maybe some CAD action sunday with highs in the 70s to low 80s, and we finally have a fantasy range cold front showing up 300+hrs out now around the 3rd week of september.

12z still looks bad as well, but the one good thing about this pattern is it allows cold to develop in NW Canada. Snow coverage builds rapidly in that area during the next ten days. When we do finally get that big cold front it may switch us to well below normal temps. And that would feel dramatic compared with the forecasted above normal temps through mid month. 

good point!  nothing beats the first true cold front of fall, when you walk out of the door in the morning and can smell the crisp cold air!

gfs looks god awful still, highs in the 90s, lows in the 70s through mid sept. not a cold front in sight.

long range gfs looks hot, we don't even sniff 50s again for the next 10+ days, daytime highs in the 90s. blech.

Already excited for cool fall mornings and football, and prepared for 90 degrees in late October! Let's get it!

6z GFS says apps rubber after apps rubber! No cold in sight. This Friday/Saturday cold shot, is coldest of the whole run !

and it has been scarily consistent showing nada. 

2nd run in a row with some light snow tues morn

great song!

temps look good, kuchera ratios look good too.

well this is certainly an improvement.

Radar is so typical for a rdu snow, shouldn't even be that surprised.

oh don't you worry. raleigh never fails at failing at snow.

i moved away so rdu will jackpot. snow curse has been lifted.

after rdu gets 4" tonight i will be the only one in the sanitarium. bummer.

we need to remember for future storms that the nw trend only happens if it screws you with temps.  otherwise you can bank on being dry.

hrrr gives rdu ZERO precip. good lord.

CR what time are you planning on reviving the "what did we learn" thread? 

hrrr has shifted precip east each of the past 4 runs, very similar to the new nam. uh oh...

It’s unbelievable really...how difficult it is to get legit snow here.

970 mb low off Wilmington and still bone dry, laughable really. We learned last year to never trust the models until you see snow falling from the sky

I've seen this movie plenty of times. Gonna be a epic storm offshore with a brutal cutoff and minimal precip back to 95. Friggin Florida with more snow than clt and rdu.

if you want snow just have me move away from your town. used to live in charleston, now theyre getting 2-4". moved from raleigh, now they will see some snow.  meanwhile charlotte is bone dry.

0z NAM might toss some of us a bone, if it keeps the trend up.

If I deleted a New Years Thread, and we all get hammered somehow NYD, I think I shall cliff dive off my second story roof.

who was it that deleted it?

nam is giving chest compressions for the nyd event, ill toss a rope for those who jumped off the cliff.

glad i saw my 5" of snow a few weeks ago in nyc, makes it a lot easier to watch these storm threats disappear.

another inch or so on the back end for western nc and ga, what a great storm for you guys.
