For what it's worth, 6z BUFKIT had 11" for RDU.

You're the pro so you're seeing things I'm not I am sure. I'm concerned that the flow looked so progressive on the euro. If we can slow it down like we had yesterday at 12z then I think we've got a pretty good signal.

To be honest, I feel more confident in the high than I do QPF at this point. It's hard for those La Nina waves to hold up across the country. I picked Burlington out of thin air and there's too many 0.0s for my liking.

Not awful

The old GFS seems to have caught up to the 0z GFSV16.

A solid second place in the mid range roughly, yes.

Ain’t much a 1044MB high can’t fix for us

Really gets cranking and buries New Bern and Jacksonville and all the sound adjacent areas.

Heavy snow from Greenville to southside VA.

Snow breaking out across almost the entirety of NC except the area around Murphy at 180.

GFSv16 has a 1044MB high pressure at 174 in lower Ontario.

Yes. Honestly, my gut says more IP than ZR. Bufkit had a 21:1 ratio for RDU at 180.

18z GEFS mean would imply a storm that progresses from ZR -> IP -> SN(potentially just IP -> SN) for much of NC. I’m not really worried about the snow maps so much as pattern recognition.

Euro ENSMEAN for the day 8 event has one of the strongest damming signals on a smoothed out mean I've ever seen at this lead time. Ever.

Still got a lazy eye on what passes through Thursday. That is a perfect example of an event that could jump north quickly.

Another heavy frost

18z GFS made a big step toward the euro solution.

Yep, better push those ptypes south.

I think honestly it'd be more sleet with what I saw. the 925 temps for MBY were around -6.

Yep. I knew something was up around 162 or so.

Probably more sleet here than zr given that setup. I’d expect more ZR down toward the border counties. That’s how it has traditionally gone.

I’ve seen storms that go backward like that before. If I had to guess, it would be less ZR than depicted.
