Unrelated, but approaching 13 years on here! Feel like I know y'all but don't at the same time. It has been fun my friends. 

Yup, that was when Eastern WX moved over to American WX. I started when Eastern WX got going around 01-02 or so when I was at APP.

I need to print some “I hate the Pacific” t-shirts. I’d make a killing with our group and the Mid Atlantic crew. 

When the west coast we toast for sure. 

I was really hoping that i could track a good storm during our Christmas break from school. Nope. 

I swear If i hear, "the long term looks good" one more time, Im going to burn it down. LOL

Going back to my old rule of thumb of, when he shows shows 6 hours out I'll bite. 

..I feel better now...

0z GFS is a step in the right direction for Wednesday night. I could see this sneak into a light event if things trend a little stronger with the low.

Even more with the 006 Z run of the GFS. 

Over night discussion from gsp-1:30am:

The GFS and EC have maintained decent
run-to-run consistency, with low tracks far enough south that only
our southernmost zones fall under the precip shield.  The GDPS
has also shifted the low farther south, but features a sharper
thermal gradient and slightly slower trough, so it is more expansive
with precip across the Carolinas in a somewhat more Miller B-type
pattern.  It had been the wettest but warmest model 24 hours ago,
but now its sfc temps/wet-bulbs make it the coldest model despite
having all the precip. A few members of all three of these models'
ensembles depict a wetter solution, but as we typically see, these
members are among the warmest during the passage of the low.

...LIGHT SNOW THIS MORNING OVER THE SMOKIES...
An area of light precipitation seen on radar this morning over
east Tennessee will move slowly eastward over the mountains of
North Carolina along the Tennessee border. Most of the
precipitation will fall as light snow through noon because of the
cold temperatures over the mountains. Some parts of the Smokies
could get up to an inch of accumulation, particularly above 3000
feet. A dusting will also be possible across valley locations,
mainly along and west of a line from Franklin to Sylva,
Waynesville, and Marshall. Be careful while driving on untreated
roads this morning and watch out for slick spots.

European with a little something for next week.  Temps need a little help.
 

Updated my PWS from a ambient 2902-b to the ambient ws-2000 yesterday.
The 2902 ran strong the last five years before having small issues. But still worked well!
I was looking for the ability to add more sensors to my home.
Looking forward to calibrating it over the next few weeks.

38.5/38.2

2.81” so far. Looking to pick up a lot more this morning.
Saw some lightning a few minutes ago.

The sound of steady rain hitting the metal roof is easing the soul tonight. Been battling either the flu or strep for 2 days. Hope yall had a better holiday than I did . Merry Christmas!
