Watching the WRAL iControl though the rain/snow line is just west of Chapel Hill. If you loop it from 5:20-5:50 or so it advances then retreats a bit and stalls. Hope that is not going to be challenge here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go any further NW and run the risk of it being drier..while further se and temps are an issue. Interesting to note...temps have been about 3 to 5 degrees colder than the models were showing back home...someone even said they saw a few flakes. I was conflicted about whether to leave or not since I've been thinking the models were probably 4 or 5 degrees too warm and with heavy precip/lift a much sooner changeover was possible. What forced my hand though was that models were warming temps aloft ever so slightly each run and chances of an earlier changeover was less and less. Will be interesting to see what actually happens. heck, maybe we should roadtrip to your house. i went to Athens several years ago when we got zilch here and Athens got about 8. soon as I crossed 85 it went from a dusting to about 5 inches in less than a mile.

You want to look at the Dew point, which is slightly different than humidity. The lower the dew point, the drier the air. if the dew point is high and still no precip, then it must just be virga or radar reflections that look like precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure what to believe. FFC has me on the eastern side of a 4-6" swath while others are saying areas to my east may get more. I'm not sure if I'd rather be further east or further west. FFC says places like Rome, Dalton, etc will get 4-6" also. I guess the warm nose will keep areas off to my east and southeast warmer meaning less snow ?

Yes its a risk, but my take right now is I'm staying put. that is always subject to change, but right now staying put, could be the sweet spot.

I think upstate is going to struggle with temps and transition the whole time. Then if we do transition, boundary layer temps are too warm for much accum. We may struggle with moisture...I mean, where is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
