That HRRR run is all I need for where I'll be in Marshall County.
The clear trend so far today has been a less pronounced warm nose

I just spoke to a contractor of mine there and he said they currently have 4" of the snow, 33 degrees, and heavy snow falling. He said it started with a mix and has turned to all snow.
Seems that HRRR keeps trying to cut north, but as it gets closer, it keeps correcting south. Likely we continue to see a cooling trend on HRRR in extended range.

Oconee special on the Hrrrrrr!
Interesting the change over to sleet is brief then changes back to heavy snow. Wild looking scenario for sure

My guess is that the nam will be relatively similar to 12z and the fall closer in line with other models at 0z. I’m mainly interested in precip. amount trends.
REMINDER! We are all excited, but please refrain from cluttering up this thread with giddy posts that don’t add to the discussion. Thanks!

Gfs and euro and Canadian all have shown that last few runs, snow to sleet then almost a def band back to snow
.5 - 1.5" per hour rates out of that band in TX.
RAH just issued a WSW!

Wow so maybe Columbia SC could see snow drought come to an end. What do you guys think for the midlands of SC?
I-20 North. Better as you get into the Northern Midlands.
As usual, CAE proper gets crap.
I can't wait to move away from this state in the next year or so, lol.

Hrrr precip totals...clear trend toward a lot of precip for ga and the upstate. Alabama is cooking lol

Not sure I want the FFC forecast for ZR to verify. 0.35 across the CAD areas after snow is going to be a huge power issue.
Look at the cooling over the midlands of SC

Will be interesting to be in some of those heavy bands come early morning tomorrow. Wouldn't mind hearing a clap of thunder too!

Yea, Kffc seems to be leaning away from Mr. super conservative Cook. We'll know more when the precip gets into Ala. I still think I get a pretty good sleet out of this, with a few inches of snow and a nice zr crust. Hopefully not enough to crash the trees. Been there too many times and don't like it. Sleet, sleet, sleet...

Winter storm warning for a good portion of north central NC
Look at those sleet totals back in southern Arkansas. 3.5-4”. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that much sleet modeled.

NAM running, still looks like it's on another planet in terms of thermal handling. It immediately jumps the verification to warmer ptypes.
Latest snow/ice accumulations from FFC:
Either it's on to something or we're about to see more snow/sleet accumulations in AL/GA/SC/NC.

Man if we can get the Hrrr to just tick colder one more time at 700mb then the upstate is easily all snow for the whole event. We're able to fight off any warm nose around 850mb from the residual cold pool. Just need that crest of that 750-800mb nose to tink one tiny click south.
I don’t think so, models have been trending colder for CAE Shawn. It look more possible that the central midlands could see a thump with that band.

That’s what they say will accumulate. How much will actually fall because their numbers don’t match some of these juiced up precipitation maps lolLatest snow/ice accumulations from FFC:
The local office says the HRRR is too warm and it's basically ignored.
I am not surprised to see it 2F cooler than it's previous run.
A thump of half an inch of snow and sleet and then over to ZR up to 1/4 inch.
Meh.
Let me know how 500mb and the track of the low supports a surprise 1-2 inch+ event in CAE and get back to me.

It's snowing where the NAM has rain right now. I have 0 understanding on this model and just want to see how absurd it gets. Still a mess on it at hour 12. Hour 3 literally has rain in S AR.

Also, I kept thinking precip totals would go up along the escarpment of SC b/c the flow starts ripping out of the SE at 925mb Friday evening. There has to be some orographical enhancement with that. You can see it helps to adiabatically cool that layer as well already on the models
Let’s rage

Looks like 2013 + snow on top. Not sure the setup for that much ice exists.Latest snow/ice accumulations from FFC:
The NAM is on its own island with this system so far. That's all I need to know. Now, if it fits someones else's narrative, they will argue until they are blue in the face.
37F/15F Here right now.

North of 85/40 in NC, it should be noted the dews are so low that it is desert dry and will take a while to overcome the virga as the levels of the atmosphere have to saturate. Could see it snowing on radar for a couple of hours with nothing hitting the ground. From GSO west, I think how ever much falls will be 90% sn and the rest IP
