This storm looks like an AL/GA hit.

I hope this thing can turn around from the recent warming 850 mb temperature trends. There's time but this sudden warming of 850's over the last 12 or so hours of various runs is the last thing that the doctor ordered, unfortunately. The odds are not good IMO. Barring something incredibly freaky, it will not snow with 850's a couple of degrees above 0C

I think the precip shield ends up being further north with this system than currently molded. I think in a lot of ways it acts like the Feb 1 (?) storm last year where two days from the event qpf starts ramping up further north and west of again what's currently molded. However I do not think this ends up being a Miller A. We have to go with the hot hand and we have seen these systems a lot this winter and they end up NOT being a Miller A. I don't see anything to change that this go round. I hope I'm wrong though. 

I tend to agree about the precip probably being further north but  it really doesn't matter because the boundary layer is in no way supportive of anything frozen. Wetbulb zero heights are up around 925mb with surface temps in the mid 30s to near 40 at their coldest friday morning with dewpoints only in the 30s (with temps in the upper 40s to low 50s during the day).  So even if there is a lot more precip, it's just too warm and it's not even close.

 

That said, if one completely ignores temps, you would think a surprise might be in store..hell of a lot of virga on the nam

GFS looks like its gonna have a better *phased* looked but bury the energy until it can string it out and flatten it eastward.  Long story short, about time to give up.

 

edit:  What an amazing, yet crummy trend, with the 850's.  They have went from like -2c to almost -4c now to barely at 0c around the I-20 corridor.  When we had the -3c or so showing at 850mb and some heavier qpf with 2m temps near 37-40 I thought well, maybe possible...NOW, forget it!  What a crappy winter folks...just freakin' crappy.

Hey, Pack, you do realize that Franklin, NC, is in the southwestern corner of the state?  That's nowhere near Greensboro.  I guess you could say that NAVGEM map showed snow for both of their areas, but the heaviest precipitation was actually east of Greensboro.

 

Yeah, but still a good SLP track for you guys.  I don't know why I thought it was SE of Winston.

Hope the Canadian holds on today with it's light snow solution.

Even though the NAVGEM is a terrible model, it does give me hope. Of course, hope is a bad thing in this winter of failure.

 

The GFS leaves the energy behind and the NAVGEM brings it out immediately, progression FTW...probably why the GEFS has been showing hits.

 

The GFS does bring it out right after but nothing really drops in on it.

The NAVGEM has been the most consistent model of them all. Hope it pulls the coup. It'll be the biggest upset since the Soviet Union lost to the USA in hockey in 1980.

 

The NAVGEM ends up tracking it up 95, pounding a lot of people.  It's a borderline HECS.

 

Ends up sub-980 over the cape, LOL
