That’s not correct. Rgem is and hrrr at hour 48 12z was heading towards a snow solution. 

I stand corrected....WB 12Z RDPS

Nam isn't, but Rgem is, though not as good as Gfs.

Still, like I posted earlier, I  would like to see the Nam and icon come for the ride.

Well storm starts developing in about 24hrs so pretty much should know an outcome by tonight. If models can’t get a storm right 36hrs out well then I ain’t going to waste my time on them the rest of the winter lol

Latest from NWS

Doesn't make sense - they have 2" for Bel Air, then 43% of getting 1"+

1" is much more realistic around here - the 12z GFS looks like ~1", less SE

i cannot identify a difference between the 0z and 12z CMC

This is a marginal event; if it fails everyone will blame the phenomenon that shall not be named....

Not everyone will.

@wxmvpete and I are working the WPC Winter desks this morning, so you'll see what we drum up here by the afternoon. Interesting forecast for sure, but fun to be able to have the hands in the first potential event of the season for parts of the sub

I’ll probably chalk this one up to it being early December, personally

Still quite a difference in precip. amounts. GFS advertising an inch of liquid north of 70 and Euro about .60. There are some things to really like with this system if you north and west of the beltways with some elevation. Maybe a good old fashioned 5-7 that ends in drizzle. Euro 850's and thicknesses and even surface temps look really good. GFS only a bit warmer. I would think any moderate to heavy precip is all snow.

True, but if this storm was a couple degrees colder it’s quite possible we’d be looking at least a slop storm to an actual snowstorm.

I mean for the metro areas ya but euro been showing snow up here for like the last 3 days so if all a sudden inside 48hrs it goes away it’s kinda hard to believe

Fair....and I actually should probably have said "some"...

[bncho]

I wouldn't be too worried about missing this one, fellow comrades in the metros. We're already tracking two more events in the medium-range.

Ya cause trading one storm in for one a week away usually works out well lol

WB 12Z GFS basically the same, a tick warmer, but if you are looking for a 1-3 inch event you are still in the game.

The main difference for Northern areas is less precip

[Chris78]

06z and 12z

[rjvanals]

Looks like a quick C-2” across the metros w a quicker than expected transition to sleet then cold rain while we get snow pics from our NW friends

I wouldn't do that if I were you...those two events don't even exist right now. The one we have for Tuesday is the only one we can count as real!
