Hrrr has intense snow bands over my area by 4z tommorow and I heard that the picture means heavier snow if I'm not mistaken ? Still learning

Not buying the nam. Almost every other model depicts at least a major sleet storm for upstate is not sleet and snow north of 85. I’m not saying nam isn’t right. But if it is no way upstate gets warning criteria winter weather. However I believe it’s wrong
 
I live in Greenville, SC - I see you are monitoring GSP radar - where are you located now? That's a fantastic vantage point!

We are in Maggie Valley....havent really found a radar thats giving me good results of overhead conditions....I think mainly due to the mountains. GSP gives me an idea of whats coming.
 
12Z NAM looks a little colder in mid levels compared to 6Z, still a lot of mixing in Piedmont regions

That's right. The area between the dashed lined is the DGZ (Dendritic Growth Layer). It's between -12 and -18C where snowflakes grow the more efficiently. The horizontal bars are omega, or upward motion. So seeing a max in upward velocity in the DGZ is a sign it'll be snowing pretty hard (if it's cold enough to support snow)
