HKY_WX Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Pretty crazy. This thing is cranking now. Going to be interesting to see where this SLP actually ends up later tonight and if it trends/jumps to the gulf stream/outer banks area. A Raleigh weenie can only hope.

Solak Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 As Allan posts the above, RAH just put this out... As of 450 PM Wednesday We will add a row of counties to the west to account for current observational data / radar trends indicating accumulating light snow in Richmond... Moore... Lee... Chatham... Durham... Granville... and Vance Counties of the Sandhills and eastern Piedmont. An average of up to an inch is likely in the Advisory Area. ...Winter Storm Warning in effect for counties along and east of I- 95. Winter Weather Advisory in effect for counties between U.S. Highway 1 and I-95... We did not change the Warning or Advisory areas. However, trends in the observational data and the latest models with the 12z/03 January run for the event, have been drier inland over central NC, and faster in ending the snow over the Coastal Plain. The observational data continues to support this idea as very dry air continued to advect into central NC from the NNW. The winds have backed to the NW in response to the deepening storm well off the SC coast at mid-afternoon. Dew points were near zero in the NW and Central Piedmont ranging to 10 or so around Clinton and Goldsboro. Needless to say, this is a very dry air mass and it continued to dry from the NW over inland areas. Light snow has been developing/spreading northward into the southern part of the Sandhills where some very light trace accumulations have been reported around Rockingham and even Southern Pines as of 330 PM. Temperatures have leveled off in the 29-34 range, with readings expected to fall from here. Light snow is expected to overspread the southern and eastern third of our region by 00z/this evening, with a chance of light snow as far NW as Wadesboro, Sanford, Raleigh, and Louisburg by that time. A light dusting to 0.5 inch is expected, mainly south of Sanford to Smithfield to Wilson by 00z/this evening. The very dry air in the west and north will greatly limit the NW extent of the precipitation shield, with plenty of evaporation and likely a few hours of virga, even in the east. The light snow is expected to spread north and northeast, with the emphasis along the Interstate 95 corridor this evening into the early morning hours of Thursday. This occurs as the low deepens and tracks along or just east of the Gulf Stream off the SC/NC coast. The trends from this morning continue to suggest the dry air will win out over much of the eastern Piedmont where only a dusting is expected. We will maintain the Advisory area but concede that this most likely would be a worst case scenario. The Coastal Plain is still expected to get 2-4 inches of snow (the 4 inches should be east of Interstate 95), with 2-3 inches on average expected over the Warning area. This is 25 percent less than the previous package due to the trends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The band to your east won’t get much further west. Unfortunately we got snow holed...bummer. But precip definitely made it further west than anticipated.

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I think the radar will largely fill in as well. The slp is still far to our south. Radar shows moisture streaming onshore. There looks to be a mesoscale feature near Wilmington maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
