Pattern Magnificent March

NWS Little Rock does a fantastic job w/ these historical case studies, I commend them for being able to produce snow accumulation maps before 1895.

Next week is starting to get my attention.

Temps won't get out of the 30s according to the gfs. If I get even another inch of snow in march it would be quite a feat. In 12 years of living here I don't ever recall 2 snows of over an inch in march.
Hell, last weeks storm was the latest accumulating snow I've seen since i lived here.

Quite a range in temps today. 66 in Raleigh; 44 in DC. 77 in Tulsa; 47 in KC. 70 in Nashville; 50 in Louisville. Must be a stalled front somewhere.

So the GFS doesn't like snow for NC, but does for TN, AL, and GA, the CMC has all, and the Euro I close for GA and AL in portions, but too warm in guessing except the mountains, but likes NC.

GFS has shown snow for NC at the same time in some runs just like the Euro and Canadian. Next Wednesday and Thursday definitely look interesting.

If this winter produces accumulating snow yet again here in Raleigh this late in March I’ll definitely bump my winter grade to an A-, getting 1 accumulating snow after the 1st week or so of March is a feat in of itself but to get 2 would be something else even in spite of the warm February.
 
I know we are late into March, but to see yet another southeast possible snow that the models are suggesting, seem exciting. This has my attention as I am watching this time frame and each run looks more legit to say. Well see.
 
Brent, I lived south of weatherford for about 11 years, and in february 2009, I was crappie fishing on Lake Granbury. A guy was wakeboarding, and oit was 90 degrees. In February.
 
long range GFS has a freaking snowstorm for Amarillo and Oklahoma where it hasn't really snowed all winter on April 1st(which is also Easter)...

That would be something :rolleyes:

Apparently some EPS members are even snowy not far from here in the days leading up lol
 
Looks like we might have a few elevated storms around this evening. Could be a couple decent hailers

So, what's the latest on the winter storm threat next week? Any good runs overnight?
 
Regardless of the snow map, 12z looks great for NC.

3 trailing waves in the southeast, one is bound to make us wintry...another snow for RDU north seems likely at this point. Euro GFS and CMC all agree more or less at 500mb, a lot of changes are expected....but wow.

Incredible. Equinox snows are pretty rare but they've happened before, most notably in March 1908, 1914, & 1973 (the same year the blasted SE NC, SC, and GA w/ a monster storm in February), & 1981 in NC. The March 1973 event was accompanied by widespread areas of thundersnow and seems to bear the most overall similarities to the upcoming event.

Man. GFS looks great, and three models still showing snow. Winter is going out with a bang.
