Pattern December Dud đź‘€

Drought Buster Week;
Some of us gonna net close to 4 inches qpf before the end of this week. Once these winter big rains unfold, the ground/yard/ Pasteur/golf course stays wet till late Feb, regardless how many days of sun. Unless its frozen
Depends on the wind. It dries ground up pretty quick if we get winds like we have had last couple of winters. Definitely helps us when trying to work
 
NWS only forecasted a tenth of an inch:

Most Gauges western Piedmont .30+

This one in Greensboro about to top half inch mark

SOUTH BUFFALO CREEK AT US 220 AT GREENSBORO, NC0.140.230.380.490.490.490.490.492024-12-09 07:55:00

EURO is right there with Canadian for onset ice late this weekend. Nice 1047HP will suffice.

RAH is not saying much (details), except to confirm the possibility of CAD for the weekend.

<<<last paragraph of long-range discussion>>>>>
"Our next system appears to be associated with a shortwave trough
situated near the central Plains Sat and the sliding generally
eastward with time over the weekend. Although the 00z GFS and Euro
are in relatively good agreement, this appears to be exception to
the rule as EOF H5 patterns show a considerable amount of variance
related to timing as well as amplitude of this feature, resulting in
low-forecast confidence on this next system. Depending on the
timing, given the initial favorable location of the surface high over
the Northeast, a classic or perhaps hybrid CAD pattern may develop
over the weekend into early next week."

Us eastern Piedmont folks don't like hybrid CAD setups. Not enough cold air. For the western Piedmont / foothills areas, this may work (as shown on the Canadian). Maybe we can trend that NE high westward some and build the classic (strong) CAD setup.
 
Blacksburg has mention of FZ for precipitation late Sat> Sunday for the ROA area but also mentions milder filling in. Yesterday, snow showers were mentioned for Wednesday but that is now all rain.
