  1. But he also says that HRRR and NAM are both showing this.. and we would like to see them getting snowier, not less
  2. Both the HRRR and the Nam 3K are showing that huge snow void.
  3. HRRR is a disaster for the triangle. This is lining up with the thinking of a lot of meteorologists...
  4. If you've followed Brad's videos and posts the past few days, then you understand his thinking. He has been very consistent with his concerns about a transition zone and intrusions of dry air in the triangle region. He backed this up with modeled water vapor imagery and other graphics.
  5. I think it's safe to say that most folks in the triangle (and especially Wake) will not see any substantial snow until lunch time or after... Which is going to have a lot of people around here saying, "Where is the snow!?" Trends show much of our snow coming from the coastal low
  6. Doesn't make sense for the 3K NAM to be that different than 12K. Yes, I know it is higher resolution, but that's way too much of a difference. So either the 3K is way too low or the 12K is way too high.
  7. According to data from the NC Climate Office, in the past 50 winters at RDU (December, January, February), there have only been 25 months with a total of 3" of snow or more. That's 17%.... 3" in a month (much less a single storm), is a big deal for Raleigh. Yes, we want all want the big one, but this is Raleigh... Gotta keep it in relative perspective.
  8. 12Z HRRR looks amazing for central NC. It also picks up on the "banding" nature of the convection. There will be localized higher amounts that it can't resolve at this time.
  9. WRAL sticking with 3-6" for central NC RAH also sticking with 3-7" for central NC. Matches the EURO. Latest 06Z HRRR shows 10" for Wake County
  10. 3k NAM has that dry slot again but further west than wake this time .
  11. Removing the outliers, the sref plume shows 6 to 15 inches for rdu .
  12. If the euro was true, Wake county would have the lowest amounts in the entire state. Including the coast. .
  13. The euro matched up perfectly with what WRAL predicted with two bullseyes with a dry wedge in between. This should only strengthen their stance. .
  14. Mike Maze put out a PM update. He said snow total probabilities are dropping off on the Euro. Two bullseyes setting up.
  15. WRAL adjusted their totals. They are concerned about dry air being wedged between two maxima. They said there is a dry slot showing up on "more and more models."
  16. The newest HRRR looks good. Filling in nicely but only goes out to Saturday morning.
  17. Everyone relax. Don't live and die by each model run. The exact track will make a huge difference. The NAM wasn't even finished.
  18. Not sure I'd agree. It already has an inch (or more) over most of the area by 7AM Saturday...
  19. I'd take 2" and be happy in southern wake. That's a solid snow here.
  20. This is WRAL's first map. Brad P in Charlotte says the potential dry slots prohibited him from putting out totals last night. He said that a broad stroke map may not be the best in this case.
  21. I'll gladly take a central NC screw zone of 2-3 inches. Still more snow than 95% of the systems we get. WRAL first call going with 3-6 inches for central NC.
