February 19-20 Major Winter Storm Threat

It didn't look like nothing here on the Canadian.

At H5 the trends are for a weaker shortwave and less interaction with the northern stream. If it weakens too much it will be light snow at best except for maybe NE NC and SE VA with the weak coastal.

I feel good as long as the Euro looks good. Canadian looks good. GFS is more ice, but I'd rather have the Euro on my side.

Canadian was almost all snow here. GFS was colder. Don’t let the negativity from those who’ve lost 15” of digital snow fool you, this keeps looking better for the triangle

I mean given our standards, a 4-6” storm would feed families while they’re only happy if it’s an 18” once a decade system 

Agree 100%! A 4-6” late Feb storm in La Niña at RDU would be a rarity.

RDU La Niña 4”+ snows Feb 15-28:

2/16/1996: 5.6”

2/23-4/1989: 4.2”

2/17-8/1989: 4.9”

2/25/1894: 5.0”


GSO had 5.7” just after Feb (3/1-2/2009).

A weaker system may mean less QPF, but it also means better chance of snow for central NC...  vs. a strong system that pulls warm air into the mid levels

CNC would rather see a weak system 

True, weaker, but not nonexistent.  We need QPF.

Lol this is funny... the 0z GEFS actually looks much better than the OP.

Was just getting ready to mention they improved slightly over previous runs.  Also, it seems like every winter storm possibility has some model inconsistencies in this 4-5 day range. Weaker and more strung out, but as it gets closer they always seem to trend back NW and little stronger. The overall picture has not changed, there is energy coming and there is cold air available. Time will tell how it plays out, but going all in on one or two runs right now or throwing in the towel makes no sense when there are still so many solutions on the table.

Wilson needs 33 degree temps. Not more precip 

I just mean that the CMC shows a sweet spot for many, but further weakening is definitely on the table.  Don't want too much of a good thing.

Agreed. Sorry I took the Wilson take from your previous post. We definitely do not want a strung out mess. It just seems unlikely east of US 1 will see anything but ZR so more precip probably means bigger ice issues for you. That was the point of my post, if it’s cold enough I hope you get dumped on by snow/IP
