It's going to be supressed, and RIC/Bob Chill gets the brunt of it.

That's a latent heat bomb across the Gulf and southeast states. It would 100% trend north if it were 120hrs out.

Congrats NC.

At least this storm shows the potential for Feb 11+

north carolina come on down!

Charlotte is not getting 46” of snow. And I don’t care what the gfs says for 72 hours let alone 300.

330 hour snow map is so unnecessary Potentials there and it’s 2 weeks out. All that matters atm

[bncho]

And then there's one last kick to the balls at the very end of the run. Maybe it'll climb up the coast. It's a normal GFS run, lol.

In long range GFS world, North Carolina is the new Jay Peak.

[Amped]

And the second storm just misses Atlanta with the jackpot, otherwise it would be 2 20"+ storms in 72 hrs. Has to be one of the most entertaining fantasyland runs in years.

Can we just start ignoring the op gfs?  Especially at lead times we shouldn’t be looking at any operational frankly.

Let the GFS dream of giving the South what the real world gave us in February 2010.

Euro Ai gives us 0.25" of precip in the next 16 days. Arctic desert.

It wasn’t far off from a couple systems swinging by, though. For whatever that’s worth. 
 

On another note, the regular Euro continues to be pretty unenthusiastic about any potential system next week

Atlanta getting 3 feet is 100% realistic, though.
