Wintry January 8-9 Wintery Weather Potential!

3km NAM's warm nose is much stronger than the 12km's near the onset of this event. I'd lean very heavily towards the 3km NAM's depiction here. +2-3C max column temps like the 3km NAM shows and you're getting cold rain

Despite the grim look on the front end-middle part of this storm that'll be dominated by warm advection, I do actually feel a lot better about the chances for accumulating moderate-heavy snow/sleet on the backend of this storm than I did yesterday or this morning in central NC. An inch or two is very much on the table imo just need to iron out some details on precisely where and how much
 
Why so unlikely? With the amount of forcing there is could that by chance create a line that cools the atmosphere enough for a thump??? I mean I’ve seen what rates can do sometimes could that not happen here?
It’s completely different from the NAM thermal wise (hrrr is much colder), and it’s worth noting it’s the long range HRRR while were in the NAMs wheelhouse, I want a hrrr solution as much as you do man, trust me, but hey the backside snow looks solid
