mackerel_sky Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Very latest rpm on wyff shows a little precip by 12pm heavy snow burst by 2 pm! Good stuff by 6pm! Looks like all snow after 2pm! Please be right!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 That was a great discussion from GSP. Love the enthusiasm. RAH has shifted the highest axis of accumulations NW, now stretching from the Triad northeastward. They have upped the totals to 8" here. Here are the latest clowns from the GFS/NAM using the kuchera method: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think GSP to CLT has to worry much about mixing, but I'm always overly optimistic. My bigger worry would be expecting big totals. Gotta keep an eye on thunderstorms flaring up in the panhandle of Florida and robbing some of the moisture. Hopefully though everyone gets 8 inches or more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 The 6z nam was not as amped. RDU looks much better. It's tough being on the mix line. Go big, or go home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then at 2, very heavy blob with dark green and yellows South to Greenwood, but a heavy snow return over most of Greenville Spartanburg conties, then nothing till about 6pm, but keeps it as snow by 6, without starting as rain/mix, like yesterday!

The mix line is very thin and all the way South of Lauren's county, and light snow in CLT by 7:30ish! Will be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TullyHeel Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Euro, GFS, and GEFS all look great. GFS still not budging. Even the NAM is a little better. Heck, 5 inches of snow and some sleet would still be a big storm for us. Sometimes you have to walk that line to get the big snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaggy Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Well here east of 95 I've watched this one melt away. The gfs and it's ensembles have been rock steady and crushing us for the last 2 to 3 days. If it's been this wrong then I'll never trust it again. Mhx did up our accumulations in the latest 430am winter storm warning from 2-5 back up to 3-6 though so now I'm just gonna sit back and wait for the bust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says that snow could start as early as 2-3 pm in the Triad. I'm a little concerned that school systems should dismiss 2 hours early to get everyone home before 4-5 pm.
