Man it's hard to look at those big totals taper off as you head NE. It seems either were battling precip issues or suppression.

Movies nowadays just aren’t the same. Mid 90’s were prime.

Pretty remarkable the differences between  gfs and rgem. Rgem been consistently showing 10+ for most of the metro area.

Also RGEM spitting out 0.4 to 0.6” with 25-30:1 ratios would be pretty damn nice.

Yea dry air and virga worries me. Gonna be a sharp cutoff as always. I thought about flying back from Florida but for some reason this thing isn't getting me excited. Plus it's gonna be 80 down here the next 3 days.

Dry air. Big arctic high with that cold dry air will eat at precip shield on n/nw side. How nw it gets is million dollar question. 0z gfs downright depressing. Seems like each run stunts better totals south. I hope it's wrong.

Gem is northwest with the low but has the same northern cutoff being brutal

Yep. I posted about that earlier today. When we get these NE flows on the backside dry air in the DGZ  can be a mf#$%er unless your just down wind of an open lake. Models are taking their time juicing up at 700mb. BUT we also get some of our biggest snows once the moisture wraps around. Granted you're a little farther NW but I still think once the juice gets wrapped we could get a quasi double hit TROWAL type setup on the N/NW side. Thats where the extremely cold  air is going to get smacked by a cross country warm source moisture filled slap. Trying to stay positive and thinking the GFS is off on this one. At least could be riding the line of single to double digits instead of dust to 2in

UKMET brings snow north compared to 12z
