Wintry ❄The Christmas Miracle❄(12-24/12-25)

[RVD]

Scrolling through radar tilts from KRAX reveals a good amount about how well precipitation is reaching the ground in central NC. To be honest, this isn't too bad. A lot of these bands (especially to the SE) change only a little with height, which is a good sign (coupled with mPing reports in the last ~30 min) that these are reaching the surface. The bands further north are more virga, but as instability builds and our upper level trough approaches this afternoon, that almost certainly will not last.

Congrats to all who have seen flakes so far!

Geez imagine later when we steepen low level lapse rates and increase 0-3km cape

All hail the HRRR! As I’ve said previously, low level dry air doesn’t mean jack in convective environments like this esp when it’s not even that dry to begin with or a very deep layer.

Walterboro, after a tornado warning last night, legit saw a flizzard this AM.

Are the coverage of these snow showers expected to widen as the cape increases?

It seems like the older runs are verifying better as they had that band around the NC/SC border south of Charlotte around this time

My WNC folks...I am going to bring my son up to see some snow today. We are coming from Northern Greenville county and we are maybe 20 minutes from Flat rock and 30 from Hendersonville. Do you guys know if certain areas jackpotted more than others and where the best places to go would be? Thanks in advance!
