17. SnowGoose69
    Usually that layer though from like 680-850 which shows as -1C with strong SW flow verifies way milder in the end. Often 1-2C milder
  18. SnowGoose69
    EURO AI went more OTS on this run
  19. SnowGoose69
    That may be possible. The wedge is lousy but the air mass in place and nearby is good. I still think ATL's snow event comes next week. Setup and position of high to me is way better.
  20. SnowGoose69
    I got a bunch of texts about the NAVGEM. It still does usually end up more progressive than other models. I think that was just an off run but its interesting, if it continues to be that amped up I've seen cases where that ends up being an indicator other models move north or west
  21. SnowGoose69
    I'd go mostly pellets ending as light FZRA in ATL with some snow at the start. I don't think due to the pattern over the Atlantic this is going to climb much more north. The one thing I would watch for is less shearing out of the system as it comes east. I do think the QPF values on the Euro for example are likely too low
  22. SnowGoose69
    30-40 miles probably. Assuming we see no north shift I'd say places 15-20 miles north of the north side of 285 would be mostly snow
  23. SnowGoose69
    Euro for ATL about what I've been expecting. SN briefly, then SNPL, then PL, then FZRA. The wedge may indeed break and they get to 34 but by then I think the event has ended anyway
  24. SnowGoose69
    It verifies usually just behind the Euro but thats 500 heights. It can show funny things for precip type/QPF so usually you want to use it just for track
  25. SnowGoose69
    I don't think the Euro will be as flat as the UKMET. The UKMET was a bit too flat with this last system too. Its also missing the snow across the MA region which I think happens with the vort/jet
