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

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

Both the 3k and 12k had hardly any snow in the foothills.

Yes. 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!

Any idea which model looks most like the radar now?

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 

Yeah, for one you guys have much better dewpoint depressions to work with than I did. Needed a more mature CAD back this far SW to help force that low level dry air in.
