00z Eta vs. 00z GFS

#1 Postby SacrydDreamz » Sun Jan 25, 2004 10:45 pm

Which is correct?? Eta is further inland with the precip tomorrow. Which solution do the other models support?

Eta

Precip has ended here in Blacksburg. 7" of snow and sleet (98% snow).. Precip started around 9am with temp at 18°F and it fell to 10°F around 7pm. Sleet at 10°F was interesting.. We need some -zr/fzdr tonight/tomorrow morning to cancel classes… since that seems unlikely I am hoping for something tomorrow night to cancel Tuesday classes. Which solution is correct?!

Yeah, eta puts out over an inch qpf here in Greensboro, while the gfs puts out about .25. HUGE difference in how we would be effected. Also, any bets on whether this falls primarily as sleet or freezing rain?
