We’ve been significantly above forecast lows last couple mornings. Bottomed out at 25.5 yesterday (forecast was 20) and are stuck at 25.2 right now (forecast was 18). Made it to 39.2 yesterday
Not a bad run but a few concerning things. Shaved .1-.2” QPF for a lot of areas and though the snow maps don’t show it well you can see evidence of the dry slot as coastal takes over
It’s been showing up to varying degrees on different runs across most modeling. If you’re between Greensboro and Greenville that is this storms *potential* fail mode
Yep that is my concern. It is why I posted. It’s damned close to triangle areas and would be an absolute kick in the nads to get 1” with 8”+ on either side
Gotta say, that coastal plain dry slot is concerning. One of these analog storms, cannot remember which, did that bad over central NC. Starting to see it on most modeling. Could really screw someone in this setup as the coastal takes over
CAMs typically will sniff them out. If globals are painting a broad 10”+ area you’d have to believe some of that would in actuality be in a singular band with higher totals. Usually how these work
My thoughts- I think a large area of 4-8” is LIKELY. There will be swath of 8-12” and likely up to 16” max amounts wherever the deform band sets up shop. I think most of NC is looking at north of 3” and with ULL enhancement this is likely to be widespread. Max amounts will depend on coastal track
