If he leaned towards the GFS, it would be on us. He left himself room to make changes. At least the GFS is mostly snow (a little sleet). Hopefully, that scenario will play out.

We got rain for 3 straight days and when we have a chance for something wintry we can't get more than a few hours. Anyone happen to know the mechanics of this last system, why it was so long and strung out and why we don't see those for winter events? What would need to happen to see a 48 hour snow event?

Good questions for a non-busy time. We have lots of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 NAM is aibt better than 18z. the arctic jet is having more influence, but it's the sloppiest partial phase i have ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeznado Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 NAM a tad faster through 36. Pretty close to the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Low about 30-50 miles N of Jacksonville past hour 48. Freezing line along I-85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beanskip Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Surface features look better but hard to see what at 500mb is causing it -- s/w not very impressive; neither is the troughing particularly sharp or favorably titled. It's almost like surface features are catching up to improvements at 5h in previous runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeznado Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 NAM took a baby step to the GFS but has the vort too weak IMO. Looks way too dry everywhere Friday night compared to basically all other guidance- or a lot of people will be disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is still the nam but earlier it was basically a dusting to an inch. Now its close to 3". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackGrad05 Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 One thing I've struggled understanding is the lack of high to the north during this system. Our big snows (in NC) usually don't come from a high out near the rockies... That leads me to believe central NC sees more rain/mix before transitioning to snow. I just think the cold air is going to be delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 NAM is so bad with QPF -- this run shows a stronger surface LP tucked closer to NC coast (compared to 18z run) but ... LESS precip thrown back over NC/SC west of I-95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
