Think we could get some flakes down into the northern ATL burbs. Feels like sometimes these events can overperform a bit before they dry up around I-20

NWS GSP says...
Clouds will definitely break containment and spread southeast across
the area overnight. Given the strength of the forcing and very low
ice crystal growth zone, flurries or even light snow showers will be
possible across the foothills and Piedmont of NC and maybe into York
County. Can`t rule out a flurry farther west, but no significant snow
expected over NE GA and most of the Upstate. With lows falling into
the low to mid 20s, snowfall rates could briefly become high enough
for a light dusting in grassy or elevated surfaces. If this does
occur, amounts will be less than half an inch. Best timing for snow
would be midnight to 4 AM. Gusty winds will develop overnight as
well and linger into Tuesday morning. Clouds will quickly scatter
out tuesday morning. Highs will be in the low to mid 40s.

Given how this event has been (over)performing upstream, the pronounced and discrete low-level forcing mechanisms in place here & the cold air temperatures, it's almost a given that some lucky folks east of the mountains are going to see some light snow accumulation out of this.
Gonna make a map for this event ?
21z obs. Hrrr is low on dews but nam3 is a touch high

Jack - can you share the link to this obs map?
Euro AI remains steady with its output (12z is latest run here)
Click surface maps, then click on the “NC” on the second map.Jack - can you share the link to this obs map?

If this thing even slightly overperforms, rush hour is gonna be an absolute mess in Charlotte tomorrow. Ground temps are cold and it’ll stick efficiently.
Drew this before synoptic class today, interested to see if upstream over performance translates to higher localized totals, more widespread precip, or both

Yeah lol I-77 is already a disaster on a clear morning
Looks like the globals are making some last minute adjustments 
Seems like the hrrr is drying up for areas west the closer it gets only to correct the hour of
