           You're correct that it's a mesoscale version of the GFS (it's not as simple as just saying it's the GFS run at 3 km).      The FV3 is now one of the Hi-Res Windows, along with the ARW and ARW2.   (The FV3 replaced the NMMB in the last HiResWindow upgrade.)   All 3 of those models, along with the NAM Nest and HRRR, make up the HREF.

             The hi-res version of the FV3 is an initial step towards replacing all of the hi-res models (the Hi-Res Windows, HRRR, NAM Nest, and the HREF products) with an hourly, high-res FV3 ensemble in a few years.

So we will have hourly model runs soon. That’s gonna be great for the manic tendencies here.

Looks like a 0.5-1" event to me.

Probably reasonable. Surface temps will be important though (when are they not??), so it probably a T at DCA and 1” for the Parrs Ridge crowd which stay at 30-32F for the duration.

I like the blend between GFS and Euro. Not as amped and wet as the GFS, but not scattered flurries like the Euro.

I think most here will see a dusting, or a little more than that, location dependent. 

Either way, snow in the first week of December with record warmth on the way, everyone should be thrilled.

Pretty sure the Euro isn't the one nailing this but it probably had the correct idea on it being a very low key event and the others are saying ok no alcohol at the party but we are definitely having cheetos and chocolate

blah cheetos

12z EURO denies the existence of a storm entirely. Almost too much of an outlier for me to be inclined to believe it, but I'm sure it'll be right this time.

edit: it looked like it did on the 1hr maps - on the 6hr maps it seems to suggest some mood flakes. woo.

It is actually an improvement. Might be a dusting instead of virga.
