Yea, the 00z GFS looked quite a bit different. But how trustworthy is the GFS this close to the event?

I think what stood out to me was the fact the HRR is doing it too... and the local news future-casts with the RPM model.

 

The 12z Euro ens members had over 20 with some kind of frozen falling around KCAE.  I am still thinking we won't see anything, but hm.  A surprise would be nice.

Yeah, the new GFS is all over a heavy rain event here.  Looks like close to 1" of rain for the immediate Triad area and 0.25-0.5" for SW NC and NW SC.

 

It's been raining steadily for a couple hours now, too.

 

The GFS also gives inland Maine a big snowstorm.  The capes get a lot of rain, which might have been snow if it wasn't early November.

This was WLTX's projection for 9am tomorrow.

Well, that about covers Lookout's prediction imo.  Jim Gandy posting that up on Twitter is a big move too.  He usually has very little optimism in any kind of Winter weather, especially something like this.  I very well could have busted saying CAE wouldn't see anything but graupel.

The 03z HRR already looks like it's going to look pretty good for the midlands.. cold air plunging in a lot better imo.  Will update this post with the simulated radar when it comes out and off to bed I go.

 

Laurens, Parts of Newberry, Saluda under heavy returns of the blue color by 7am.  Trying to creep into Lexington... zigs back a bit.  Doesn't look as good for the central midlands, but meh.  It's going to do what it does.  Night guys.

I wonder what the average first snow at CAE is....

 

Probably sometime in January.

 

EDIT: According to this interactive map on weather.com, the average first snowfall for CAE is between January 27th-February 5th.
