Gfs is a miss finally gave up. Terrible model. Doesn’t even show snow tomorrow either. Going to bust on a 12hr forecast too. Shut it down. 

I dunno why I even look at it.  Especially for long range when it can’t get under 72 hours right.

GFSAI still way west. Smidge east of 6z, but noise level probably. And GGEM west of its mesos. Really have no idea what to think for Sunday.

I do. Nothing. Euro and ukemt will be no where close to us I am betting.

Just looked further upstairs on the GFS and I think the snow its developing over eastern parts of our region is driven by the upper jet- right entrance region of a pretty impressive jet streak aligns with the location where the snow falls. Euro is weaker with that feature. That might explain the persistence on the GFS despite the low position being pretty far offshore.

It did? Looks about the same as 6z to me. Maybe a slight tick east. Still okay here if I’m setting expectations at 1-2 inches. But yeah- it’s not a reliable model anymore.

Its not a miss for eastern areas. Has 2.5" here verbatim. Now do I believe its correct?

Ukmet is actually a good model scores usually just under the euro. And ya if and most likely the gem is wrong it’s a bad bust for this close.

They need to get smoked.  Winter to date, they are 40% under normal snowfall.

Yes the wonderful UKMET and its mysterious 'great scores' Rarely see it mentioned in a NWS forecast discussion.

I gotta keep promoting my storm just in case...otherwise if it does produce, unlikely as that may be, the peeps will say I gave up on it.

Both AI models (euro and gfs) are wester than everything right now.  A good test to see how those perform.
