Not sure I've seen storm motion at 90 mph around here!

I will take this any day over the crippling ice storm the GFS is showing for us in NE NC.

Yep. NWS Wakefield is as conservative as you can get, and they are mentioning it.

Went to my local Mexican restaurant for happy hour, and it looks like the GFS showed up also. 18 inches IMBY! Even a drunk me doesn't buy that.

Really could use that rain in Eastern NC. Took a trip to Danville, Va to see the casino last weekend, and I was shocked at the river and lake levels in South Central VA. Really bad. Not sure if there was enough water to get around on a boat.

Same here (Hertford County). Forecast went from nothing (most of yesterday), to a dusting (last night), to <1 inch (overnight), to 1-3 inches (late morning, with a WWA issuance), to this. Yay Brick!!!!!

Here in NE NC, the ground was white before midnight on the 25th. I drove a Chevy Aveo at the time, and had it parked near the side of my house. The next day, the drifts were so high up against my house that you could hardly tell that a car was parked there.

Northern Hertford County About 1.5 inches of snow before the changeover to all out sleetfest. Maybe we should start wishing for sleet and see what happens.

As of 4:41 pm, death toll is at 30 in Buncombe County. Still 1,000 unaccounted for. I would expect the number of unaccounted to come down some once communications are reestablished and roads reopen. Still, absolutely gut-wrenching.

Pouring down again here in NE NC. I don't remember seeing many lows coming through on a northwest trajectory in March.

Honestly, the biggest concern I have with this system is getting 'dry slotted' on the east side. The afternoon models are starting to hint at this. We need the rain here in NE NC.

Our local met displayed a sobering statistic last night. The annual average January snowfall in Norfolk since 1991 is 2.6 inches. That's just pathetic. We had huge storms in the 70s and 80s. My parents always bragged about the big storms they got in the sixties. Not anymore, and it's a long term thing.

Textbook hook echo near Knightdale. Watching CBS17 live coverage at the bar. Edit:. Approaching Wendell, looking even more impressive.

Checked the forecast for updates for NE NC for this event and ended up with a flood watch. Yuck. Good luck to everyone west and north of here.

0z GFS back to showing some love for NE NC.

Brand new tornado watch (#519) for much of eastern NC until 3AM. This one includes areas of NE NC that were not in watch #518. It ain't over yet.

That's gotta be painful to see for the folks in the downslope screw zone.

Agreed. Garbage map. They short places like Williamston and Bertie County that are in the model favored areas, and imply Elizabeth City gets almost nothing. Stupid forecast.

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Warning for... Eastern Nash County in central North Carolina... Edgecombe County in central North Carolina... Halifax County in central North Carolina... Wilson County in central North Carolina... * Until 345 PM EST. * At 247 PM EST, severe thunderstorms were located along a line extending from 6 miles west of Roanoke Rapids to 6 miles west of Halifax to 9 miles northeast of Dortches to 7 miles southwest of Nashville, moving northeast at 100 mph.

Forecasted for near 90 today and tomorrow here in NE NC. Low 90s by Thursday. Haven't seen a cloud in the sky for days. WPC 7 day has zero rain, and has been that way for at least the past week. Ugh
