Do you have the 12z run at the same frame to compare it too by chance?
 
Several have said it can't / won't make it back to ATL! This begs to differ. Hmmm

Most (if not all) of the precip showing up on the NAM composite reflectivity map over Alabama and western Georgia would be virga. 3-hour QPF only has a very small area of QPF in east Alabama at hour 21:

Here we go with the back and forth. Euro and the globals come west, NAM finally goes east. Too funny.

A lot of that is not reaching the ground, but I think people misunderstand me. I'm just looking out for flurries, if there are few areas where the column is saturated then, yes it's not out the realm of possibility to see flurries, again, not saying we're getting a snowstorm here.
 
The SREF reflected exactly what the NAM ended up ultimately showing. The SREF increased totals for SC and parts of GA and decreased them for NC and that's exactly what the NAM did.
 
Looks like the SREF got this prediction right...about the NAM going the wrong way. This reminds me of the old Nam, what I've been afraid to see. We get close to game time, and it being the best model for us (snow-wise) starts moving away.
 
So we have a stronger lp just offshore but less expansive precip... Ok. 12z and 18z

With the most recent model runs, I'm about to throw in the towel for the Greensboro area. I'll give it one more model suite before doing so. I don't think it's ever been in the cards for us, but I'll give it more set of model runs (0z) before giving up.
