More cold rain Where's Packbacker? Did he already burn out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, a Low over the Gulf states and then off the NC coast at D6 with no high and no CAD? 0% chance Raleigh sees anything other than a predominantly cold rain.

What basis do you have for this? There is PLENTY of cold on the 500mb map. This isn’t like our last system where we are waiting and hoping the cold arrives in time, it will already be in place and it’s a matter of how far south the energy digs. Verbatim, this track is a Central to Eastern NC crusher with 4-8” of snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually needs to come NW on EURO and GFS and CMC haha but UK looks nice. We could actually handle a small trend NW on UK or a stronger low too.

The lack of cold was based on my local forecast that has a high of 55 and 60 for next Sat/Sun, and local AFD saying next weekend temps were at normal!

Most busts in my backyard, occur when precip gets here ahead of the cold! Seeing as that for whatever reason, our winter storms seem to arrive 12-18 hours ahead of schedule, this stale cold could work!

If we sped this up to Thursday, we could be golden But this storm is moving through on Friday... two days after we have highs struggling to get above freezing and very COLD, DRY air in place. CAD may very well setup with the type of airmass in place AND the track is favorable to keep that cold in place. Many of our snowstorms here in Central and Eastern NC come from this classic Miller A setup. Lack of HP is the only thing missing but with the 50/50 low setting up and pressing down it should keep heights low enough along with the 500mb vort track.

Gonna be slow at work, so I have time to track! Like I said, I'll try stale cold air, I havnt had luck with fresh cold air coming before the moisture! If it's cold and dry enough, could lock in an in-situ wedge! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Holy cow at how good the UKMet looks. A few GFS Ens members have it...need more, but interesting to have the UKMet on it, probably my favorite model at the moment for SE winter threats.

griteater Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 New Euro coming in looks improved with the storm. Has low in NE gulf moving across N FL. It's having trouble though getting precip back into the cold air which is to the NW across N GA and W NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 There's no real cold air to the NW of the storm, so it's a big rain event for everyone except possibly the mountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Who knows how the details shake out here, but the 500mb evolution is remarkably similar to this past storm......wave wash/repeat If you have NFL Sunday Ticket, it is absolutely pouring snow in Buffalo. Heaviest I've ever seen in an NFL game. Even more than the Philly game a couple of years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Maybe I notice it more because I follow the models a lot more, but it is so frustrating that it can be freezing cold and then when the precipitation gets here, it is just warm enough for a cold miserable rain.

If we sped this up to Thursday, we could be golden Well I'm not very good at these maps but it looks like cold is a little deeper and east this map compared to last system. Interesting to see yet another possibility with no apparent high and several lows, and yes, a GL low. If there is a N Fla to off the Carolina coast track that should work for someone on the board. Trough also looks sharper verbatim, so need to watch s/w tilt and of course timing. As always, keep climo in mind; NW will almost be certain and cold will be a problem outside elevation. Thanks for input Grit. I'd be interested to hear thoughts from Lookout, Wow, and Burrell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
