Near zero dewpoints last night, which is increasingly unusual as we head into March. Single digit dew points occur just over 10% of the time in late February

We have now entered the time of year when you have to both be in a great pattern and get lucky. I am not really seeing a ton of support for cold air linking up with moisture on ensembles, so I would say, bring on the warmth

Yep, when I suggested for you to make the storm thread, I didn't think you would use that power only to bring Raleigh the goods

Yeah, the HRRR had some fresh development east of the mountains but dried up a bit in the most recent run. Encouraging you are already seeing flurries since the best dynamics won't be for at least another hour

See that's how I know this is the South, otherwise you'd be taking them out to do donuts in an empty parking lot...and then getting Chick-fil-A afterward

All that dry air just enhanced banding for the developing coastal. Congrats Raleigh, I know how rare these are!

Huge flakes In Greensboro. Wasn't really expecting these kind of rates. Let's see if the band can stay out for a while, maybe even build to the west a bit, before pushing East. I'm thinking based on hires modeling, we should be in the best dynamics through about 4 pm

You can see the convection that was robbing moisture is pivoting which will aid in moisture transport for Eastern areas -

Just ask someone from northern England .they have 26 different words for drizzle (just kidding, I made that up...I think). I suppose there's drizzle that makes you a little damp, vs a soaking drizzle. That's my experience anyway -

I am guessing once this slug of moisture arrives in the Triangle is when the highest rates will occur, remains to be seen how far west the main band can build back. -

I'm amazed at how this image turns into potentially .1" or less of QPF east of the mountains. We've had plenty of disappointment around here (and when I lived in Virginia)usually in the form of a changeover, but nothing quite so perplexing meteorologically. Common sense normally prevails but here we are -
Not excessively dry sounding at 12z, but generally close to the HRRR. Perhaps the HRRR is overdoing dry air, just a tad

First potential flakes moving off the foothills. Could produce light snow/flurries, but no mechanism to develop meaningful precip atm -

Models looked abysmal for the triad overnight, but it's encouraging to see the hires models tend towards throwing more moisture back west with WAA as frontogenesis pushes moisture NW -

Just remember no matter what happens tomorrow, disappointment is temporary, bad climo is forever -
