I don't care who you are but when you look at the thermals on the euro you can't tell me your not slightly worried raleigh east or raleigh south into the sandhills. it is a good model and it shows warming around midnight and after that at least bares watching for a few folks. there is not a lot of moisture to go around to waste on rain to snow and then to want accumulations on a wet ground with temps near 36. 

again most here are cold enough just saying

I'm not really worried here in Wilson (east of RDU) because I don't think there is much chance of us getting anything to begin with.  We have a "cold chasing moisture" situation where the moisture is marginal at best.  It has victory written all over it.

I don’t think this is a cold-chasing-moisture event for most. Not consistent with any ULL I’ve seen.

Nothing much has been said about it but there's going to be Boundary Layer issues in Central NC with this system. Count on it. Especially if the S/W keeps trending SW.

What was that I said 2 days ago about Boundary Layer issues in Central NC? It never fails.

2"-3" is better than 0"-0". What is the probability of the JMA being in the ball park? Less than 5%? 

Euro run was a pretty good middle ground of all the models...I'd say it's a good first call for now.

For mydaddyman, I totally get the temperature concerns...it comes with the territory...but the Euro verbatim flips it quickly to snow or is all snow in Wake county.

Yeah, you're right. I'm just hoping at this point to see a decent snowfall. Hope y'all friends out West get to see some too.

From RAH (...nothing new as far as we're concerned):

.SHORT TERM /TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...

As of 345 AM Monday...

 

...Light Snow Possible Wednesday Morning/Afternoon...

 

The mid/upper level flow will again become amplified across the

region during this time, as a positively tilted trough will approach

the area from the west, allowing an arctic cold front to move

through the area Wednesday morning/afternoon. The precip with this

system is expected to generally be along and behind the surface

front. With low level thickness values crashing behind the front

we`ll likely see precip start as a cold rain or mix of rain/snow,

before changing to all snow (though we may see just rain for a

majority of the time across the far SE). The latest GFS/NAM

(generally a 0.10" or less liquid equivalent) continue to show less

precip than the ECMWF (up to 0.20" of liquid equivalent), with the

bulk of the precip expected across the northern half of the area on

the GFS/NAM. Regardless it`s looking like we may see some light

accumulating snowfall across the northern half of the area on

Wednesday. Expect we could see up to 1 to 1.5 inches of snow

generally near and north of the U.S. highway 64 corridor, with

amounts ranging from a trace to near half an inch to the south.

Amounts are dependent on the cold air arriving on time, which at

times is a tripping point for NWP models for locations east of the

mountains, thus the forecast is still a rather low confidence one.

 

Low temps on Wednesday morning are expected to range from the mid to

upper 20s NW to the lower 30s elsewhere. Highs on Wednesday will

generally be in the 30s, with some locations likely to see temps

fall during the afternoon.
