Wintry More SE Snow ? (1/16-1/18)

[ForsythSnow]

Isn’t that WSW criteria?

Over 2 is, but up to isn't. It's at the max they can do. Probably keeping it safe. If something soon says up to 3 or 2.5, they will upgrade.

Snowing good here, but really hasn’t amounted to much.
28 degrees

 

[packfan98]

BOOM! Winter Storm Warnings from the Raleigh office. 2-4, up to 5"

 

[Clem282340]

Yes it runs out to 18 hours each run. The new hrrrx runs out to 36 hours on the 0z,6z ,12, and 18z runs

Oh okay I was about to say it look lower in the upstate that it did before but I was was looking at the hrrrx run that ran out to 36 hrs I thought this one did as well

Lol the NAM is finally bringing the goods here after all those bad runs. Keeping the moderate snow streaming over me and ATL for 10 hours.

 

[NGTim]

FFC just decided to cave here. Up to 2 inches in the latest WWA.

this will be a fun one to look back on to compare to the models almost every model has the downslope snow hole centered on my county (Lumpkin), so not expecting much here. weird to think i can see the peaks of the app spine from my house but in that distance the downslope will dry it up. hope at least you guys further south and west get a good one out of it.

 

[ATLwxfan]

Not gonna be fun trying to go to the interstates in the morning though, fully expect alot of school closing announced this afternoon

The highways have been very well treated so far at least.

This was basically the same exact forecast I had last night and I ended up with a little over 3 inches. Your area should do around the same or even bette I’d think. Good luck!

 

[Snowflowxxl]

Snow should definitely stick around at least for a while. Hate it when it melts just after

 

[SoutheastRidge]

Edgecombe County is under a Warning while next door in Pitt County they are not even under an Advisory. I realize they are served by different offices but thats ridiculous. Do offices ever coordinate with each other ?

 

[packfan98]

Triad getting hammered on the NAM. Matches up well with that last SREF run.

 

[Brick Tamland]

WSW for areas west of Raleigh, including Durham and Chapel Hill worded a little differently.

Gonna be nice to have 1-3 inches of snow considering tomorrow's high is only 28 degrees

Sun and winds will melt and evaporate that snow pretty quickly considering.

[LovingGulfLows]

NAM wierdly dryslots me somehow...gonna go with the HRRR on this one....that doesn't look right.

 

[Bama Ravens]

Hard to see how there will be enough snow to cause a lot of icing problems for Tuscaloosa, Birmingham, etc.
