0z Euro puts snow down in TX/OK into AR then into southern TN and northern MS/AL, extreme north GA and northern Upstate SC and into southern NC. Precip doesn't make it any farther north than I-40 this time around.

Canadian takes the parent surface low into southeast MI.

My gut is the GFS is really over-amplifying the eastern NA trough early next week.....this is in the wheelhouse of GFS biases. Thus, is continues to crush the disturbance and suppress it too much.

Canadian is probably over-intensifying the low with wrapping it up that far north.

I think a solution somewhere relatively close to what the 0z Euro today and yesterday showed is the way I leaning right now.

With all of that said, our storm system today is really kind of the first domino to fall relating to our pattern next week as it moves into the Northeast. So, changes and model flip-flops are likely.

Speaking of today/tonight's system, I am concerned about the severe weather potential tonight. A lot of the severe weather indices around here are progged to be quite comparable to what has been in place across the Deep South last night/ early this AM. And as the surface low really starts to crank near that triple point as it approaches the region, the wind profiles could become even more conducive. Instability is obviously lacking in a large sense, but there could easily be enough for lots of damaging wind reports and some tornadoes as well.

NAM is painting some pretty significant qpf...if's the NAM of course but any concerns for flooding around the CLT area?

Also thanks for the update on next weeks storm.

Bring it on!

Temperatures have varied little since midnight with a low of 42 and currently sitting at 46 and rising 1.1 degrees/hr. It's VERY foggy so it doesn't feel too bad outside. According to my Davis I've had .82" in the last 24 hours, .14" since midnight. I check my CoCoRaHS in about 20 minutes (looks like no rain around that time!!!). It's been raining off and on, when it rains, it rains hard, it just doesn't last long right now. The individual showers and TS are moving very quickly NE.

It appears the main batch of rain is moving east very slowly and is fairly wide. THIS will be my chance for the big rain. Glad to hear some of you are getting the rain you needed. I'm with you!

I thought the radio show was good last night. Always something to learn. I new here and I know who Wes is but if you don't mind me asking, who is DT?

Yes, I can see the possibility of flash flooding problems even in the Triad and Charlotte zones. But the bigger problem areas will be the foothills/ mountains. I still think storm total amounts of 3-5" in many of those areas.

8 am update 4.02 so far been a steasdy moderate rain about all nite.

Wow.

That is amazing. You area always gets racked in this setup. Thanks for the obs, keep them coming!!!!

I'm suprised to have as much as I do, but the GFS insisted that some decent totals would be here by morning. This map is a little underdone, I'm at .45" overnight. Still lightly raining

If I remember correctly you have now doubled your monthly total! Congrats. Hope to see you hit the 1" mark before its all said and done.

Rainforrest, I love to hear your reports, even during last years snow, you always impressed; especially you being about 30 min away.

Sitting around an inch and half in the whee.

That map always looks a little underdone....

I think in light rain/southeasterly upslope situations its usually underdone, but usually its pretty good for me in general. For the yearly total estimates on the analysis page it looks legit.

Rainforrest, I love to hear your reports, even during last years snow, you always impressed; especially you being about 30 min away and so drastic in conditions.

well my monthly total before this was about .50" so yeah its almost doubled now. Surely I can get another .50" from this one to give me an inch.

As of 7am this morning it was .84". So I assume maybe another .10 since then.

also,

When should we see the winds began to shift to the SW and S?

I also checked Wright Weather's which is exactly the same, to the pixel. So I'm not sure why this instance is underdone here. Whats your total. I'm wondering if the radar mode has been changed.
