  1. While the crazy uncles Op has wavered...I will say it's Ensemble has been steady the last few days. 0z CMC Ensemble mean
  2. Big jump on the 6z GEFS mean statewide..subzero mean temps starting to show up as well.
  3. While I agree, and to a certain extent hope it does. That run is actually plausible. You have to go way, way back in the history books, but a system leading into and exiting this type pattern is there. Would be a 1 in 100 year type scenario.
  4. As crazy as it sounds...that GFS run had the potential to be way bigger than the above snow map...if the second system had got going a touch sooner and turned the corner it would have been lights out...literally.
  5. While I love snow...this would bring TN to its knees...2 storm total
  6. GFS had so much fun it's said let's do it again right after that storm
  7. Quick search for streaks below freezing (have to go back to 1890's): Nashville : 9 days Knoxville: 10 days So while tracking snow is fun, we could possibly looking at at least a top 5 historic cold streak.
  8. Now we have a legit threat...just need a little more diving action lol
  9. I was trying to think of a similar setup earlier today, and honestly I can't. Doesn't mean it didn't happen, so maybe @John1122, @Holston_River_Rambler, @Carvers Gap, or any of the other great historical posters we have here can. Kinda giving my age away a little, but first system I tracked (if you wanna call it that back then) using a hand drawn map while scribbling in the old noaa reporting stations info on a radio every hour, was the storm I won't name in 93.
  10. The tailend of a front drapping across the gulf with a wave or energy left behind is historically the #1 way to get a southern snowstorm. Typically happens at the beginning of an arctic outbreak or when the pattern begins to relax (more of an ice threat then), every so often both. Miller As are typically not major deals for middle/west TN. What is not typical is there is usually alot more separation between a dying frontal wave and the cyclogenisis of a follow up wave (so model error may be unusually high with this setup). West/middle TN needs to score with wave #1 fluff bomb (due to very high ratio)...ETN has to rely on wave #2...this is almost like tracking two completely different setups at the same time.
  11. Slight uptick in the GEFS...steady as she goes. Also, can see a little semblance of possible moisture being banked up against the Plateau/Mountains (that wouldn't be well picked up on until 24hr or less out, could enhance snowfall in those areas).
  12. Not a true southern snow storm unless we get a half the board, cliff diving moment (only to get reeled back in)...like all the greats in the past had lol
  13. Yeah this system should bring back many happy memories and old scars of model days from long ago...finally we have a good Ole fashioned thread the needle for glory or bust system lol...Funny how so much tech has changed in past 10-15 yrs, but here in the weather modeling world things have stayed the same.
  14. Big question is..."Is the Euro up to its old bias of holding too much back with 2nd = squash city?" *insert preferred cliff hangar music"...Stay tuned to tomorrow's adventure of "As the models flippity-flop to find out more.
  15. Now need to get this inside the 72-84hr window...models are known to have an almost mini truncation point during that time. If any big move is going to happen that's the window I look at.
  16. Yeah this thing is almost acting like quasi phased system...with wave #1 feeding wave #2 from the Atlantic
  17. If it digs and slows/separates wave #2 (Red Circle surface reflection) a hair more...Blue arrow is wave #1 departing.
  18. Middle and especially West TN looking more like they are gonna score a double whammy...1st from the initial wave before it generates a low too far east to help ETN, and the second that generates the Miller A type wave.
  19. 0z CMC Ensemble mean looks very similar (10:1). Very complicated setup for models, but for now they seem to be focusing picking up the second piece of energy a little better.
  20. Suppressed mess has been my biggest fear with this system last couple days for us here in the east...hopefully just a hiccup
  21. Avoid the 0z GEFS like the plague...hopefully a blip and not a trend..lots of members say "what storm?"
  22. You can see errors in both the GFS and CMC on the 925 at 132hr GFS inexplicably doesn't fill in the Tri hole, even tho the moisture transport/banking is there. While CMC setup would create a hole toward Tri (due South to North wind would create downslope there off the Smokies). Chatt accum doesn't add up due to 0 downslope on it.
  23. Almost carbon copy anafrontal setup for the valley. While I don't believe Chatt Dome would be that strong as the accum map shows, it would be less (downslope cuts it). The Tri hole I have 0 belief in. You can see the downslope (Red Circle), as well as the low level moisture getting banked up (Red Lines) on the 925 RH maps
