Better the further South and East you go. Hell, even Charleston goes over to heavy snow!

3K NAM looks good for RDU!
You got the frame that shows it right over SC? Sorry for bugging you budRide the 3k NAM to glory folks or off the glorious cliff... but this precip shield at least matches up to th slp fwiw

NAM seems like it's tightening the comma head as the SLP deepens...probably why there's less snow for RDU. Jackpot will still be I-95. Always has been.
Still snowing at this point in parts of Central and Northeastern North Carolina as well as Southeastern Va

My fear for the Triangle area is that there isn't any front end snow, and that the only precip we get is backside as it moves ENE away from the coast.
I think the accumulation map I posted covers that

I'm under a Winter Weather Advisory for up to two inches, but I'm concerned that some maps don't depict the precipitation making it this far west.

Looking forward to radar watching/nowcasting time. You have to have a certain kind of sinister heart to model watch. I haven't developed that yet. Its coming though

Lol. That's right over ARCC's houseMost (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:

The 3km was actually better than the 6z or 12z runs for RDU

Exactly! I will take that and run at this point

FFC is going all in for coverage. Even beyond the models.
3k wasn't as good for the Midlands.. there is still so much inconsistency on where the Western edge of the precip will set up

A foot in Marion County, SC and nearly 10 inches in Florence County, per this run.
Ask those NC guys. Literally, it will be snowing hard 10 minutes away and basically nothing over them. Same will likely happen in this scenario with a very sharp cutoff and dry air.

If this is correct, I'm going to be like 20-25 miles away from seeing some snow. That's about the same distance I was from seeing heavy snow in the early December storm lol.
It happens..... February 2004. Pouring snow in Winnsboro and Newberry, while I had could barely see a few flakes.
