Yea I think this will be my “what could have been” storm I think about often. The Jan storm had signs for multiple days that we were going to be squeezing juice out of spent lemons but this one really teased us with the southern stream up until late Sunday. We just got dominated by the northern stream this winter.
The convection blow up in the gulf is all I needed to see tonight. I said yesterday this was going to be a painful event as far east as the triad and I think it could now be even further east than that. Depending on a dying batch of precip to survive downsloping in hopes a 1010+ mb low pressure 200 miles off shore will throw back moisture is a recipe for disappointment.
This board is so back.
- RDU folks debating the warm nose that’ll split the county in half
- War of words between west and east
- 100 WRAL mentions per hour
I love it. This winter although underwhelming for anyone not at the coast has brought opportunities and the hilariousness of old.
There’s usually no warmth until the state has stocked the last trout. It only warms up after the poachers net everything out of the delayed harvest water. Anecdotal, I know, but just an observation from the past.
We’re almost to nowcasting time. Enjoy the ride - folks down east!
For the rest of you scoundrels in the upstate and foothills, whichever one of you pissed off Mother Nature and had her send us Helene and an a below average winter for temps with below average snow - REPENT!
The 3k has been firing warning shots for several runs now. I could care less locally because my expectations are low but this could be heartbreak city tomorrow for the triad and Wake co.
