Are you talking about the ULL moving through Monday, or are you talking about Sunday afternoon? No, not the ULL...I'm talking on Sunday. 0 deg is roughly along NC/SC border early Sun, then bisects the state west to east midday, then it moves NW to western NC Sun aftn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the snow totals for central NC looking like before the changeover? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 The EC was used and weighted along with some GFS/CMC fields. The NAM profiles were not incorporated as it was deemed too warm at h85 and was an outlier, but will be watched for further trends. In my personal experience the NAM normally does quite well with the warm nose in this area.Thanks,@isohume.

Waiting on snow Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I remember closing in on the Feb 2014 event that the upper layers started coming in colder as the medium range models came in play. I don't remember exactly how far out though. Being 54 hrs out or so now you would think tonight at Oz something need to start happening and definitely by 12z tomorrow. If not I think it'll be a lot of heartbreak come go time for the 85 camp. You can't go into one of these storms being modeled on the edge. Cutoff most likely ends up nw of where modeled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 @isohume if you get us a foot of snow, I’ll find the Vikings a kicker that can’t miss. Seriously though, not jealous of y’all tonight.

PackGrad05 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'm pretty shocked at some of the high totals I see for Wake from some of the mets that are usually conservative. I am not making a map because I really only forecast for the Wake area. If I did, I would have 1-3" of snow for Wake, 3" in the NW and 1" in SE. My reasons: Medium range models show temperatures borderline and warm in Central NC. Soundings also show a very borderline event with a warm nose at times. It is very hard to overcome the warm once it is there. Mixing and wet snow will cut down on ratios considerably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each forecaster has their own take on what's working better, but yeah the EC will be given good weight I imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that event because it was so easy to forecast for ATL bexause the wedge was so massive. There was zero doubt as to if it would get there. As it turned out it was so strong they saw mostly PL instead of FZRA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No where near the strong cold push and that was Feb. There was no doubt about the cold with that storm. Just precip types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
