Does anyone know the NWS' rationale for the following forecast:

 

Wed night 80% chance of snow.

 

Thu 80% chance of rain/snow/sleet.  Precip amounts between 0.25 and 0.50". 

 

My question is the following:

 

Why does it give a precip amount for Thursday but not for Wed night? 

 

p.s. 00 UT NAM looked very good.

After looking closer at the NAM, the area of convection over obx and the health of the nw shield definitely seem to be tied together. I would expect a more solid and broad shield NW of the low center.

Convective feedback? Every weenie's hope after a lame run.

I liked the run personally but apparently I'm in the minority. And CF stuff gets tossed around a lot. I think the snip I posted justifies the possibility more than just weenieing out. Lest not forget the euro and ens paste us all with 1.4"+

Too late man. 6-12" is your recorded call. No turning back. 

I'll probably turn back tomorrow...though I liked what I saw on the NAM.  I actually hope the Euro deeks back east a tad.  Looked to me like the high resolution was gonna end up heavier than the operational.  It had me at 1.20 and still had be in a really nice simulated radar band.

Gee, I forgot I was on, I would have been more conservative with amounts.
