I don't wanna harp on this but it seems like whenever the area DOES get the potential for winter weather, there's some serious shade being thrown at WRAL. Don't get me wrong, I hate seeing it, but often they're toe to toe with the other locals (sometimes even higher). Just this storm, comparing the 3 local majors (and referencing Wake for this post and this storm): ABC11: <1" CBS 17: Trace - 1" WRAL: <1" I'm guessing that's just because we (myself included) have a dedicated station they trust in WRAL, but they're not shooting off-the-wall numbers. #CarryOn

Struggling to find the right place to get enough eyes but not get the post removed. Raleigh native and been here for 42+ years except for a short stint I spent getting my art/marketing degree at Western Carolina University. Point of the post, I teamed up with a friend here in Raleigh who’s a screen printer and have a shirt running for the next two weeks to raise proceeds ($14 per shirt) for WNC. Check it out, share with friends! https://humblymade.com/collections/campaigns-by-humbly-made

Confirmed EF-3 by NWS. Crazy. .

Just like a model, you can’t discredit 39 years of knowledge as much as people want to. His conservative approach often wins out. .

Not to take away from ANYONE on the boards because these guys are absolute wizards when it comes to this stuff... ...but it’s relativity easy for someone to say on a amateur weather forum ‘crush job on the 0z’ and turn around and say ‘zilch on the 6z.’ Zero repercussion. “But the models have been consistent.” Yes. Clown maps have indeed shown paste jobs for a while, but a forecast is more than just a clown map, otherwise on-air personalities would be extinct in the field, one could just go look for themselves. Professionals in this field live and breath the metrics beyond just the maps we see. You and I both know Fishel wants no more than to see feet of snow, but 39.5yrs of logic tells him to say no until certainty. Let’s take what we see and say “we’re right” and not bash the ones who do this for a living “you’re wrong.” .

FV3 trying to throw a curve-ball, pun intended. .

Shift in NHC cone.

Tick north rather. Ends up about 75 Miles NE OF 0z at landfall. .
