The 6z ICON provided a substantial hit to RDU and GSO. The diurnal timing is great w/ the heaviest precipitation and snowfall occurring in the overnight hours.

6z GGEM also likes northwest NC and southeast VA. The GGEM was much further north yesterday with this potential.

Awesome way to start the day by see this post first thing. Hope the Icon is onto something and we end winter with a big dog.

If only that monster CAD modeled for Tuesday was going to be in play for this storm lol.

One reason I stopped going to the race there in March and just go to the fall race. The weather there this time of year is just too unpredictable.

Not sure how much I buy no precipitation falling SE of the far NW piedmont, virtually every other NWP model is on board w/ some hydrometeors reaching the ground in the Triangle and even areas further SE

Ah okay my bad, yea that’s not a bad look for RDU and GSO in general. If there’s enough lift in this elongated frontogenetical band we could dynamically cool the column to produce heavy wet snow which is what other models like the ICON depict. The CMC was blasting DC just a few runs ago and was last to the punch to catch onto this more suppressed storm track that other models were already on board with.
If you guys could convince that monster cad to shift this thing south by about 25 miles, I’d appreciate it very much. Thanks!

I decided to pull the trigger on the storm thread on this day 3 threat, I think there’s enough support for this atm along/north of HWY 64 to render it legit, if it busts oh well it’s been a good winter here

We’re gonna keep this gravy train rolling right into early April. Guess we’re headed straight to summer this year

Maybe we can have a non-summer to go with our non-spring too.

Cool air sounds good, just no more snow! Lol
Full sun and 49 on the car thermometer at noon on March 22 gotta love it
There is no such thing as a non-summer in the south. The coldest summers are still very hot.

Not true at all! Look up “ year without as summer” in the US
Looks like another shot at severe wx late next week

That El-Nino several summers back in which we stayed in the low to mid 80s all summer wasn't that hot. Probably a rarity and location though. I'm sure it was hot down in ATL.
You are probably referring to 2013. The coolest summer I remember was 2003. I think that year ATL only hit 90 a handful of times.
What makes you suggest this?

48 degrees at 1:24pm after a high of 47 yesterday. I got down to 26 this morning.
38 degrees under full sunshine at 235 pm after a low of 20.

What a wedge on the Euro. A 20 degree difference for ATL from 0Z to 12Z.

Day 8-10 is quite the pattern. To bad it's April.
Another morning in the upper 20s, bottomed out at 29.2 this morning! That's about 10 degrees below the average for my location according to wundergrounds averages, felt quite nice though to be honest. Rebounded nicely into the middle 50s this afternoon under full sunshine! An absolutely stunning afternoon for sure!

The ECMWF keeps the Carolinas in this CAD dome for a mind boggling 5 days in a row next week. I guess I didn't get the memo we were being annexed into Seattle.

Oddly I'm with you. If this was Feb I'd be happy, but this is getting ridiculous. It's like we ordered a burger and got half the restaurant and are expected to pay for it. We just wanted to leave winter and call it one, but the stream of cold keep coming. Only bright side is lack of severe weather it produces. I didn't think I'd see the day the GFS has icing in late March or all the models having a monster wedge either, but it looks like it could happen.

We will lose the Eastern trough in June, and it will stay gone until next March!
Love cold Aprils... bring it on... don't want to see a 90 until June.
How far are temperature BN or AN is GSP for the month of March so far?
-1.9 according to Nowdata.
I would be fine not seeing a 90 all summer.

18z is aiming to please Showing me a path of a ull I've seen work twice in the last 10 or 15 years. I'm all for some melting as it falls April Fools snow, lol. For me that last gasp of cold weather is the weekend at the Masters, so there is time for that springtime mental torture that's a mix of exhilaration and depression all at once, as you watch melting snow fall, and vanish except for the last two or three inches. Had another tick on me today, and was batting mosquitoes the other evening, before the front. I miss the old days when the south got winter too, not just the northern tier.

Bring on the cool Spring weather, I want to keep the 90s away for as long as possible or better yet can we just have one Summer where we never reach 90 or above? That would be great.
All of the Mets in B'ham have already mentioned a "vigorous system that will need to be watched for severe weather" during this time period, and now we have a thread.
