Light drizzle here in Hickory. <sigh>
-
Yeah, the orientation of the major moisture flow on radar is almost due west to east. And...it has set up to our south.
-
Dewpoints in the 20s for western half of NC. Surface temps are not below freezing, though, except on the highest peaks.

Less than 1 inch for Franklin? -
3.5-inch mean snowfall on the 15Z SREF for KHKY. Continues to tick up a bit.
-
Good point. May have not given it enough time to develop. Only out to 27 on Pivotal when I posted my earlier content. Hour 30 shows snow back further south now.
-
18Z NAM moving north with the snowfall...again.
-
SREF Mean jumped to 3 inches for KHKY with the 09Z run. Still lots of spread though.
-
It's still very visible on both the 12K and the 3K NAM models, though. Especially from Caldwell County to the north and east. Being in the extreme NW corner of Catawba County, that makes me a bit nervous. Nah. Calculus is much more straightforward. Weather prediction with high degrees of accuracy and pinpoint precision is still an unattainable goal in 2020.

SREF plumes for KHKY. A two-inch mean isn't too shabby for this uneventful winter, so far.
-
06Z models not as juicy as 00Z models for KHKY:
-
Current NWS GSP forecast for snow totals. Conservative.
-
Webber with the snow shadow forecast in the lee of the Apps. A wide shadow, too. Ugh! I'm hoping I'm just far enough east to avoid most of the downsloping. The more the precipitation feed is oriented SW to NE, the better, IMO. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Yes. That storm sucked. S. U. C. K. E. D. No other way around it. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk

Thanks for nothing, eyewall. [emoji20] Fully buying the downsloping, you are. Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk
-
Apps lee-side screw-zone in full effect! I would think if the precipitation truly blossoms that it would fill back in further NW, but maybe that's just wishful thinking...
-
An "exciting" trace! What we all hope to see. You have to love the dark humor of some mets who write these AFDs.
-
Thanks for that, eyewall. Ugh. The mountains give (in CAD events), and the mountains take away (in storms from the NW and (sometimes) W directions). Such is life in this incredibly interesting micro-climate. =) Overall, I'm still pretty psyched by this storm, though. This has the most potential all year long.
-
Once the precipitation turns over to snow, it appears that it never goes back, at least in NC zones of this 12Z run of the NAM.
-
Yeah, that's not too far south of me. Continued shifts like this put me more and more in the mix. From what I can tell, the warm nose is not predominantly banked up against the mountains in a SW to NE manner but is more oriented W to E. And, it has been moving steadily northward on subsequent runs of the NAM. That's not good for lots of us, given the general NW trend that we are accustomed to.
-
Fortunately, it turns to solid snow for two-thirds of NC by hour 57 on the 12K NAM.
-
This is the sounding for KHKY at hour 54 on the 12Z NAM. That 750mb level is too close for comfort to the 32 F line...
-
Looks like the rates of precipitation quickly cool the atmosphere in NC. Went from rain at hour 48 in KHKY to snow by 51, but it's REALLY close to a mix.
