00z runs were all solid, no real change and models seem pretty locked in as to what we should expect. Here’s the forecast map I did for our weather page.
Green is mostly rain but changing to snow on the backside. Dusting to an inch and locally higher.
Light blue is 1-3” with 4” possible near the Durham area.
Pink is the battle zone with 2-5” and locally higher 6+ possible in northern areas of this zone.
Dark blue is 5-8” with the lucky winner getting 10” or so.
MHX finally pulls the trigger on some stronger wording....Pitt CO and the 264 corridor look to jackpot....
.SHORT TERM /6 PM THIS EVENING THROUGH 6 PM FRIDAY/... As of 320 AM Thurs...Winter Storm Warnings are now in effect for much of the area, with Winter Weather Advisories continuing for the rest of Eastern NC except for Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands, as confidence has increased on a more widespread moderate snow event with snow totals of 4-6 inches expected generally north of the Neuse River and then spreading east to the Alligator River. With some mesoscale banding expected to develop in this area, locally heavier snow amounts of 6-10 inches are possible. Further to the south and east, initially warm temps both aloft and at the surface will limit snow totals as the changeover to snow will be delayed until 10 pm or midnight (There could be a few hour period of sleet along and south of US 70 early tonight). Still amounts of 1-2 inches are expected with some locally higher amounts of 2-4 inches possible.
