Jan 17-18 Sunday Funday Storm

[Brick Tamland]

GFS looks like it went NW again, but still mostly rain.

Well, the GFS is much improved for the Upstate and Midlands. Look at S-Central GA.

Grasping at straws here people. Let it go. It’s over. 

[olafminesaw]

It helps that sun angle is still relatively low and ground temps should be fairly cold with how cold it's been.

Another tick north on the Euro

[Leesville Wx Hawk]

RDU about 34-35 degrees when snow falling per NAM.  If it comes down hard enough, an inch or so isn’t completely out of the question.  There’s a key 3 hour window to get things done.  European had similar temps.  GFS was warmer.  Going to have to thread the needle here but a coating to 1 inch isn’t out of the question in some areas.

Hmm...

[olafminesaw]

I think he could very well be right, if as usual cold air takes longer than expected to bleed over the mountains. However,I do feel we could overcome with decent rates and get a coating or so as far SE as RAH

[WXNewton]

Just an observation on both the GFS and Euro that might still give a little hope for some on Sunday. If you trend either one of them back to yesterday morning they were showing very little to almost zero moisture for the first disturbance that is currently pushing through TN and KY. The radar at the moment is way more robust than what those models were showing 36 hrs ago, the most recent runs now depict that moisture really well. I believe we will see something very similar with Sunday's precip as we get through tomorrow's run and get within 8- 12 hrs of any potential moisture.

Tonight's runs could be interesting after all

 All runs are interesting to me but 0Z and 12Z will have recon’s data as extra input.

It's been going on for decades!

[DeltaPilot]

You’ve peaked my interest

[BooneWX]

I know none of you personally but love all of you virtually. This thread has been nothing but a basket case and it wouldn’t be fun any other way. Biggest improvement with SouthernWX s creation is moving the egos and the “stay on topic” boys that used to be on this board there and making this a truly unhinged, unmitigated, anarchist discussion.  

[wncsnow]

It's still just east of Charlotte but has moved Nw some. Not as much as I hoped looking around H5

[wncsnow]

I'm probably crazy but I don't think its quite over for I 85 crowd and maybe us foothills fanatics
