Even the Ol Apple App is backing off on 77 Corridor …. Said 90% yesterday and 7-10” now 4-5” and nothing Thursday anymore

Weird CAD look with this storm. Deep Ice into SE NC but doesn’t dig deep into SC.

Edit. It does like the Pee Dee of SC with some models.
It will probably trend a little stronger as it comes in view of the short range and hi res models.
 
I can never tell if Ross has a level of sarcasm and troll to him like me or if it’s his actual analysis …. But I like it lol

not trolling, just been reading hemingway. enjoy using 7 words to say what others can in 50 :)

It was 24 hours ago 🤣 Euro had 10+ over us. Now 3 or 4 if lucky. NW trend come back 🤞
i don't know if the euro monsters will verify for you and that's ok. euro is a great model but i think it's overdone some storms this year. the theme (wave turning into coastal development) is unkind for your neck of the woods. i could see some enhancement with cad flow around your neck of the woods but frankly i forgot wytheville's tendencies (i used to live in and forecast for bluefield). weaker/flatter trend does not help you. if i were to offer encouragement, we've done pretty good at pulling northwest trends out of our back pocket when all looked lost this year- certainly after i had thrown dirt on things. but point remains- don't think this is your storm

9 times out of 10 there is a NW trend so I am not concerned just yet. Just means the difference between 3 or 4 inches and 8 or 9 inches.
 
No change from me, still thinking ice Charlotte to Raleigh and someone will see ice storm. This was never a big dog for the mtns&foothills, it’s always been 1-3” or 3-6” with punches of warm nose sleet. We should know more tonight as the current system will have cleared overhead. Would be nice to see bigger than 6” snow storm but too much in the “it will go wrong” category past week.
 
In Miller A's those are often the screw zones. I said a couple days ago that this favors the northeastern part of the state
Miller A's have traditionally produced the biggest snowstorms for WNC and Western Va. WNC and Western Va are usually not in a screw zone unless the storm is weak or tracks far to the south. This particular storm may indeed favor the NE part of the state. There have been so few Miller A storms lately anyway.
 
GFS continues to be the least impressive while the Canadian and Euro look to be the most impressive in regards to snow versus ice for central NC. I know I feel better with the Euro on my side.

I thought only Miller B’s Transferred over Upstate / 77 to Coast like this? Miller A’s I thought were one solidified Low That just moved NE up the coast? Honestly asking not disputing.

Despite RGEM ptype maps showing sleet, RGEM soundings are clearly snow all hours at RDU (hr 81 got close, but would be mostly snow). P.S. Certainly dangerous (unwise) to be analyzing RGEM soundings at the end of the run, but for now, it's all we've got as a first look at thermals. RGEM most likely too cold at the surface, but our biggest concern is aloft.

Dude, that’s just so beautiful. Good rates, 23F, below freezing through the whole column. Really starting to like where we’re sitting now. May not be as big of a QPF bomb but that was always going to result in more ZR/IP, anyways.
