Wintry January 3rd-6th, 2018 Winter Storm The ARCC/Xtreme Weather Special

Looks like Columbia SC does better than RDU this run. Wow things just got weird.

A true 1973 redux!

That LP placement and precip makes no sense

 

[ForsythSnow]

I feel that the models are confused about the precip throw. The NAM this run had a noticeable dry nose aloft over the Florida Panhandle, and it is a big difference from the previous runs.

Precip goes poof when it gets to the triad. Convection robbing moisture? No Bueno

The slp is jumping around in the Atlantic like a TC trying to develop a llc...

That is the thinnest backside precipitation for a 973mb storm you will ever see.

Exactly! That kind of low would make me think there's MUCH more precip and it goes close to central NC.

NAM might have hit the bar at lunch.

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

It’s the models meeting in the middle. That’s what they usually do.

Wish 'Canes would behave that way ...
Actually, very skeptical on that backside prog ...too much energy ...

There's some similarities, but still not quite.

Check your soundings & dew point for areas that precip goes "poof". It's dry! Here in Lexington, we barely get moist enough to end as some light snow.

Very dry dew points!

Shawn, it's ok to be positive. I know it's hard.

 

[Rain Cold]

I wish Webber or 1300m would come in and tell us all it will be ok.

Ride the 3k NAM to glory folks or off the glorious cliff... but this precip shield at least matches up to th slp fwiw

A lot of that blue stuff well inland, is evaporating. and that is why some charts look so different from others. Virga!

I'm just trying to let people know why the snowfall maps may not show much of anything for some

3k NAM puts down about an inch of snow in center city Charlotte. Has a dusting back as far west as Gaston county and far SE tip of Cleveland county. This run jackpots Georgetown to Florence

I was wondering what the deal was with the precip extending so far West on the Pivotal site.

Youre in a good spot man for sure
