Probably the best GFS run I have ever seen for WNC.  That was impressive and it starts precipitation late Friday night.  48 hour event.

Still a ways to go but things aren't backing off yet. However, I would 10000% be prepared.

That run was ... mind blowing.

I wanna believe but this is turning historic, 93ish..Life threatening for elders and shut ins..

The battle between that strong Arctic high and Baja low will be fascinating to watch

An amazing run just 3 to 4 days out! I will say I'm very cautious of those totals but crap cut that in half and thats still one hell of a storm. So we have the Euro and the GFS. The next 48 hours will be telling of what this system could do. Honestly tracking this system had been a delight and fun.

It's sort of gotten lost in the Big Dog, but my point and click has rain/snow chance developing tomorrow evening and continuing into Friday morning. It does look like the high for the week will be tomorrow here at the house in the low to mid 40’s. I've been at or near freezing since last Saturday morning.

Holy cow. For posterity if nothing else. 18z GFS.

[BretWx]

18Z EURO is exactly why I filled three propane tanks and got gas for the generator. 

[Hvward]

18z Euro cuts snow totals to basically zero and has all sleet for all of WNC through Sunday then shows a change to rain.  Wow, we all know its possible though.

That's not a good sign.

What’s your read on the drastic change? High pressure change? Just small tweaks little to big changes downstream?

Im sure the next one we need to phase will miss and hit new Orleans again 

[BretWx]

Don't dive yet, y'all. Or at all. We are 3-4 days out. Have some good sleep and see what tomorrow brings. Hopefully not ICE! 

[cold air aloft]

I still think this turns out to mostly a snow event from I-85 north.
