Western cutoff is going to be brutal. It’s not like the southern/weaker trends are done. If anything, they’re picking up steam. NYC was here two days ago, the MA fell yesterday. Richmond went down this morning. We’re holding the line but that’s not where you want to be given everything I’ve seen. EURO has cut 1” of QPF here since yesterday morning. If current modeling was accurate I’d go 2-4” for Raleigh with a jack of 6-8” near Elizabeth city. But given the trends, that 2-4” could fall to TR by the end of the day and I almost expect it to 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Everyone slow down with the pessimism. The models are coming into great agreement now that more accurate data can be fed in. This always happens. I expect the large shifts to end and expect models will be rebound slightly the other direction as they come into focus. The last system was barely 1-2 for most of Wake and was still high impact... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its depressing how much models can get right but yet oh so wrong within a week. . I mean this is the 3rd storm this year that’s done the exact same thing. What a way to waste a -5 AO and +PNA for the east coast. Still holding out hope for central/eastern NC but foothills, upstate and western VA are beyond life support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Soil temperatures are fine. The high today and tomorrow will barely reach 50, if that. The low tonight is 29 and the low tomorrow night is even colder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree for central/eastern NC but if it’s just the coastal and no WAA I really don’t think areas west of there have much chance of anything beyond nuisance snows or mood flakes. This could still be a big event and to your point it could just be honing in on the sweet spot but to me the boom scenarios have come way down and the bust, even in central NC, is literally no QPF. Maybe I’m wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one more negative post and then I'm done being negative. In the triad, if you exclude sleet for the 2022 storm, we have not had a 3"+ snowstorm in over 6 years. During the 2010s Greensboro had 12 3"+ daily snowfalls. I would happily have zero snow a couple years and then get a nice solid 3-5" snowfall, but we can't even seem to manage that after finally breaking the drought. I still think it's possible we break 3", but seems like a long shot at the moment 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I would be fine with 2 or 3 inches in Raleigh to be honest. The 6z OP run of the GFS was actually an improvement in snow totals here with a little less mixing. The question I am debating is do I want to chase somewhere in northeastern NC/southeastern VA for the bigger totals? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackGrad05 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I was getting ready to post that the EPS still showed a mighty nice hit for central NC. Much better than anything we've had in 3-4 years at this range. Now that high res models are coming into range, we should get a better look. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I’d miss that given how rare snow has become here to chase 6-8” somewhere else. If those totals beef up to double digits NE of here, maybe I’d chase regardless what Raleigh got 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 The storm isn’t lost, it’s just squashed like an ant under your shoe. You’re just seeing a surface reflection of what happens when your northern stream dominates like the 96 bulls. We’ll watch for ticks in the positive direction in the upper levels but for now, anyone west of RDU is getting CPR. Between RDU and the coast….watch out. Sweet spot is going to possibly end up where the ponies play (Currituck). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise if we do get 2 or 3 and a little ZR that could end up quite photogenic here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the point there aren’t terribly many examples of similar fails in that timeframe with a predicted major storm. WPC is usually conservative and even they honked the horn early based on the amazing model consensus we had. But weather is gonna weather, it’s why we’re here. If the 96 hour EURO was right everytime this wouldn’t be as fun. Eventually we’ll get one that tends positively for the forum. With all the negativity, central and eastern NC are still looking at a significant snow. It could die later but for now this is far from dead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
