1-30/2-1-26 Arctic Blast, ULL Snow Event

[GBOVolz]

I will also credit the WVLT met, as he said expect snow showers in the extreme cold that isn't showing up on models. 
This will be one of those situations where the dgz is probably around 2500 feet and up so snow will fall and it will seem to come from nothing on radar. 

Which high res mods use the radar to help predict precipitation? Just wondering if snow under the radar gets missed by the HRRR and potentially other mods.

They were made available to emergency management offices.

I believe the HRRR and RAP do, possibly the Rufus and FV3 too.

The GFS is slightly down with totals. 

Basically today the low end models have went up, the high end have came down, and they are meeting in the middle. 

Yeah, looks like it edged South a tad as well.

SREF plums at TYS went from 2ish inches from 9z to 4ish inches at 15z

The AI GFS has more precip futher west than the Op GFS, but less precip along the mountain counties than the Op GFS.

Now WVLT says my area will get a dusting. So I take back everything positive I said about him.

What’s the GFS hybrid AI? This is not ratioed…

Is it possible for you to get extra lift from a E/SE wind?

That looks like an AI version of the GFS ensemble.

It's possible, there's a mountain to my SE that rises about 900 feet above me.

Hopefully it'll outperform it's older brother.

Forum is a little slower than I thought. Everyone still locking in I hope?

Crazy things can happen, but Greene Co is in a pretty good spot right now.

The Euro looks good. Headed to a basketball game. No school but the tournament rolls on.

I mean, it’s an east TN special. The threat is far from forum wide. 

[GBOVolz]

Case in point, however they always do this unless they don't.  As we all know we live in days that nothing makes much sense.
