The model agreement just gives me the that comforting feeling.So anywhere from 0.3-18.2", depending on which resolution NAM we use.

For some reason the snowfall output is very light for the nearly the entire first half of the event on this latest run
That's not true at all. The 12z run did, but the 18z is not (not that it's a great run).18z 3k NAM also blanking the Triangle. We're officially intoterritory.
Well for one thing the car got stuck halfway down the driveway todayWhat's taking @BullCityWx so long to chime in on the new 15z SREF??? Even jucier than prior runs!
Can confirm. NE snowstorms are a lot more stable than this. It's getting comical at this point.From an outside perspective this sort of model disagreement does not happen when a snowstorm comes through the Northeast or Midwest. Only Southeast LOL
It all happens on the backend as the coastal gets cranking on the way out. No warm front FGEN precip. I'd hate to be sitting here Saturday evening with bare ground waiting for the coastal to contribute.3km NAM is 3-6" at RDU (0.3" QPF), apparently that's "blanking"?
I don't disagree that it would not be fun to deal with, but a blanking it is not. Definitely a possibility we have to be prepared for, though, where we only get a few inches while everyone on both sides of us digs out. That would suck!It all happens on the backend as the coastal gets cranking on the way out. No warm front FGEN precip.

It's hard to believe these are supposed to be more or less the same model sometimes.NAM and HRRR in RDU -- what's 20 inches of snow between friends?
Never seen anything like this and I thought that I 95 R/S line was a monkey wrench into forecasting. I bet the CAMs show something completely different at 0zCan confirm. NE snowstorms are a lot more stable than this. It's getting comical at this point.
Interesting how the NWS doesn't seem to be buying the ULL enhancement around CLT or the precip minimum closer to RDU like many models are showing.
That's encouraging. Seems they are not smelling what the HRRR is cooking.
Looks like they do to an extent buy the precip min near RDU as a possibility. They lowered the low end totals to 1” and it seems they have percentages reflecting that. Just seems they believe that has a relatively small chance at verifyingInteresting how the NWS doesn't seem to be buying the ULL enhancement around CLT or the precip minimum closer to RDU like many models are showing.
Are all the totals from NWS 10:1 to? If we know ratios will be higher is that accounted for in these types of forecasts? Asking for real not for weenie, I’m just curious.The NWS is using a NBM for totals that's running at least a cycle behind.
I love that the 27.1 spot is 0.0 on the HRRR
Need at least 1 more suite of modeling and consistent hrrr runs for them to bite. Me personally, I buy it, because it’s better for my area and benifits me more.Interesting how the NWS doesn't seem to be buying the ULL enhancement around CLT or the precip minimum closer to RDU like many models are showing.
Those QPF totals are feast or famine for KRDU and surrounding areas. I hope the HRRR is off of its rocker with this run.
Seeing central to southern coastal plain starting to evolve as the jackpot zone. Where our coastal forms further south.
This is 100% sound logic and should not be argued withNeed at least 1 more suite of modeling and consistent hrrr runs for them to bite. Me personally, I buy it, because it’s better for my area and benifits me more.
I was reading about this earlier. I don't know if true but read the HRRR struggles with dry air intruding at 700-500 mb layer. Evidently it want to collapse qpf too aggressively. I'm not sure if this happened on the latest HRRR run, as I haven't had time to look but would be interesting to see.HRRR usually money at this range.
