Jan 11-12 Mississippi Mauler: Will it or won't it?

Figured with this within 72 hours of laying down some Mississippi snow love we may as well have a separate thread for it. 

Virtually all modeling is now hitting parts of Mississippi with a good bit of snow that washes out as it heads NE into Alabama and Tennessee. Several models who are performing well this winter have some N Miss and West Tennessee love to share.  

The latest RGEM was very bullish with the entire western half of the state seeing snow at 84 with a good bit down in N Miss and West Tennessee. 

GFS is so progressive this year it can't be relied upon in the d2-7ish range.  Ironically it actually nailed the Christmas event at D9/10 then lost it to the East until the last minute.  

So ride a Canadian/Euro blend and hope for victory! Good luck to the western valley with this one!

The 18z GFSV16, which has been working better than the GFS moved its snow shield a good bit N in North Mississippi from 12z to 18z. Also much better for NW Alabama than the prior run. The track is similar but it was better organized longer at 18z.  The Euro from 0z last night to 12z today was a major improvement for N Miss too.

Do you feel like this may move back northwest any with its track? Meaning do you think there is more of this coming north west than it’s has already done?

It's very possible. The Canadian, RGEM show it there and the Euro jumped well NW too. The GFS is close and it's been missing way to the East so far this season.

3k agrees, still snowing over west and even some of middle Tennessee at this point. It went for another 12 hours or so on the 12k.

Yeah, the NAM definitely likes this system right now.  Good trends on their overnight models for north Ms and west TN.  Saw where a winter storm watch is out in Shreveport LA, I’m sure it’s beem quite a while since that happened down there.  NWS is creeping east north east with their watches and warnings so they must think what the models are showing has some credence

WRF-ArW looks pretty similar too in terms of storm track.  Precip shield blossoms better as it moves north also.  Take that with a huge grain of salt as it is the WRF though.  

I know we look at the WRF for fun or confirmation to other mods but they have done well this year. They handled the Christmas Eve storm really nice. It was the only mods that had the lollipop over N Knox Co of 5-6” and it nailed it. Also this last storm it was consistent saying the valley wasn’t getting much of anything and we didn’t.

Don’t look now, but the RGEM at 0z is trying to stretch the snow NE even into E TN now. Light event, but at 18z it didn’t have that. Used to be, when you’d see these depictions like this, you’d know that it would move into NE MS northeastward through N AL and into E TN. So, I’ve kept this in the back of my mind so far and wondered about it. Now, it may have been a fluke run, as nothing else really shows that much frozen. However, I think the euro and NAM, to a degree have been toying with that idea. So, for what it’s worth, here’s the 0z RGEM.

JAN has a very detailed afd this AM about the system. Mentions that this is a non traditional setup for snow with the Sfc low in the gulf and the upper and mid level lows displaced to the north. This is “throwing off” as they say, many of the normal winter storm conceptual models. The afd goes on to talk about a lot of the other unusual things related to this system. Worth a read, even if it doesn’t impact your area, as there is a lot of interesting wording there.

Well I think the answer to the thread title turns out to be right! It will. That is a wall of snow entering the state of Mississippi down almost the entire western side of the state.

60 dBZ snow returns in that band. That is incredible for anywhere let alone Mississippi.

Congratulations to all our Southern friends on an epic event!
