Precip has been speeding up, which offers better timing when it enters

Add a 1 in front of that 0.

You know, I'm glad I approved your member request ?

Man this has serious December 2018 vibes for NC. Orientation of the R/S line and marginal temps are eerily similar

Don't get too psyched up. It's also warmer.

Agreed, I think that is one reason we are seeing temps trend colder. Earlier onset + increasing frontogentically forced bands is really changing the thermal equation.

Me too bc I still haven't figured out how to do that

Funny thing about the ICON is it probably should have been more from Wake County east...

The ICON’s had that dry spot for the past couple runs, no?

We better not be headed for this again.



If so, I quit this hobby for life.

I agree. The difference that I’m seeing though is that it’s entirely possible that more folks just to the south could get in on the fun. I would have to think being in early January as opposed to early December helps.

The RGEM is looking awesome I-85 northward! Folks forget that it runs out to 84 hours now! It does a good job at spotting banding.

Yeah I'm not really too worried about qpf atm, that storm track is a beaut.

Another just brutal one. I would say I’d be fine with that solution this time just because the past winter was so horrid, but that wouldn’t even be like a little half inch coating the ground, more like a sloppy half-melted quarter inch mixed with rain. Let’s hope that this far out it doesn’t come true!

And best of all, it’s falling during daylight hours!

Damn if there’s been one thing that’s consistently popping up, it’s the mesoscale banding with this system

That was horrible. Just horrible.

That one was awesome! I wasn't supposed to get anything, but got an inch and a half on frozen ground!

GFS is running....

 

[Ollie Williams]

The RGEM also gets down to 32 north of I-40!

 

[sdm47]

00z RGEM also shows 850 temps falling below freezing as precip begins. If this can continue to speed up and trend just a little more south I think northern NC could really get a nice surprise here.

 

[NCSNOW]

Man The GFS 0z is way futher south at hr42/44 whichever it is verse 18z

 

[Myfrotho704_]

GFS is less amped so far
