I honestly think the p-type algorithm from those model loops these guys post from it is off. I think it shows snow where it’s actually mixed precip a lot. I remember that being an issue in the January storm. I don’t think it’s an issue with the model itself.
We got a dusting of snow then quickly changed to sleet when the radar was depitcting snow. Did this several hours
 
Where can we see the GRAF? I know it’s hard to find unless your a tv station but I’ve seen some posts about it
It's only available from them. It's a news station thing. Now I am sure someone out there has access somehow. But Danial Bonds out of CAE is fantastic about showing it.

Yeah, my understanding is that it is a private venture where they keep the data and output proprietary and then license it out to news stations (and maybe other vendors?) for a profit, so no way for us common folk to see it, for better or for worse. But like you said Bonds seems to share it a lot, though it would be nice to see lore of the data underlying it since I think the P-type algorithms might be off.
 
Uk is probably gonna remain with less QPF knowing how it handles lower QPF situations, but if it comes back I’ll be surprised
Yeah, to me it looks like it’s going to be better than the last couple runs, but I don’t think it’s going to be nearly as good as the other modeling.

EDIT: Yeah, pretty ugly run, LOL. Probably better than 06z, but a miss is a miss. I know this supposedly plays into its bias, but I’d rather it not be skunking us, especially when it was a big hit yesterday.
 
The upstate and foothills seem like there is no way to score here. Temps will be 34-35, with warm soil temps. This feels like some fat flurries Wednesday and that’s it. With such little QPF, higher rates will be very hard to find unless we get very lucky.
 
The UKMET was way too far south with the last big event in DC-BAL earlier this winter in a similar overall setup. Expecting that to be the case here too
Yeah the 12z Ukie didn't get the memo lol. I stand by my statement that qpf will not be an issue, especially eastern 2/3 of NC
 
UK is like the UNC Tarheels of modelling...gets a lot of hype, ranked high but sucks and loses at game time.

I'd still take this...0.5" of snow...0.5" more than Raleigh has had in over 5 years in a Feb.

its really keying in on that Deform on backside back west though through foothills

Amounts are different, but the snowfall footprint looks somewhat similar to the Euro, Canadian,12z RGEM fwiw

One thing I hate about transferring and coastal development is having to wait for precip to "blossom". Easier when you have a precip shield moving in
Yeah….I would think it has higher bust potential one way or the other, too.
 
Isnt UKMET a precursor to the EURO ? or is that not a thing anymore ? I mean we preach EE Rule when it works for us, if EURO is a mirror image at 1PM shouldnt we treat the same ? I mean it cant be the EE rule only when it benefits us

EE Rule is the Euro-ETA (the NAM) when they agree within 48 hours and honestly probably hasn’t been a real thing in years, just a meme.
 
Beautiful snow hole on the UKMET. RDU gets fringed and even Moyock only gets a few inches. We toss!

It’s got a few ULL stringers in SC.

If that flow behind it comes in at the correct angle someone on the lee side is getting an inch or two

Wrong.... that's not the EE rule..... ETA and Euro is the EE rule.
 
Yep, the Euro is not worse, finally. Maybe a tick better with qpf over the upstate. Same overall footprint as GFS/AIFS... now we just need to trend a little wetter in the finally 48hrs and I bet we will, considering all the cams/hi res models are way wetter...
 
Euro dried out east of the mountains for sure
