As much as everyone wants to hear the latest… the latest is that what I outlined yesterday still looks good to me tonight.

I can see concerns for bust potential above and below my current forecast.  My thoughts on Wake Co. follow, but really they are applicable to the wider region…

• bust big?… there will be a period of heavy snow after the initial onset of precip which quickly cycles thru rain to sleet to snow.  some models say there could be as much as 6-8″ in that initial hit.  so, you’d have that and then sleet and then frz rain.
• bust small?… fears of the warm tongue penetrating earlier and more pronounced would limit the initial accumulation of snow and changeover precip to sleet and freezing rain much more quickly.

I’m going in the middle on this and holding firm to my forecast from yesterday.  The action starts overnight with snow beginning in earnest between 2 and 3am.  I’ll nowcast early morning with an update for how that tricky transition zone looks.
