Both storms screw the foothills, that means this has legs

I like the trend of a stronger, sharper ridge out west. This gets said all the time but it’s real here: there is a ton of energy flying around late next week. We need to continue the trend of a sharper trough, more dig for a phase for storm 1. Storm 2 is tough to talk about bc it seems so reliant on what happens with storm 1. I’ll take the players on the board right now. EURO and GFS both have big dog potential if everything falls right and honestly we haven’t seen that in years. Late bloomer seems most likely path to victory with storm 1 but if that trough goes negative tilt just a little earlier and that low gets tucked this storm could really go to town. Keep building heights out west and dig the trough a little deeper and I think you’ll keep seeing some fantasy runs pop up

One of the best football games you’ll ever watch. Playoff this year has produced

GFS doesn’t have the second storm bc it drops off the energy in the SW and it becomes completely cutoff. I have questions for the model…

I’ll cash out the 6z GFS for next Thursday! 2-4” for the northern half of central NC and cold

For the mountains. Both Euro and GEFS snowfall means ticked up for most in Carolina’s with the overnight suite. Both systems have potential here and we’re seeing solid miller A potential from both. GFS evolution was wonky to me, digging energy into the SW and holding it back. Would be great for overrunning but everything seems to trend more progressive with time. Euro is amped and a legit miller A with the second storm. First storm is soooo close across guidance just not quite there on anything

61.9 today, felt “cool” after yesterday

Those are COMICAL given reality!

First time we’ve seen green across the forum on one of these outlooks in a very long time

We tend to suck a lot nowadays

Good trends across guidance for the 15-16th period. Storm signal is there

GFS with a 990 100 miles east of where we want it isn’t a bad spot to be 7 days out. AI similar and ICON is a mountains-Virginia major storm. Definitely a signal consolidating for that timeframe. Let’s see if trends continue with regards to phasing and trough placement

Any rain with this weekend storm system will be extremely beneficial. Severe drought has exploded in area across the southeast and now 1/3 of NC (up from less than 1% last week) is in the severe drought category. Western areas and mountains should do well but central piedmont and coastal plain look to whiff, again

This is one of the biggest winter punts I can remember. Since our little snow events December 8-16 we will have punted till likely January 15 at the earliest. 30 days of winter without a single threat to track is brutal, even for here

74.1, this is ridiculous
