  1. I think the hires NAM has stumbled upon a pretty realistic depiction of how this will play out. ULL max zone, coastal crush zone. Screw zone in between. Maybe cut precip totals by 25-50% overall and call it a day. Screw zone location TBD depending on timing, trough tilt etc.
  2. The HRRR is really only good for taking radar trends as the event unfolds (under 8 hours) and creating a kind of future radar projection. And for thermal profiles. I wish they had never made it run past 18 hours
  3. They are doing damage control for it/when the forecast busts. I get the get blowback, and especially after last week's storm they are sensitive to their viewer's response if the forecast busts. But ultimately it's bad forecasting to pick the models with the lowest amounts and find justification for why it's going to be correct
  4. Yeah I mean I would say the trend is meaningful and somewhere in the Piedmont is likely to get the dry slot. At the same time, the HRRR and 3km NAM solutions just don't quite pass the sniff test. Not sure they are handling the ULL/phase correctly. It's more concerning for the Triad. I think the Triangle gets the coastal/WAA banding and should hit 3"+ no problem
  5. For sure. Better for the Triangle and points East. May dry slot the Triad
  6. HRRR is running. Dry and a late start so far East of 77, but starting to crank by late morning
  7. The cliff diving thread is going to be hopping Tommorow morning
  8. In case it wasn't abundantly clear, that is the edge of the model's domain being that it is a Canadian model
  9. The Hires RGEM. Did far and away the best with our last storm
  10. There's definitely some models that support that dry slot. It makes sense but it's kinda a 50/50 at this point
  11. People going to be calling bust tomorrow morning when there is expected to be a massive dry slot over central NC with banding to the NW. Going to have to be patient and wait for everything to fill in and pivot, just something to keep in mind
  12. Getting down into the low to mid 20s overnight with full cloud cover is really impressive. Just goes to show how potent the airmass we are working with is
  13. The RGEM has the look of a model locked in, fairly small shifts over the past 4 runs.
  14. Greenville has a great shot at a top 5 daily snowfall record. Even a chance at the all time record of 13" set in 1896
  15. The NAM has been so inconsistent it is hard to take seriously
  16. Yeah and I think less moisture overall on the latest HRRR is in response to the overall trend towards more positive tilt
  17. Looks good for Raleigh to the coast, drier for the NW Piedmont
  18. The biggest thing that will help Raleigh is if the stall of the coastal occurs south of cape lookout. Will give a chance for banding to build in. Of course, the closer to the coast the better
