DP is a bit high for anything I'd say. The wetbulb has been creeping SW with the wedge building in. The HRRR has some CAD areas in GA at or near freezing with the wetbulbs being around that too around the rain arrival time. I'm just going to watch hour by hour.

Lovely water vapor presentation. Imagine if we were in March. That area to the east of the dry air close to the center of circulation would be the place to be(or not be).
If that's the case I may drop lower than I first thought.

Little late reporting in, headed out to dinner with friends just as things were getting started here. Ended up with about 2.5 inches from that initial band. Everything is covered including the roads, 26 degrees now.
Heavy snow atm 34.4/29

Getting some clearing. Wonder if that can’t drop temps more. Winds fluctuating between N and NE at 5 mph

RAH 7pm update:
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 700 PM Saturday...
Update.
Band of light snow heading into the western part of the Triad,
including Winston-Salem and Lexington before 800 PM.
We are closely monitoring the band of WAA precipitation that is
currently moving ENE across the Mountains and into the Foothills and
western Piedmont. Thus far, the band has produced a period of around
0.10 of precipitation in 1 to 1.5 hours time. Asheville had a period
of moderate snow with visibilities of 1/2 to 3/4 mile for about an
hour. This allowed a coating on the ground. The snow has reached out
of the Blue Ridge into the Wilkesboro, Morganton, and Hickory areas
in the past hour, where all locations are reporting moderate snow
with visibilities near 1/2 mile. The transition line to sleet is
as far south as Charlotte, with rain reported just to the south of
Charlotte.
The line will be moving quickly ENE into the Triad shortly. Thus
far, it appears that the band has not weakened as the HRRR indicates
as it moves through the Triad. Unless it weakens shortly, it appears
that quick dusting to an inch of snow appears likely for much of
Davidson, Forsyth, Guilford, and Randolph counties in the next
couple of hours. The freezing level is nearly at the surface all the
way to Albemarle and Troy, thus some light snow/sleet can be
expected there, as well.
The temperatures were in the upper 30s at 700 PM. However, the wet
bulb readings were in the upper 20s. Therefore, just as what has
occurred at Asheville, Hickory, Morganton, Boone, etc... readings
will crash 5-10 degrees in an hour with the snowfall if the current
rates within the band hold as it moves through. This would quickly
coat some of the area bridges and overpasses with some slick spots.
