I think the best case scenario for the areas affected by Helene in this set up would be a snow-to-sleet event with the lower elevations getting the brunt of any possible ZR
Oh my goodness we might really be doing this. EC ai with a traditional CAD area winter storm now 
has a front end snow thump as well north of CLT into GSO

Enjoy the weather. It's the only weather ya got. Good times watching his videos in the early '00s. I did learn a lot about teleconnections.. always on the lookout for the Hawaiian traffic cop... trough E of HI, ridging in the SW ... just try to stick a cutoff ULL back there!

Usually when CAD is involved the mountains either get rain or snow, except the French Broad valley counties of Henderson and Buncombe. Those 2 counties can be nailed with ice. Another exception is right on the escarpment from northeast of Asheville up towards Sparta and West Jefferson. That area was NAILED just before Christmas of 2009 with one of the worst icestorms to hit NC in a long time. Luckily it was just in that 20-30 mile wide area.

I smell a flash freeze Sunday afternoon if that verifies

Do you have access to total ice?
This is one more tick away from a legit ice storm/IP event for more borderline CAD areas and a 40 paste job

Question for clarity, Atlanta is not in this storm correct for wintry precip right?

There’s still a lot of time for radical shifts. I wouldn’t count anything out yet. Conventional wisdom says this wave should trend further south and weaker.
Will really make me feel good about it if the gfs at least holds serve tonight if not adjust south some.

It wobbled north ~150m last run. If the press is on it will move south again. Otherwise it was trending towards other guidance. Not convinced of that just yet.

Throw out the MRF.. suppressed as usual
BTW, you can check out GG's usenet posts leading up to the '96 storm here: https://www.americanwx.com/bb/topic/61433-the-gary-gray-files-jan-96/
Gives real perspective on models starting only 4 days prior to the storm. The MRF was still suppressed!

S/W is actually ejecting east this run with more HPiGRXY

S/W sliding east, much better confluence and a stronger -NAO.
