Euro shows precip parting like the Red Sea as it approaches our doorstep. ?‍♂️ Par for the course I guess. I just want to see flakes fly or sleet ping.

Lol that's brutal. Pretty good evidence of a lull here between the coastal and ull but I'm not sure that the intital shot won't be more impressive than the euro shows but we will be fighting poor thermals. On the bright side we probably end as something that isn't rain
 
Brad P. has their Futurecast model up and it’s actually showing what appears to be a period of at least moderate snow from 4pm to 10pm for the whole Charlotte metro area on Friday. What’s odd about it is that the temperatures don’t drop any and stay 36-37 during that time on it. I would have to think that if that band comes through the area like that surface temps would drop a few degrees

Yeah one of the things I don't like about this event other than the marginal temps is the lack of precip. GSP expects about .5 inches. When you're dealing with marginal temps, warm ground, rain to snow, that's not very much to work with.

Just hoping to see some flakes fly. Not expecting any accumulation IMBY.
 
Looked at a few of the soundings in the upstate and although the reflec showed rain or a mix, it was a snow sounding. Also it my experience the deform bands usually form on I85 and at time I40. That’s where I think they’ll be here so the drier solution after daybreak I’m not buying either
 
I'd certainly be watching the H7 moisture charts over the next 24 hrs to see where the dry slot aloft punches north. It's going to happen and doubt that you are going to get a seeder feeder here even if you do the dry slot is usually warm so it's drizzle/sleet for a while. 700rh.us_ma (2).png
