NBM has upped me to 1.5 inches! After looking they used the 12z Euro ens for the 00z NBM. 

The idea of the NBM is brilliant; letting smart humans weight the logical computer guidance based on the current situation.  But the execution is total s*it.  Must be the funding cuts.

The use of so many bad models but not the Euro Op is crazy. Especially since they use the GFS op. I'm not sure that there is actual human involvement in it though. I think it simply blends the models noted on the dashboard and spits out outdated material.

My forecast remains less than an inch. All modeling has me at 3-5 inches except the UKIE, the NBM and some junk cams that stink beyond 12 hours. 

Not sure if they are in the middle of updating them or what, but Tellico and Sweetwater are 1-2, Madisonville is 2-5.

I can’t count how many people at my workplace have said it’s not going to snow. Only a fraction of the population will buy into this thing.

As a GIS nerd I'm gonna give away for free a multi-million dollar idea, super simple.  Track verification scores of all weather models.  For any given setup, query a set of historical analogs.  Assess which weather models verified best in those analog lead-ups.  Weight current models accordingly for current situation NBM.  There, not perfect but grounded in science and a helluva better blend than what we are seeing today!

I'd like 5% of the revenue from the startup that cashes in on that idea please.  :guitar:

Worth a shot...once they figure out how to incorporate AI completely, they will privatize the NWS imo. Just the revenue alone all these half-wit social media pages are generating all is enough to get Big Brother Corporations watching.

Assuming the input data keeps flowing, at the pace we are seeing, AI and machine learning will absolutely crack the weather code to the point that humans won't need to interpret much and the forecasts will be as optimal as possible, and soon-ish.  As far as who cashes in on it, I don't know.  The data is certainly extremely valuable.  Anyway, back to snow in Tennessee!  Sorry for the diversion.

Nice, what is your preferred blend of models or human logic that drove you to this prediction if you don't mind me asking?

My takeaway is NAM is leaning 2-4, 3k NAM is about 3, HRRR is 4-7, for Knox as a baseline for central valley, adjusting the gradient west to east.

Edit:  So basically inline with what MRX is forecasting.  Almost at radar and HRRR watching phase.

Edit 2: RAP coming in with a colder temp drop faster, if that matters.
