AirNelson39 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm not sure why most had a lot of hope in this or don't understand why it's remaining "dry" for east of the Apps. With as many clippers as we have had people should know they rarely rarely amount to anything east of the Apps. This is a true rain shadow effect unlike the last storm that was more of a warm shadow in the foothills. I can recall way too my times where 2-3" were predicted from a clipper in the foothills and we woke up with a trace, if that. So I would not consider this a "fail" it's just natural for this system.

Jon Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Slowly but surely decreasing precip for central NC, almost by half each run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 So as of right now it looks like the SREF is the only model showing more than a nuisance event. Here is the 9z fpr 24 hr precip: EDIT(for Central NC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 No change from me...I already had the very low precip. acknowledgement from earlier. Looking forward to the opportunity to see 1-3 feet here in the mountains, lot of people going to be caught off guard up here with drifts up to their roof tops. I'm trying to warn all of my friends and family of the impeding snowpocalypse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDeac Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Ok guys, here is my latest forecast http://www.examiner.com/article/forecast-for-january-25th-winter-weather-event Thanks as always. Guess it's not necessarily "next" as most people keep saying. I definitely agree with a banding type precip signature, where some could see significant accum, while others get zilch.

audioguy3107 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Is it just me or is FFC pulling the trigger on watches and warnings earlier this year than usual? Seems a marginal event like this would make them a little hesitant. Didn't expect a warning out of this unless it was apparent that it was due to overperform.
