Jumping towards KING ICON. Looks like the 12z ICON supports a snow to rain type scenario, as well, from the limited maps I have (hard to say for sure, though). Snow to rain seems like a decent call for us at this point, though his much snow we see before the changeover is anyone’s guess. Probably not much, but we can hope.
 
I think models are now locking in on the system, thermals and location.... problem is the vast majority of us on here can't afford any more NW shifts. I agree with @Myfrotho704_ probably a solid front end thump for some before a changeover

The Euro just isn't what it used to be. It feels like the new GFS picks up on trends faster. V16 had it consistently farther north and now every model caves to it....reminds me of the NC storm a week or so ago. Only one showing snow in NC, then every models eventually bends to it.
 
Not bad from RAH:

....Models continue to trend faster, with an earlier
precip arrival over the S and SE by late Sat, and they`re trending
closer to the coast with the low, tracking it very close to the
Carolina coast from Sat evening through Sun morning before it moves
NE and further away in the afternoon. Will speed up the arrival of
precip, with pops moving into S sections 21z-03z late Sat, followed
by pops peaking at likely SE and chance NW from late Sat evening
through Sun morning, before wrap-around precip departs the N
sections Sun afternoon. Regarding ptype, some raw model output shows
a swath of snow across the N and W sections, mainly N of Hwy 64 and
W of Hwy 1, focused on midnight Sat night to mid morning Sun. While
this is not out of the question, the surface temps will likely be
borderline for accumulations, and given the model inconsistency of
late especially with the NW extent of precip, will keep pops as
chance for now with a rain/snow mix and only a dusting to just under
a half inch of accumulation over the N Piedmont/far W Sat night/Sun
morning, with likely rain over the SE. Again, confidence is lower
than usual based on the model variability, but there does seem to be
an overall trend toward wetter (and whiter over the NW). Highs in
the mid 40s to low 50s and lows 30-36, although these high temps may
be optimistic (too warm).
