Euro looks great with the backside northern stream wave dropping in. Light snows down into GA and the upstate on Mon

I am really pulling for you but man it is hard to get even flurries down your way. Ice Storm's are more common than snow down there.

It looks like the 850 low goes way south of us off the coast right? Isn't that in itself a good thing?

This is one case where I was just giving an observation of the 850s... Nothing else

Sorry, I was not meaning it in a bad way. I spent the first 21 years of my life down there and my family still lives down that way. So I know first hand how it feels.

Good lord, can we please stop with the "how about my backyard" questions? You all know how to read and know that maps and very detailed discussions will eventually begin to surface. I hope the mods can get a hold on some of these posters. Enough is enough!

In fairness 90% of these posters are in north carolina, im in upstate so i dont ask a lot of MBY questions but we all want to know, especially for maps that some of us dont have access too

Yes, you want the 850 Low to track to your south.

850 low tracks from Shreveport to Wilmingon...would prefer it to be Charleston for Charlotte proper with this strong of a closed low

98% of the time other board members either end up posting said maps or at least offer a PBP for all of us.

It stays closed for about 6 months a year on the southern section.

FYI.....for those concerned about what wording the RAH NWS uses publicly, you can expect them to really beef up their wording this afternoon.

By the way Niner your image is showing surface pressure instead of 850 heights, but with 850mb vorticity

Thanks Matthew!

Ha they're going to beef it up after models come in with a warmer solution.  Still looks to be impactful west of the Triangle, though.

Warmer? I thought the Euro got colder???

no, the kuchera snow map moved further northwest in the end. all the stock is on the initial precip being snow then it goes to a mix and rain pretty quickly.

The Euro did for some areas, but as you can see from the data over the course of the last 12 hours, generally, we're seeing things like weaker highs, slightly north or closer to the coast low pressures, slightly less of a cold air pus, and of course, the snow maps are starting to respond by showing less snow and/or migrating slightly north and west.  Not really any better trends today for the south and east edges.
