I still can’t believe what I’m seeing with these maps. This is fantasy land stuff, inside 150 hrs.

This high and cold push is giving me vibes of last years storm. I’m hoping we don’t end up with snow in the panhandle of Florida and the NC crew is left out.

Avert your eyes North Georgia weenies. Gonna be hard to top this run moving forward 
A B xfer off MB. Perfect track
I mentioned this last night, but often the best storms for the northern GA and the western/central Carolinas follow this script. Model latch onto a storm signal, trend south up to 48-72 hours of an event and then correct north some leading up to go time. Also, and I’m sure Webb and others will mention this more in the coming days, but in an overrunning precip event like what is being depicted, moisture will be quite a bit more expansive to the north. than what’s being shown

Could this end up like 1973? Setup is probably way different, that is over my pay grade lol.
Sorry if this was already discussed...but the GFS AI has the baja low eventually come out and gives a followup at the end.
Kind of like Feb 2014...maybe I am confused on this one. But I do remember an event like this below.

remember...the models over do Freezing rain...so it would lately be sleet for some area but not depicted on here.

We can only dream of this scenario. I was not alive, but my parents still talk about the 14inches they got in Aiken, SC... This event looking to hand us a little freezing rain in reality.Could this end up like 1973? Setup is probably way different, that is over my pay grade lol.

This storm is feeling like a hybrid of January ‘88 and possibly Feb ‘73. ‘88 was all overrunning from west to east so more areas west were impacted. ‘73 was just a cold Deep South Miller A, although the recent AI GFS Kylo just posted brings this in as a possible desert.Could this end up like 1973?

All the models trended a bit too south with this last event before going back north. Not the same thing but it happens a lot.

Feb '73 had a low pulled deep out of the GOM and the NAO was positive. That was a very unique setup. Very different here.

right. but we have a very strong push of colder as the last system did not.
There was not a 1050mb high to keep it south with the last cold chasing moisture event
Get a leeside meso L to pop and it will go boom in WNC.

I grew up in MD, so in my experience up there, the GFS would go SE between days 4-6 then correct back north. Perfectly fine with the snow max being in SE NC at this stage. Will be a close call for us in the triangle but we’re in a solid spot right now
Obviously that’s always something to watch out for when we get into the CAM’s range
Going to need some help from the Baja low but not so much that this is a waa flood. The icon is a warning shot that a total miss might be problematic
Though I’d love to see that GFS run, this trending south and out of sight are the least of my worries. It trending south and colder is the positive takeaway - of course, I could be wrong

Is it possible this could trend further south and colder to completely get rid of the ZR so everyone gets either sleet/snow only?
January ‘88 also had some Lee side meso low enhancement. I was living west of Gastonia, recorded over a foot there with lollipops near 18 inches just west towards Shelby.

Ok folks. We are having to delete about a dozen posts every hour where you are wishing this thing north south more snow less icy BAM mad. Put that stuff in banter and leave this one for true discussion. Thanks!

Keep it trending south once again the NW Foothills will be out of this one as well

yes it could but we are 4 to 5 days out. you want a flatter solution (more like overcoming). we want this system not to be so amped so we can limted the WAA.

GEFS 18z with a more southern look, along with more cold air being filtered into the CAD.

Also, some have lost the privilege of posting in this thread today. Don’t add your name to the list.
Yup. Grew up in Forest City and had over 11" in that Storm. Still in the County.

Ok cool thanks for explaining that and your reply. Hopefully we can work it our that way in time so no one has to experience the ZR.
