For central NC folks...it looks like heaviest precip sould be between 5pm and 11pm.

Pretty good timing with this coming in mostly just after dark. We'd lose a lot of accumulation to melting from sun angle/soil temps/above freezing 2m temps with the snowfall during the day. It would be one thing if temps were in the mid 20s, but with near freezing temps the sun angle would cause more harm.

Same here in Chastain Park area. ITP really seems to be in a cold pocket. No way we hit mid 40s barring some unforeseen WAA.

We’re at 39 in Social Circle. High earlier this mng was 41. You can feel/hear the wedge. outside. Maybe it overperforms wsnow cover beginning ito our East.

It seems like this is a little slower than model progs so wonder if that's helping to shift things south.

 

[Brick Tamland]

Last minute NW shift, per par?

Part of the reason I thought the heaviest snow in NC would be from Wake northeast into VA

[Gusmalaka]

39 and rain in mocksville

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Interesting pocket (sleet) south of the current transition line

 

[Webberweather53]

It’s a sleet fest here in Charlotte

 

[campamy]

Finally started legit snowing here for the last 20 min, but the rates haven't been consistent at all. Nothing sticking anywhere and not heavy enough to overcome the wet and warm ground

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

HRRR might be on to something with that thin finger of heavy snow extending from the southern upstate through Charlotte later

 

[BackThePack]

Really surprised how much factor sun angle has become in the play out of this storm

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

Per CC and latest HRRR, this area might get interesting in a little bit

 

[tucker]

Finally a heavy mix in Chattanooga

 

[KyloG]

It’s a sleet fest here in Charlotte

Sure looks like weathernerds HRRR depiction is close. Has CLT snow between 3-4pm.

 

[Sctvman]

46/43 in CHS. Rain has just started

 

[drfranklin]

Yep you see any sleet out there yet

Won’t be long before snow reports start coming in further south around the piedmont of NC into the upstate of SC
