Well, I was hoping for a shift SW today but not happening. Unfortunately, we will mix a lot in Wake County.  I'd much prefer to be up in Brick's area but for myself, Pack, and ColdRain...it's not looking good.

Apex is not that bad for Wake County. You're at least in the western part of the county.

Lol all of the above?  No other model is showing this sort of thermal profile.  Most models are still ticking NW, even the short range ones.  I think it's the GFS's lower resolution that's the problem.  I would be shocked if entire Wake didn't mix and for a good period too.  We almost certainly will not remain all snow down here.  If I'm wrong, I will never doubt this model again.

I'm just east of the airport near brier creek, so I feel halfway decent per the 18z gfs/euro. NAM and all related models show us mixing for pretty much half the event. That's the difference b/n 12 inches and 5 inches. Someone just NW of that line in far NW wake county is going to get buried.  I still think the NAM is overdone given the setup. It's just not that dynamic of a setup IMO for a SLP to track so close to the coastline. There could perhaps be some convective issues. That said, it's often very accurate on mixing, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's right. If we take a middle road for NW wake county, you're looking at around 7 inches or so.

Pissed off. Hate being right on the line- odd that now the NAM is snowier than the GFS. I hope I even get the 1" that the GFS has for me. May have to venture up north.


Same here...some of the models are showing 1.00in QPF from 7:00pm to 7:00am here in Athens, Ga....hate the warm nose. Hoping for something on the back side.

Been thinking all along that this is a 'moderate' level storm Niner, not a big boy....we shall see.

Grit, are you thinking some of those widespread QPF totals of 1-1.5" QPF are overdone?  It seems like we've done this song and dance before, and then had the really high QPF totals not happen.  It generally seems pretty difficult to get 1" QPF worth of snow in NC outside of the mountains, except in really memorable storms.

Yeah I like to knock off a certain percentage from the model QPF....also, been saying that the overall setup for this one is good, but it's not a prolonged, long fetch overrunning event, or a phased, deepening, slow moving low, so can't expect huge big dog totals...obviously, these are just my thoughts as I see it

Very hard to get over 1".  GEFS and EPS are both over 1.2"....would think 0.8-0.9" is possible.  But, Raleigh is going to waste .1 or so on rain, maybe a little more.
