Mean is 6 inches
GSP latest disco, oh mercy.
Convection-allowing models, especially those that are NAM-based and
even the operational NAM itself depict potential for locally high
precip rates, esp across the Piedmont from late morning into the
afternoon, possibly resulting in quickly accumulating snowfall, even
in areas outside the warning. Of course, predicting where exactly
this will (or if it will) set up is akin to predicting where a
cluster of thunderstorms will develop 24 hours in advance.
Nevertheless, the potential exists for locally intense snowfall
rates tomorrow, especially across the Piedmont.

WWA have been issued for the CLT metro area.
GSP says WWAs with be issued south of current warnings, I’d assume those will stop at the state line

This is starting to look right. The usual event in NC is snow>sleet>other junk>snow.
Good catch ... in Jasper, GA currently sitting at 42 with DP of 29 ...
Still not expecting anything big here (around 1,400 ft), but Mt. Oglethorpe on the Pickens/Dawson/Gilmer line is over 3,000 ft. Thought about heading up there, but almost got stuck up there on Christmas Eve so don't want to try that again!!
Will say, the anticipation is fun ... of course, with anticipation there is always the probability of disappointment! But at least there is a chance!
Yep, basically the warning areas down to the state line (plus SC mtns)
Where is the bird? He fly away?
Went all ham on MBY. I'm a little suspect of this but I hope it's right.
Nice. Thanks man!

This seems in line with the earlier 3km NAM's position of the deform band being favorable for the Sandhills/areas south of Raleigh than the Triangle proper.
Birds, just like the sky, need time to heal.
@k0skinne I think you will get in on the action in Pickens sitting at 1400'. At least you will be VERY close!
