Almost a Rain_Cold special. :)

Still worried about temps though. I've witnessed many 1500ft snowstorms in my life, while holding an umbrella in my hand.

Rates overcome all! :)

Would be a kick in the bricks, to get some moderate moisture back your way and then get rain!? Always , always, cold first, is most important ! I'm ready for clippergeddon on Mon/Tues! I'll get the rain, while y'all score an inch! :)

Temp profiles are borderline at best even for RDU, per the GFS, so don't get too excited.

Good point. Really GFS is all rain for Raleigh.

 

Notice the soundings. Raleigh. Even a warm nose present above and below 850 700.

Notice the warm nose durring the highest mositure. Close to 0C.

That cools off. But then the moisture moves out. DP temps or Wetbulbs dont support nothing frozen from 925 to surface.

I'll take that 10 times out of 10 when we're talking about the lack of cold like we are here. A bigger warm nose around 850 would worry me more than one at surface. Column could cool fast in this situation.

Thats true as well. It would probably work out if the moisture stays around. But the moisture appears to be in and out via gfs.

Moisture and lots of it is key. I don't think overall low position or track changes, just how much moisture is thrown our way definitely has time to trend well. We'll see but I agree overall, temp profile is poor but much better than I thought it would be.
