Exactly...there isn't enough southerly flow and moisture transport, you can also see the high pressure and drier air pushing down from the north. Honestly expect nothing here now and will be surprised with an inch.
Hope you're right but modeling has been insistent on some type of downsloping element for McDowell northwest to Wilkes County. With the flow and orientation of the moisture its unusual to have a precip minimum here. If it was more west to east then yes
My forecast-
Haywood/Jackson/Swain- Generally 2-5
Buncombe/Madison/Henderson- Generally 1 to 3
Yancey/Mitchell/Avery- 1 to 3 inches
Asheville City- 1.5
Boone- 1.5
Hendersonville- 2
Marion/Morganton- 1 inch grassy areas
Rutherfordton- .5 to 1 inch grassy areas
Jackpot for WNC- Rainforrest- 5.5 inches
Snow will fall most of the day but will gave trouble accumulating due to low rates and marginal temperatures.
