Here's the 12z HRRR sounding over central NC at 20z. Storms begin to initiate shortly after this sounding at 21z. Damaging winds, and hail seem to be the main threats. Wouldn't rule out a spin up on the more discrete cells that form ahead of the main line of convection.
Exactly... we've seen this all Winter long from one model or another. In this case most of the globals show the storm system, which is encouraging, but I'm holding on to my big grain of salt for now. Lol
Well at least it's not just the FV3 on board this time, there's actually some support from the globals. Something watch, but yea wouldn't surprise me at all to see it go poof!
GFS-FV3 now with 4-5 consecutive runs of a significant winter storm for the CAD favored areas of NC/SC/N GA. 150 hrs out... So hard to trust this model though.
Here in the NW Piedmont of NC it hardly ever works out because of downslope. There has to be a secondary trigger like a wave of LP or an upper air disturbance to wring out any left over moisture. I'm not sold yet.
While we got a long ways to go, maybe just maybe this will turn into something. The CMC and Euro showing at least some potential in the Day 9 time frame. Would love to see the EPS have this closer to the coast. 12z Euro below:
18z NAM taken verbatim, in GSO freezing rain Wednesday Morning with temps near 30, by Midnight temps could warm to near 60 degrees.... Ok, Gotta love it.
Pivotal now has skew-T plots for the CMC. Classic Ice Storm over Central NC at hour 138. Just one of many outcomes still on the table.
