RGEM looked pretty darn good so not surprised since they are essentially the same. GFS, ICON, RGEM all good for DC, at least. Ways to go but pretty good 00z despite how quiet it is in here
Think NWS is running behind for ya’ll there again - I’d feel pretty good about 1-2” as a forecast right now. Snow on snow on snow in the first two weeks of December?
If the GFS is right and it’s a 30mi strip or so that’s gonna get the snow, we won’t know for a few days. Wouldn’t get hung up on where it is. Just nice to have something in the area.
You can see the same thing happening on the HRRR even though it works out on that model. Question is whether there is enough moisture to overcome the dry air/mountain shred. Further west has a better shot.
we could in general use more north too... still a little too far south, really
Looking meh for all parties involved, but at least there is some historical precedent to a clipper juicing up leading up to gametime. If I was to guess, though, areas slightly to most of our south have the best shot at this one again.
I'm most "worried" about another miss south for Friday right now - pretty much all the models stick with the seasonal trend. Not gonna cry over missing 1", at least.
As mentioned earlier, EPS is more onboard with Friday than Sunday. Pretty decent consensus for a light event Friday... less for Sunday. Not a lot of upside for either at least via the ens.
We’re in NAM range for a December event again? This has been awesome from a tracking perspective even if nobody north of Fredericksburg has too much to show for it, lol
My sister says it’s still snowing in Harrisonburg, which is shocking to me. Even more shocking is a storm without threat of mixing where Harrisonburg snows for 12+ hours but nary a flake in DC
