Pattern Muddy March 2021

Lol this look and it’s still not cold enough 9EDD884D-F0B1-41F0-9EE2-D36CBF6E8F8A.png3E55F36E-352B-45B2-A1A0-38822C100346.pngE0ACB2D4-245D-43D1-B14A-9AFA1D622CA2.png
*edit wait a minute looks like the euro might show something the next frame
 
Honestly as much as that’s true .. I can see this trending colder and still I can see us getting heavier rates and bring that cold air down .. this has to atleast be watched for the potential ..
Eh I’d rather see the EPS improve, 00z/12z EPS runs had 0 means across all of NC/SC, which is terrible, let’s see what it shows soon
 
I would normally be intrigued by this but after this winter, I’m not at all, get this under hour 100 and I get interesting, this could easily become another rugpull 1E86C87A-8890-4D73-9C8F-D259420082D2.png4154ADE7-8174-4B59-A986-C88652217610.png
 
And just as I suspected it does just that... it’s a coastal storm but wow ... a couple more miles NORTH WEST (where do we know those words from) and this is a bigger deal
I’m banking on a cold rain, it’s been the story of this winter, just hard to get excited or anything, especially given this is hour 180 plus, we’ve seen so many day 7+ storms this year lol

I'm going to wait until the GFS gets on board before I get too excited. Good sign when the Euro shows snow on the Coast. That means temps might be cold enough for the Midlands of SC to get snow. Just 50-100 west shift would be good enough for us. Too bad this will likely disappear in the next 12 hours or so .

0.1" way down here on 3/6? This is an extreme run out at day 7 that looks nothing like other models. I fully expect the next run to look totally different.

Has it ever accum snowed here that late? It did a little 3/13/1993. Also, oddly enough, the 2nd largest snow ever here was only two days earlier than 3/6, the 3/4/1837 doozy of a coastal.

I give the crazy Doc a 2% chance of being right with a coastal accum snow then for here. esp with -PNA/+AO/+NAO!
 
The SENC, (NC Coast's) have had (some) of their biggest snowfalls, in Muddy March..

(so there's that).. ;)









 
The Midlands of SC are due. Eastern Carolinas got hit in early Jan 2018


True, but mostly areas from Georgetown and points south and west towards SE South Carolina/Florence. Also from Wilmington and points north and also areas around Lumberton. Myrtle Beach/Whiteville/Fayetteville areas got screwed over on the early Jan 2018 winter storm.

Nobody east of the mountains in NC has gone longer without a one footer than places like Laurinburg, Raeford, Fayetteville, Dunn, & Smithfield. Portions of Cumberland, Robeson, Hoke, & Scotland counties have gone nearly a century without a 12”+ storm. I’ll obviously have to make some tweaks to the eastern part of this map as the Dec 2000 & Feb 1989 storms have some east of 95 in the central-northern coastal plain a foot or more

0.2 is 0.1 more than CAE has seen in over 7 years.
 
Most of the operational models are showing something at the day 7 mark. Do I believe it, no way. Not until we get a lot closer. Here's the 6z GFSv16:

This period is definitely beginning to look interesting. A cutoff is trying to phase with the northern stream. Ive been slowly watching to see if models would ever pull it off and they're starting to. Thats definitely a classical way to bring snow this far south late in the season.

Euro is pretty crazy with coastal SE snow in March, but given the anomalous events that have happened so far this winter, I'm not totally discounting it.
 
Heavy breathing. Time this perfect and it's a storm some talk about the rest of their lives. Even as is right now it's not a bad look at all. Still not a lot of support from the ensembles though which is frustratingView attachment 77121

It’s easier to get super amped waves and phasing when the basic state flow & northern stream wave speeds are slower, more chance for interaction over a specific area.
 
GFS06 did look ALOT better than that warm low over DC
