This is a hybrid system. The GFS snow map has two areas of snow. The first over Central NC is driven ONLY by the upper level energy as it moves across the state. (unlike last storm the dewpoints start in the mid 20s) then a coastal low pops and Eastern NC gets in on it as well.
What we would like to see is a deeper trough that goes neutral sooner. This will pop a low sooner and closer to the coast. ANd then its go time.
BUT we don't want as much dig and positive tilt as EURO. It forces a low to pop way to far north, We need the energy to be held back just enough. This is a threading of the needle

EPS only had a couple good hits for eastern NC and central NC. Gotta wait and see how the flow sets up.
If this pans out to be a decent hit statewide then I'm all for feb being a torch!!!! Who can complain about 2 decent snows and a record breaking week of cold? I would be fine calling winter over after next week if it snows.

Yeah and a full blown coastal storm isn’t out of the question. But if this pans out a solid 3-6 across much of the state is possible. Shoot anything else we get is icing for Greenville.
Nice squall line headed NNE and about the pass through all of ENC soon.
3.12 inches of rain at my house today.
Nothing but pissy drizzle most of the day here. I've still got snow in my subdivision if you can believe it. I guess it's waiting on more snow to join it.
Yeah it’s a miller B with origin low coming down in the Colorado area. The power of this storm is the massive upper level energy swinging around the vortex in the Great Lakes area. PLENTY of energy to work with and cold.
If I get another 3-4", I will be ready for spring and summer so I can play in my new toy at the beach. This. I will have had my snow fun if this next one happens.

The setup is a classic NC wide snow event with the main piece of energy diving in over the 4 corners and crossing south of NC and then popping a coastal.....how hilarious would it be if the storm hits right when that fake event pranked last week called for lol....

That would be hilarious. After his post earlier this week, DT would lose his ever loving mind.
