Potential 1/17-1/18 threat

FYI, the HRR/RAP/ and now 12km NAM are showing what i was alluding to yesterday with respect to increased lift from the warm bubble over the western Upstate combined with the inverted trough created from the northwest flow wrapping around the mountains. You can see that enhancement clear as day now on the sim radars.

From the RAH discussion:

 

While we could see a brief period of rain or rain-snow mix at onset,
especially east of the US 1 where precip will move in after
daybreak, deep layer cooling will result in a quick change-over to
snow, with high snow:liquid ratios of 12:18 expected in the 3 to 6
hour window of strongest forcing, similar to the upstream ratios we
saw across Middle Tn and Central-Eastern Tn earlier this morning.
This would support a broad swath of 2 to 4 inches(0.5-1.0"/hour
rate)across interior sections of the state, with localized higher
amounts of 5 to 6 inches certainly possible given the favorable set
up for banding precip

Radar simulation begins to go boom over the upstate around 1-2AM...then E and NE from there

14 hours of precip verbatim on the NAM at CLT

Yeah, if that's the case (unlikely) I don't think it's possible to have only .3 in of QPF. Seems like the precip is always a couple hours later to start and earlier to leave. I'll certainly still take 10 hours of snow and 3+ inches though.
