Wintry 1/20 - 1/23 Winter Storm

Checking the HRRR soundings where it dry as the bands are consolidating and they support moisture falling through the column so I think this run is still too dry. And that’s saying something because we are extending bands back into Georgia now
 
I did too as soon at 00z euro last night, just due to 700mb trends and flow.. but you know; forgot i'm on webberwx dot com instead of southernwx
How does the 700mb and flow look on this run? The footprint of coverage looks good, but the precip totals look pretty meager, at least on the western flank.

I don't have great maps to be getting into specifics. I've just been looking at the free data I have and just taking the whole idea of more saturation = more moisture = models trending better for a westward expanse of precipitation. If someone wanted to post the maps and jets etc that'd be cool
 
Per Chris Jackson (South Carolina)

”Post coming by 10pm. Looking at the latest guidance coming in and the upper air balloon soundings from this evening.

For the Pee Dee my thoughts remain unchanged for the most part, but I’m currently leaning towards more impacts in the Midlands than I thought would occur yesterday.

Give me a bit to look over this pretty thoroughly and I should have something out by 10.

Sounding from mby, HRRR is likely underselling mesoscale banding/moderate snow bands and not showing them well, sounding easily shows lots of mid level lift/omega in the DGZ associated with the entrance of dCVA associated with the northern stream energy, this sounding easily supports moderate snow, another reason why amounts appear light under the snow band 0FAD8772-C77F-41EA-A0B3-8B107C9886DE.png
 
Was that the real low or just where the model placed the L?
Looking at surface map, so grain of salt. Answer both. Pressure was 1mb higher= weaker. Its so broad, but the bottom wasnt closed off on the isobar and extended way back west into florida. The whole spread out gyre moved west, sw.
Again this isn't how u verify.
