I would put the odds of a trace or less of snow for Charlotte, GSP, Raleigh and GSO at 70%. Based on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be a death knell in February/March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgain13 Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 12Z GFS still showing the possible Winter Storm for next Friday. Nice to see that 2 runs in a row. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The 12z GFS is considerably weaker with the 7th system. With that said, more importantly is the overall pattern is still complete crap. The SE Ridge is not going anywhere except for quick relaxations here and there. It just isn't in the cards this year. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weaker is fine for me, especially near the transition zone in central NC. I don't want a real amped storm that pumps in a lot of warm air. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WSchew Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 Looking at the near term... 3k NAM is hinting at flakes with the disturbance late Thursday morning. Looks to be confined north of i40/421 from Boone spreading down into the Piedmont to about GSO. Surface temps in the mid 30s, so I doubt any accumulation. Continued support from some of the globals and the last frame of the RGEM. CMC has been hell bent on this for a few days now, but it pushed precip further up into VA on the latest run. Something else to track at the very least. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except most of those winters took place before 2010, you know, when it actually got cold every now and then. Most of us haven't even had a close call yet.

The high pressure jumped from Canada to Penn down to Delmarva and back to NY with each 3 hour jump. If it could have stayed just a little further south and a tick stronger it could have put a lot more people in the game. The Low is also interesting, very weak until it forms of the SC coast. Need it just a tad bit south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two Dec storms were good to most of you and you all had a good March a couple of years ago. Just hasn't been quite enough of a cold push for areas further south. Almost but not quite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of these are impressive in their own way. But aren't these outliers? Instead of specifying 1 cold week in one state in the SE, or mentioning 2 events in one city in that state in the SE, couldn't we come up with a better measure? Maybe we could compare Asheville's avg snowfall between 2010-2019 and compare to it's historical avg? Or maybe instead of focusing on that crazy cold week that was referenced in NC 2 years ago, we could compare it to the overall avg winter temperature that year, which if I recall correctly, was one big torch? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
