confidence wise there is winter storm watch for all counties that border Raleigh NC up into Virginia. Elsewhere is too soon to know. Nail biter for Charlotte could see near zilch or advisory. 50/50 but I would lean against atm.

00z UKMet looks similar to the GFS to me, but it's hard to tell specifics on the early maps. It's a slider, that's for sure
lol the triad is drooling 
You know I don't usually try to get into these little petty discussions like this but my post stated amounts increased and the footprint basically unchanged. Yeah amounts did increase slightly into SC and maybe you end up with a foot but look at those totals in upstate SC they go from .4 to .5 and notice in Ga they go from light amounts to nothing, so it's not this noticeable further west expansion with each run. It's just one model run anyway
Well here it is, a trend following its OP as well

NAM is the only one that really makes the triangle sweat. Overall though nice trends for most today. A general footprint from CLT to RDU to SE Virginia is looking great. Maybe a little sleet mixing in se of there but overall a significant winter storm for central and western nc is coming

Uhhh that’s definitely a progression of snow further west and southwest ……

Going to be a brutal cutoff somewhere west of Raleigh.....right now it looks close to I 77.....typically with true Miller A's the cutoff is soul crushing.....

Footprint is still the same.. which is what he stated. General footprint of heaviest snow is in the exact same spot.
We still have a solid 3 days of model suits. I wouldn’t coin it “trends” cause a 50-75 mile shift east or north could shut anyone out here below Virginia. There’s a fine line we are walking with advisories vs none vs warnings. The precip shield and amounts may not be known until 36hrs out!

Yes general footprint is the same. I’ve not said the heavier snow would be further west compared to where it is now. I’ve said there would be snow further west than what is being depicted. I promise nobody is trying to take Raleigh’s snow away lol

RGEM shifted totals NE, not NW... I guess more amping doesn't always mean it trends NW

I keep seeing people mentioning, looks good for a winter storm for central NC to VA… are we all looking at the same models? or choosing to be selective. It appears to me that this also could be a devastating ice storm for the Midlands and Pee Dee of SC.

Yeah really its the perfect phase for central and eastern NC.....you can see the phasing actually tucks the 850's in much better probably giving everyone even better ratios thus increasing totals...great run for us.
The NW trend on the gefs ? I’m still more concerned about a warm nose then suppression

NE NC and SW Virginia are sitting in the sweet spot regardless of most situations. Unless the entire thing just went to hell in a hand basket. That is definitely one thing I’ll agree on. I’d be worried about the inevitable warm nose up that way potentially but that area definitely is sitting perfect as of right now
Something don’t sit right with both OPs south of there respective ensemble suites with the snow
