ukie is juicy

Canadian is like the GFS, but more zr around here.

3" sleet, almost 1" zr on top for Raleigh. 1.8-1.9" qpf

Absolute sleet paste job for NC Keeps central nc as sleet thru Sunday nite

good lord the goofus ain't budging

Super interested in if the GFS changes anything

Less qpf, but still 1.3" in Raleigh on the 06z

Having learned nothing in the past 72 hours, I'm all in for the 18" of snow the 0z Euro gives us next weekend. Bank on it. Pic for funsies...

There are actual definitions for each "level" of severity

WRAL's first forecast with numbers is exactly the 06z Euro.

18z run

Full context:

New hotness just dropped from NWS. Through Sunday morning on these.

3+ inches of sleet on the GFS for like the entire center chunk of NC

Euro Has almost no snow in NC. Even more, is has almost no sleet. It does have 1.5" of zr from the Triangle to VA.

WSWatch from RAH ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible.

Ukie clown has 8" in Raleigh at 10:1, but 0.8" on the Kuchera map. That's is a crap ton of sleet the snow map is showing.

UKIE is doing some things...

After the glazing many will receive this weekend, those wind gusts in the wake of the storm are .... problematic. Yikes.

Sleet ratios are what, 3:1 liquid equivalent?

Freezing rain

I'm really curious to see how things play out with whatever falls and our temps not really getting above freezing for days and days...

4+ inches of freezing rain in NE Mississippi!
