Morehead City NWS office just issued a Winter Storm Watch for almost all of there area including the Outer Banks. Will Wakefield follow suit? I kinda doubt it will less QPF, but i would be happy with 2 inches from this system.

Probably need to see the chance for 4+in to get a watch here. I imagine we get a WWA sometime soon

Morehead has different criteria. For AKQ's CWA, the criteria is 4.0" and the forecaster has to be at least 50% confident.

Meanwhile, they put up a WSW for parts of NE NC.

Thanks for the heads up, I didnt realize the criteria was different for two areas that are so close to each other.

Yes. I believe 3.0" is the threshold for MHX. Seems to work well.

The gradient is even steeper here in PA. We need 6.0" for a warning, while 10 miles south of here, it's 4.0".
