Good point. Really GFS is all rain for Raleigh.

 

Notice the soundings. Raleigh. Even a warm nose present above and below 850 700.

That cools off. But then the moisture moves out. DP temps or Wetbulbs dont support nothing frozen from 925 to surface.

Just verbatim on those soundings, the full column is at 0 deg or below except in the surface layer....and even there, the wet bulbs temperatures are below freezing except right at the surface where it is barely above...so that's snow or a mix, but not seeing all rain there

yea those soundings look good to me.  let me overcome warm BL temps rather than a stout warm nose.

If you look at Radar of course precip has broke out across S GA. But off the coast of JAX that cluster of storms is the SLP. If you look at SPC Meso page. Windstreams converage near and the greatest Surface and 700mb Frontogenesis resides along. The is the greatest baroclinic zone. Now just wait for the UL energy.

It looks like it could be on WV just a little bit. But still appears to be transfering near the coast with more energy coming in... South of NO OL.

 

 

WV does look like the trough axis taking more of a neutral look.

 

 

Edi: Mack everything  looks right on Schedule..... for a I95 East storm from SC,NC to Outer Banks.

Looks to be still closed off at 500mb, anybody wanna chime in on that?
