;) Possibly RS. The key for Raleigh though is how cold does it get in Raleigh. Western North Carolina is guaranteed to see over one foot of snow tomorrow night into Friday morning. This includes the Ashville area. It may end up being 1-3" of snow south and east of Raleigh into Jefferson County, NC and 3-6" north and west of Raleigh. It could be more or less. But this is just preliminary.

As for Virginia, the key to that forecast is how far north the precip gets up to. It could be that we end up with nearly 6" of snow in Danville, VA and 2-3" in the tidewater. But this is an early estimate and the key is how far north the precip gets and also the amount of cold air in place. The colder temps will likely be inland from the coast. Yet southeast Virginia appears cold enough to snow and accumulations are a possibility Thursday night into Friday!!!

I'll keep ya updated rs!! :)

Well this is my first posted here,

But anyways it looked likes winter is just about over for people in my region of the United States. It has been rainly around here lately with temps hove in the like the upper 30 and lower 40's. It's looks like an some has an low forming off the coast this thursday as well.

However due to the new data that is in by the models it looks like the low will be placed towards the east and stay in the ocean in VA. Meaning that VA will get flurries it that.

It seems that Philadelphia is the Screwed zone for storms this year it seems that most of the storms comes to far east and to far south for Philadelphia to get snow. In the ones that does hover over Philadelphia the air in Philly is to dry low DEW POINTS and low RH means dry slots in the precipitations field.
