Beginning late tonight we should see the precip enter the area from the west and south on a little quicker timetable than first thought. As I mentioned this morning, that will provide a longer window for wintry precip on the front end of this storm. I think that the NWS has decided to issue an advisory from Durham west, and there may even be enough snow toward morning for that to be extended into Wake county as well, certainly no farther east, though. This will be the line where the mix of rain and snow starts. Precip is expected to be light thru tomorrow morning as a lot of precip will go toward moistening the column. If there were some decent bands of precip though, there could be some bursts of nice snow. Worst (best) case scenario is an inch to at most two as you head west.
Then Friday morning, as i’ve said, most everyone gradually progresses from snow to rain/snow to freezing rain to rain. And the rain coming in the afternoon and evening could be heavy so there’s likely to be some minor flooding. Then Sat morning we’re back to the question of the elusive wraparound snow or not. Most all the models have been consistent in showing at least some. So we’ll follow that trend tomorrow.
Mike, I do believe that’s what she said. (sorry, too good to pass up)
