The only thing that really upsets me about this storm is now all of a sudden in the triangle this has turned into a night time storm and a quick one at that. All week I was excited about seeing snow during the day. As usual...life in Southern wake co. Sigh
Yeah...I am not sure as of now wilmington gets anything from the coastal! Forecast i heard is for the low to rapidly intensify. We will see. But like u said...the low is not really moving up the coast but out to sea. Not good imo.
I think the coastal is too far east and north. Look at the radar? 100% dry slot over hwy 17 corridor! No signs yet of the precip inching inland. Again..I am thinking of past coastals where this was not a problem at all!
I just don't understand this coastal? There should be snow back to 17 by now. I remember Christmas 89 the snow came in at wilminton then moved north...allowing eastern NC to immediately get in on the action. Instead moisture is just hugging the coast. (Carteret co) Any idea why the precip is not spreading inland? Is it too early?
Yes, and i trust the guys at the NWS more than tv mets. NWS does not seem to be buying it at least it seems
I think TV Mets are saying this as a way out if it does bust! lol
New Bern had 14 inches in 1989. Whatever moron at the airport who took that measurement of 8 inches was HIGH. I measured 14 inches in several parts of my yard. I lived over by Merchants in Brices Creek.
I wonder why the outerbanks got so little? Warm air or dry slot? I thought the 80 storm was SUPER cold?? I was only 4 and lived in Wilson...I slightly remember it.
