Yep, the pattern looks a lot more favorable now that the GL low is no longer in play. Looks like a true miller A type storm incoming. I am still a little concerned with surface/850 temps, but as has been mentioned in previous posts, the confluence in the northeast is stout and should allow surface and 850 temps to trend colder as we approach the event. Now we wait to see how the trends develop over the next few days. Once we get inside the NAM's wheelhouse, we will get a better idea on thermal profiles. Until then, let's enjoy the tracking.

Yep! Time to start losing sleep awaiting the 0z Models to look for Clown Maps.

I do remember our December storm some wee calling clown maps but much of the storm verified. 

With as much moisture we are getting lately if you add cold air into the mix and our peak winter time this could be an historic winter coming.

The difference in the FV3 from the previous run is the high pressure doesn't lock in place in time and allows the low to move more north.  

I also came to post that it is amazing how the line (with CAD events) is always through Wake.  I'm convinced that there is a physical limit to the geographic extent that the cold air can intrude with an average CAD event and it is Wake Co.  Unless it is an anomalously strong High, the CAD just doesn't intrude all the way through the county.

I believe the difference is that the low is more amped up and 3mb lower in pressure. It's not as progressive. All that waa doesn't allow the confluence to remain in place, That could spell trouble for snow-lovers.

That may be true now, but there have definitely been events, even since 2000, where the CAD expanded much further south and east.

This is not a good pattern for a winter storm here. There is some cold air around and there is a storm system, but the heights are high over most of central and eastern North America. There's a big ridge right on the tail of this thing. While there is a cold high, we have limited confluence and a progressive pattern. More likely than not, we'll see the FV3 18z solution or worse.

I agree with you at this point. In order for us to score with this one, there needs to be more damming or a weaker system. An amped up storm with lots of qpf will not give us a winter storm with this pattern. Can it look better come game-time? yes but it's not what we want just yet.

About 28".

From official RDU records, 28.1 inches for 2000 calendar year: 25.8 in January, 2.2 in November, and 0.1 in December.

If you meant for the 1999 - 2000 winter, it was just 25.8, since there was nothing in December 1999 or February 2000.

Interestingly, 1999 was a complete shut-out: 0.0 inches.
