Did that particular event surprise people? Like was it showing up on modeling?
Hires Models showed it a day or 2 prior and night before showed some heavy returns. I chased from Charleston and didn’t really believe it would happen until I woke up that morning and the radar lit up
 
Initial front passed here before it got dark. Got very windy for a bit and now it's dead calm and not really cold yet

Second push towards morning tries to squeeze out some flakes. I doubt it happens here in the city but maybe in the higher elevations

I know it's gonna warm back up but you gotta admit this is a pretty legit front for November 9th regardless with what is modeled in the Appalachians

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building.

Heavy rainfall is also occurring with these storms and may lead to
localized minor flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded
roadways.

Cloud to ground lightning is occurring with these storms.
Lightning can strike 10 miles away from a thunderstorm. Seek a safe
shelter inside a building or vehicle
 
Is this for real? When did this happen? That is just so terrible. How did you guys figure out?

It was in April and someone knew his real name

Man, that is so heartbreaking. May he rest in peace.

I’m not sure if they have found his killer yet.
 
We're kinda outside the peak range of the Euro but it still gives CLT/Upstate SC flurries for a few panels in the afternoon before switching to giving Northern NC/The Triad the main action that night.
 
the 6z long range HRRR brings the vortmax way to the west and then sends it barreling east. It gives the ATL metro snow showers/snow squalls.

Though the 6z NAM continues what seems to be a trend of bringing the vortmax back up to the NE, which may be the death knell for anything breaking containment if it continues.
 
RAH finally saying there could be brief snow:
"Come Monday night, a strong vort max tied to the larger trough over
the Mid-Atlantic region will swing through central and eastern
portions of NC, in conjunction with the Arctic boundary. Model
forecasts depict a strong PV anomaly with the shortwave. Point
soundings from the GFS also depict steep lapse rates and deep
saturation in the dendritic growth layer. We certainly could see a
quick burst of rain changing to some brief light snow or flurries
Mon night with the dynamic nature to the system. It appears the
favored area would be mainly along/north of US-64. Any snow
accumulation, if any, would be minor and confined to elevated
surfaces given warm ground temperatures."

They even put it in my grid forecast:

But, this 20% chance starts right at my location and then goes east/northeast through NC. Honestly, I worry about the clous cover keeping the temps up overnight. I want that hard freeze over a few snowflakes.
 
The wind is definitely legit

I think we're way too warm for flakes though like I suspected

But yeah outside the cities may make a run for teens tonight. That's pretty crazy for this early in November

12Z HRRR seems to be doing about the same, just drier as usual with the HRRR runs where it fluctuates on amounts. Regardless, still some decent squalls
 
The 12z NAM brings the vortmax back SW.

Also, the 3knam keeps wanting to develop flurries/sprinkles in SC in the late afternoon/early evening. Can a met or at least someone more educated than me explain this.
 
The current and recent KCHS NWS forecasts for KSAV have been for 30 on 11/11 in a windy freeze. If that were to verify, it would be the earliest 30 or colder since way back in 1976! However, latest and recent model consensus is suggesting that 30 is on the low end (Icon). ICON actually warmed some from 27s on Sat runs.

Latest ICON/GFS/CMC/Euro/UKMET (as of 6Z/0Z 11/9 runs) have 30/32/33/33/34. If this were a radiational cooling night, I’d likely favor the low end per slight warm bias of consensus. But with it being windy, I’m currently thinking near the model avg of 32. However, if the model consensus were to cool, I’d adjust colder.
