Wintry January 8-9 Wintery Weather Potential!

Oh I am extremely hopeful for you believe me haha. It’s to the point where I’m gonna be chasing up that way.
Christiansburg or Wytheville may be better to get some of the early stuff too. But whoever gets under that NE to SW oriented band pushing NW will have some fun. Several models showing that now. HRDPS looks fun too. So Hillsville or Stewart might be jackpots. Best wishes on your chasing!

Worth noting that the RAP is headed towards reality and shifting that stuff in the front further north, it’s basically more in line with the NAM to with the backside stuff, this model is finally getting a hint 03C74883-922F-4E5D-8555-A84595C2E621.pngDFFFDC84-D91B-4317-87AB-6225AA4C852B.pngB6E5F6A0-18EC-496B-A85F-2F54B55550FE.gif

I think Fancy Gap could be a really good spot. High elevation, but a little further south so they may get more precip to work with. Plus could they get some upslope against the edge of the mountains there?
 
Move that stuff around South Charlotte north and there’s my answerView attachment 63691View attachment 63692
I like your map. Only thing I would do differently is pull the northern half of the white east one layer of counties to take in Johnston, Wilson, Nash, edgecombe, Halifax and Northampton. Think there might be enough left in the deformation band to clip them on the way out
 
One thing I’m watching right now is the RAP and HRRR 850’s and 925’s at the end of their runs (4pm tomorrow) and right now they’re 2-3 degrees colder compared to the NAM. That is at the end of their range but these are things we will have to monitor closely because those 3 degrees are the difference between it taking 6-8 hours to change over to snow and 1-3 hours which could make all the difference in the world.
