Wow radar looks impressive.

Good luck guys and gals. Considering how crappy this winter has been.

Rooting for a over preformer. 

so far QPF doesn't appear to be an issue. We just have to watch those temps.

Looks probable to me. Battle lines in the usual spots of course. I'll bet somewhere along 74 overperforms on this. In about an hour they line up to cliffs as soon as the temp doesn't drop as fast they expect due to evap-cooling :arrowhead:

Weenies never change :lol:  Nice to see you drop by. :wub:

Interesting to note the HRRR initialized its 11Z run with the 850 line running through Cornelius, yet the SPC observed 850 line is almost all the way to Monroe. The short range stuff is not going so hot. This is why model watching at this point is a no go.

I'd like to throw the Hrrrr out, but it's hard to do.  It still eventually gets to snow but it takes a long time.  Hopefully, it's wrong.  I assume it's solely due to the boundary layer.

Burrel2 are you really buying this? I believe the warm bubble that often effects eastern Oconee County and western Pickens County will rear its ugly head for this event. I am in Walhalla, about 8 miles from Oconee Nuclear Station and the soundings are razor thin at best. I exppect a sloppy mess at best and plain rain at worst. Looking at the soundings the slightest tick up in temps may allow us to have some sleet mixed but that may be it

I'm not buying it or discounting it. 

You can already see the R/S line on the CC radar saggingn south on the NC/SC border. I do believe it will be snow for the northern half of Oconee/Pickens/Greenville when the heavy rates get here.  

I am not certain if our surface temps will be cold enough for it to stick, but if we get 2 inch per hour rate this afternoon that will stick regardless of surface temps.(and crash surface temps to 32/33 even if they're at 40 before the rates pick up.)

NWS in MHX playing up the 264 corridor.....

 

.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/...
As of 320 AM Thurs...Winter Storm Warnings are now in effect for
much of the area, with Winter Weather Advisories continuing for
the rest of Eastern
NC except for Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands,
as confidence has increased on a more widespread moderate snow
event with snow totals of 4-6 inches expected generally north of
the Neuse River and then spreading east to the Alligator River.

With some mesoscale banding expected to develop in this area,
locally heavier snow amounts of 6-10 inches are possible.

Further to the south and east, initially warm temps both aloft
and at the surface will limit snow totals as the changeover to
snow will be delayed until 10 pm or midnight (There could be a
few hour period of sleet along and south of US 70 early
tonight). Still amounts of 1-2 inches are expected with some
locally higher amounts of 2-4 inches possible.

I'll take that I'm right on Highway 74 and Highway 1 in Rockingham.

Some good news. 06z 3km NAM is too far north with the warm nose. It had it all the way up to near asheville at 10am . CC radar comfirms it's already crossing the NC/SC border and heading south.

 

12zz 3km NAM has fixed this issue, shows the warm nose much further south at 10am.

Someone just posted snowing steadily at lake Toxaway just on the otherside of the border.

Looks to heading south.

Yes but we just got completely blanked in the upstate. Absolutely no accumulation along 85.
