He could and betting the sleet-streak for Raleigh is not unwise. That said there was a slight expansion back west on the gfs from 06z but not really a nw trend that I could see.
BTW, that snow chances chart from WRAL has a 52.5% chance of being correct.
Oh I know that line could waffle and slide to and fro during the actual storm. What we don't want to see is it shift slowly northwest on the coming model runs
When I think about the coverage area they have to account for there will be vast differences between say Goldsboro, Southern Pines, Roxboro and Rocky Mount. Then there is Wake county. They'd need to issue micro forecasts
Kind of confused by that 18z NAM run. Seems like it went off point from 12z and dampened out a bit more. Although looking at 84hrs is a non-no for stuff like that.
