Wintry More SE Snow ? (1/16-1/18)

Like I said last night, the NAM has been trending towards a bigger deal for central/eastern NC. If we can keep this going a widespread 3-6" snow is possible in that area.
Would that include into Virginia or south of there just wondering?
 
Shane will you explain to me how this is a Miller A vs Miller B? I can take to Banter or other if necessary. Thanks!!!
Shane will do a better job of explaining I know.... but basically the precip generated to our west is from the Upper level energy that eventually spawns the coastal slp, there isn't a slp that rides inland and then transfers energy to a coastal which would be a miller b.
 
Man, awesome run. Hope the Euro keeps it up and the GFS comes around. But great trends for NC now.
No, just the Eastern third part of it. Western NC/SC and Ga look to be out of it and Central parts are on the back edge of it currently. This looks suspiciously close to the system that went through recently and just missed parts of Raleigh and in the Triad had a WWA and got nary a flake west of Burlington
 
This is a catch 22 if it does come west, then WAA gets involved in the Eastern part and if it stays East they would do fine but the Western sections would get virtually nothing at all. Really hard to get precip that stays snow over the bulk of NC/SC especially

IMO the low center won’t get anywhere close enough to the coast for WAA. This event lacks moisture which in the end will help more than hurt.

Appears to hold precip together better as it crosses the Apps with good re-development further west

You can access better maps on TT. Even the H5
 
Sitting in the "leeward side north GA hole zone" here in Athens. We can only hope for the band to hold longer and not dry out.

If that is true then the western areas will miss again

You could argue that there are some Miller B qualities to this system with the snow to our west the the coastal formation. However there really is no clipper low that transfers energy to a southeast coastal low. The SE coastal low spawns as the upper trough tilts/closes and the polar jet dives deep into the region and you get some enhancement from the subtropical jet. To me that makes the SE low independent from any original clipper low and a Miller A

ICON is looking better at 12Z...It's trying to rebuild the band across South Central AL/into GA at hour 72. Energy is further SW even compared to the NAM.

Yea icon looks good.. although precip type showing as rain for clt to start.
 
ICON has a nice band of moisture but keeps temps a lot more marginal for a lot of areas. Especially in SC
Oh yeah, we are supposed to hit 50 Tuesday . We will probably get plenty of moisture, and rain
 
Yeah precip isn't a problem at all on it, the problem is it looks like all rain after crossing the lake.
Well precip definitely was a problem at first and still in a way probably is until we get more and more trends for more coming in. Now we fight off temp issues.

It's odd, as the ICON is +9 on the GFS. The GFS would be workable (as in it'd go down in time) if there was precip and there isn't.
