First… it looks like the convection along the Gulf Coast didn’t do too much damage to moisture transport with the developing coastal low. And, the upper level energy sweeping across the state looks to be over performing a bit on general light snow for the state. Many locations across Wake Co. are approaching 2″ as of 4pm with several hours of snow still to go. We’re probably looking at a range of 2-4″ across the county with maybe some lucky 5″ totals in the eastern parts of the county. The heaviest snow axis for the state will run in a line from Wake Co. north and east to the Nashville to Elizabeth City. Again, totals in the northern coastal plain will approach a foot.
Final thought… the GFS (American medium range model) had a handle on this system from the get-go. Props to the GFS. It has been steady on the non-phased, weaker solution from over a week ago. The Euro has consistently superior skill scores the aggregate, but this time the GFS wins. #Merica
P.S. I forgot to mention an addition, quick round of snow showers will swing thru tomorrow (Thursday) morning. It shouldn’t be anything to be concerned over. Just more pretty snow with perhaps a dusting of accumulation. Past that, we’re done with all the winter weather mischief until the first week of March, when things get interesting again.
Enjoy your snow cream!
