NorthHillsWx Posted Wednesday at 02:20 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 02:20 PM Watch the area of precip blossom south of Raleigh. Those showers are from the back of of the coastal starting to form. That will become the fronto band AKA Raleigh’s storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted Wednesday at 02:22 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 02:22 PM Just now, Brick Tamland said: GFS just happens to be the one with the best totals, too. I think the difference is the boost of precip from the gulf moisture. That extra .10 if realized could go a long way. Radar trends are positive imo. Lots more returns and precip than some of the dryer solutions west of us. I think if we just get the coastal we’re good for 1-3” but any additional precip can jack those totals up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted Wednesday at 02:28 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 02:28 PM Lots of mping reports showing flurries in wake county. That’s a good sign with extremely light returns that we won’t waste much valuable QPF on Virga. Almost triple the dewpoint from where we started with the late January system too. Precip looks to be blossoming on schedule in the southern piedmont. Look for how west that sets up as to how far west the best banding I’ll get. Chapel hill/Durham obviously need it as west as it can get and any extra westward expansion helps Raleigh Great sign seeing the snow in foothills. A lot of models kept them completely dry through the morning 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, they have been spot on, unless you are closer to the Blue Ridge. Only McDowell and Caldwell counties reporting any snowfall that I have seen.

And N GA was completely dry on those models and that is not the case. Any extra moisture we can buy helps. Like the banding showing up over wake on some of the CAMS. Could be some good rates north of the mix line. Officially flurrying here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowDawg Posted Wednesday at 02:34 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:34 PM 12 hours ago, SnowDawg said: 33/26.4 NAM and HRRR initialized 5-10 degrees too warm. Doesn't really matter overall given moisture will likely be the issue here, but at least maybe none will be wasted on rain. Guess I jinxed myself here. Currently 37.2 and raining.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being it just started snowing here I don’t think we’re going to make it any warmer. Only 30 right now. I had been concerned we’d slip above freezing but that seems unlikely with snow building in on radar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed a more mature CAD back this far SW to help force that low level dry air in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
