Pattern Microwave March

Yeah it was a little further south but once again the storm itself slowed down and the overall orientation of the s/w trough was less positive and there was more interaction w/ the northern branch of the jet as this rounded the southern periphery of the SE Canada vortex
Eric do you think us here in Columbia could see some light snow from this?? what is your idea for Columbia SC?

The midlands of SC are on the southern fringe of where I'd consider there being the potential of any legitimate threat for wintry precipitation. For now, it's unlikely-very unlikely that anything would fall but that could change the next day or two
 
Thanks for the Tennessee map. Northern Tennessee/Southern Kentucky seems to be in a pretty good spot for the most part. I do worry that models have been overly strong with HP moving down from Canada all season long.
 
While that's a legitimate concern, we're now getting inside day 3-4 and the models are becoming increasingly bullish with the surface high diving out of Canada and rightfully so because the airmass associated with it is near record breaking strength for march. The temperatures at 850mb in north-central Canada are the coldest we've observed since at least the late 1950s in March...

I am with Eric here. Very very low chance of anyone South of Rock Hill seeing Wintry weather so far. CAE proper is at a very low chance.. and keep in mind, the best scenario is some flurries right now at best. Even that is pushing it.

This might not even work out for Charlotte (anything substantial) when all is said and done. You'd want better cold (which would likely end up making ip/zr around here) and also would want the system to be further South and weaker, by quite a bit more. It's just not climo for us here. Mid Feb would be a different story.

You think elevations above 3,000' in GA could get some flurries out of this ?
 
Wake up! Wake up! 6z a little South of 0z GFS ! NC crush job!!

If you take the CMC, you can stay put and get more than flurries, and I hope it is right! Unlikely, but why not hope for it? The GFS is going to lose this one with its northern low track I feel, the MA gets nothing, and there is another gradient storm again.
 
06 GFS clown map is very deceiving, haven't checked the soundings put a good portion of that is either sleep freezing rain four NC I'm talking about

Wow indeed. It's a completely new solution too, so I wouldn't bet on it unless it shows up in future runs, but that sure will freeze all the plants that started growing early.

To be fair many ensembles have shown the same solution

I just checked bufkit for RDU....1.1" liquid alll snow, ends as a bit of sleet. Shocked me considering some graphic output..

Edit: whoops looking at the 00z...lets load up the 06z.
