FWIW… the Extended run of the 00z HRRR takes Ian even further into the Atlantic through hr48. .

That’s a heck of a shift East on the 18z EPS… Wow! 12z vs 18z EPS .

The 00z CMC also shows the stall over Florida and then north into the SE US. .

The resemblance on the 00z NAM vs the 00z RGEM is insane. Kuchera maps [emoji3596] .

4:25 am. 30/6 in Randleman, NC. Man this has 12/4/2002 vibes. Ugh. .

4:00 am. 30/8 in Randleman, NC Chapstick dry. Evaporative cooling should begin soon. Hopefully the dynamical cooling can keep the 850 just sub freezing long enough to get an inch or two. .

The 00z Euro holds course. .

NWS Raleigh is calling for 0.20”-0.40” with isolated areas approaching 0.50” in their latest WSW statement for the Triad. I’m prepared to be without power for several days. .

I was 17 when that storm hit. I remember the sky lighting up everywhere bc all the transformers blowing and the sound of falling trees is something I’ll never forget. They had to replace about every single power pole on our 5 mile street. We were without power for 12 days I believe. Now a father of young children myself I’m not looking forward to this storm. We’re pretty much in the bullseye for freezing rain in Northern Randolph County. .

FWIW: 00z FV3 Hi Res as the storm moves in. I haven’t looked at this model all that much. Is it supposed to take the place of the Hi Res NAM eventually? .

Taken verbatim the I-85 corridor would be in for potentially another ice storm depending on what this weekend’s system does. .

Geez… the Triad went from 1-2ft of snow to a crippling ice storm in 24 hours via the GFS. What’s next? Tornado outbreak by the 00z run Thursday? [emoji3061] What can you say, it’s Winter in the SE. .

FWIW The 00z GEFS cut the mean snowfall from the 18z run in half. But it is colder at the surface. It’s definitely not seeing the up the coast solution like the Op. .

Wow, the 00z GFS was a run for the ages. Well Over a foot of snow in the from CLT to the Triad and the Triangle. Add to that very strong winds, with surface temps in the 20’s for a big portion of NC. That’s a legit blizzard from the GFS. Also a nasty ice storm along the Hwy 1 corridor. Just incredible. If the Euro spits out something even half that we’ll see everyone jump on board tomorrow. .

Sizable shift south on the HRRR, NAM’s. Combination of confluence over the Midwest and less amped? Interesting. .
