Just out of curiousity...........
Are there any indications that the late week storm for Raleigh, NC could end up being a MECS???? Also I have heard that the precip will start late Wednesday night and Thursday. Any clues when it will start?? Thanks!!!

Re: So I guess for Raleigh, NC..........
No right now it looks like we may not see anything. By supressed they mean the precip will stay south of us.NCGal wrote:this upcoming event will just be a rainmaker?????

Latest ETA paints a deformation zone with tons of snow from GSP-CLT-FAY. Looking at the what could be the perfect set-up fro heavy snows here in the Piedmont.
Looks like a serious of low pressure waves come across SC, with each ones passage colder and colder air comes in. Then on Wednesday night a low takes the ideal track through central and southern SC while a nice 1038mb high feeds cold air south. The high sets up right over the great lakes, again great place for wedging.
Sounding looks isothermal from 950mb and up and nice deformation zone set-up along the I-85 corridor from NE GA to NC. UVV looks off the charts and QPF paints 1” liquid from Wednesday night to Thursday morning.
Then the energy shifts to the NC coast where some nice wrap around moisture could give some snow showers back over SC and NC.
Lot’s of ifs, but this is a nice set-up and pattern for big snows in the Carolinas if it all pans out. Either way quite an active Southern branch for this entire week.

Brad, would you cut the QPF charts on the ETA in half? It's printing out absolutely incredible numbers for my locale(55MM). I cannot even begin to imagine that much snow. I cant even wrap my mind around something like that.
