calculus1 Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Are they really that rare? To hear it told on here, the snow hole over central NC is one of the most common winter occurrences... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"snow hole" which ruined our high end opportunities New Hanover Country (ILM) seems to have the same problem with a twist. Most of the county just won't changeover to snow, which according to WECT, may cut into snow totals. It's still a mixed bag of moderate to heavy sleet.

Radar falling apart upstream. I mean the band to the west will rotate through around midnight, but it will be falling apart when it does. It’s very sad and disappointing. Just a little bit of snow falling from the sky is apparently too much to ask for anymore. Sorry man..this sucks. This is like the cherry on top after last January.

I am in the same boat here in north central Cumberland County, I don't think we will see ANYTHING judging by radar. It is fading to the west and south of me and a clean strip of nothing right through the center of the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY_WX Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is definitely going to be a good thumping for interior sections who don't get dry slotted by this BS hole in wake county. The SLP is in the middle of that isotach circulation below, pretty far NW of guidance which has been obvious for some time. This thing is going right up the gulf stream as it bombs out into a blizzard. You guys in NE NC are going to be absolutely crushed tonight. Thinking raleigh still has a good shot as 3 or 4 inches tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest NAM 12K and HRRR give us 8-10" but 50 miles to our west only 3-4"....I have had sleet since 5:30ish just about to go to snow but rates are meh.....still by 10-12 things should start banding up NE to SW over eastern NC and its game on.....if it holds that western track though one would think the 8-10" area would expand and the 4-5" would push back west of I-95....thats on top of anything already down.

Norwegian Cyclone Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Wow, it's slowly filling in bit by bit but that Central Wake dryslot will just not give up the ghost.

Yea we'll see, if Raleigh lucks out on that, we will be right on the razor far western edge, which is what the models have suggested for days. We'll see how the night unfolds. I'm still confident you'll do very well tonight. The tidewater area is going to get blitzed though. Most likely 12+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Knock on wood, but I don’t see any crazy ATL convection yet like the high res NAMs were showing. Looks like a solid fetch in to the HWY 17 corridor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
