Wintry February 19-21, 2020 Winter Storm

cmc shifts back eastward with the precip, not as far west as 00z.

Right now this is where I see things setting up currently. I think ENC and NE SC look to be in the sweet spot for the highest accumulations and probability for snow. I think Northern Alabama, NE Georgia, the Upstate up to the I40 corridor look close for a decent winter storm. CAD areas look the best for those areas for snow as well. The midlands towards the coast will be interesting as well because if we get some extra cold air and CAD to extend into the northern midlands, then this could get very interesting for them as well. I think the moisture will cut off around I40 and the colder air will be cut off down towards I20.

I don’t normally agree with Brad P. but I do for this one. This isn’t it for his viewing area of the Charlotte metro. Or even Boone NC for that matter.
 
WYFF noon forecaster has 47 and rain for Upstate on Th. 40% chance of precip.

They clearly are leaning on Globals vs NAM.

That didn’t work out on last weeks “surprise snow”. Just wait till some of the other mesoscale models come into range.

For the record, the Euro last week may have read this through the tea leaves. We shall see.

That’s going to be pretty close to reality. I think there’s an outside chance we’re mostly dry though. That cold air behind the front is going to be pleasant ?
 
Here’s another panel, nice amounts of moisture, just meh SFC temps where 850s are cold enough, but dynamic cooling would probably take care of that like the NAM hints at

He’s been a metrologist for a long time. Based on his experience i would say

He ALWAYS leans conservative. Especially after he busted pretty bad here a couple of Decembers ago. I love Brad, but he won't budge until more modeling shows some general consensus. This look is too good to completely give up.
