Even im their AFD they say snowfall amounts dont meet the winter storm watch criteria of 2 inches. But they keep talking about an enhanced snowfall band . just seems like 2014 is on their mind as they pound home the possible traffic impacts.

I know that Dave Toleris gets a lot of flack for his behavior on social media. However, he is a good meteorologist and puts out some quality blogs and videos. Here's his most recent video that outlines all of the ingredients and details to our system. It's worth watching to learn how all of the pieces come together. This was issued last night. The only drawback I see is that the models have backed off on the stronger closed low scenario for now.
 
Winter weather advisory for my area Winter storm warning for counties just to my west in NW MS. Congrats to them again
 
Looks like MEG went with 2-4 south of I40 and 1-2 north of I40. I think that's the right call atm. It has been a long time since we have had this setup. Usually these anafrontal systems over perform with an Arctic front. This will be the second time in 5 days we get powder. Still have 3 to 4 on the ground.

Like most if not all Deep South Winter events, this one will have some surprises...You can count on it

KBMX absolutely made the right call in going with a WSW

Interesting the CMC produced a closed off ULL and all the models trended away from it overnight. Technically the Euro still has it, briefly closing at 66hrs but opening back up and not closing until it’s too late (out to sea). I’ll continue harping on the fact that we need at least some sort of cutoff for Central NC and triad to overperform with this event. But I’m not saying we can’t have a decent snow over NC. Impacts also will be felt tenfold regardless, given the morning timing.

Yea. Kind of ridiculous to put out a WSW when zero guidance shows we will meet the criteria...HSV has it right with an advisory. May be able to remove that if qpf doesnt juice up.
