Wintry Machine Learning Mauler 1/30-2/1

For some reason the snowfall output is very light for the nearly the entire first half of the event on this latest run

This has been an issue with the 3km nam all week for some reason. The banding on the surface reflection looks way more impressive than it's final QPF outputs. It's so bizarre.
 
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.
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!
 
NAMs aren't that far apart...the 12km has the precip min from Asheboro/GSO and 3km has it right up RDU's fanny....I don't know which one will be correct but there is a good bet that somewhere between the triad and RDU will get precip min'd and opposite that hole will be big snow totals.

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.
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 verifying

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.
 
HRRR usually money at this range.
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.
