Wintry February 6th-7th

I had forgotten about this threat after the models went to hell in a handbasket. In shock seeing tonight's trends.
Yeah quick mover but will probably be heavy if the models verify.
 
Sat night storm just keeps looking better and better for Upstate and NC. Much more agreement on winter weather between the models.

I think the GFS is looking good for upstate I don’t like how far north and amped the Nam is though

SHORT TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 230 PM EST Thursday: Following Friday afternoon`s frontal
passage, a broad sfc high builds in underneath a boring 500mb
pattern on Saturday. With the last of the clouds associated with
the frontal band clearing out overnight, we can expect a few hours
of clear skies and decent insolation, before height falls from a
northern stream trough crossing the Appalachians and a plume of
low-level moisture allow clouds to build back in and reinvigorate
CAA. Meanwhile, a southern stream trough is facilitating the
development of a coastal low over the deep south, which tracks along
the stalled frontal boundary and off the Atlantic coast by Sunday.

Sunday night, especially in the hours after midnight, will be
our best chance for winter precip, but the models still aren`t
handling the system very well and thus there remains a fair bit
of uncertainty regarding impacts. The Canadian and European
models bring the jet stream a bit farther south, and that dry
air is keeping the precip chances farther south; the GFS and
NAM are trending wetter and bringing the higher PoPs north into
the Carolinas. GFS and NAM also agree on the formation of a
deformation zone in the early morning hours Sunday, which ramps
up chances of wintry precip. GFS soundings look more snow-like,
where the latest run of the NAM has an elevated warm nose with
a deep subfreezing layer stretching from the surface to as high
as 800mb. Both models are trending towards better moisture into
the predawn hours, which could allow precip chances to linger for
longer than previously expected. In any case, light accumulations
are possible in the mountains, but it`s too soon to make an accurate
assessment of ice accums or wintery precip outside the Appalachians.

Chris justice isn’t very optimistic at all. He said no accumulation in the upstate. Only accumulations will be in the mountains. Should I go to Maggie valley Saturday night?

They never get optimistic until the day before it happens. They have burned themselves too much
