When a commenter asked about the lower totals on the WRAL map than those included in the Winter Storm Watch, WRAL’s Grant Skinner responded:
”Very good question! We decided to go more conservative with the totals since there’s still model uncertainty. Our team talked about the latest model guidance and overall pattern yesterday and early this morning. It’s not clear where a heavier band of snow will set up. It’s just a first look; we’d rather trend higher if needed than say a bunch of snow and then not have near as much.”
