February 18-19 MAJOR Ice Storm Threat
PackGrad05 replied to NorthHillsWx's topic in Southeastern States
Latest WPC guidance shows roughly 20 - 70% chance of .10" across Wake from southeast to northwest. Slightly lower for .25"- 970 replies

So do we expect NWS to scale back their advisories/watches based on latest model output or let it ride?- 970 replies

Wake was and always has been on the edge of this. Northwest/northern wake to face the brunt with southern Wake being spared the worst hopefully.- 970 replies

There may be minor tweaks here and there to amounts and area coverage, but at this point it doesn't matter a whole lot. Everyone in the watch/advisory area should make preparations and just hope for the best.- 970 replies

If it happens, it would likely be in the morning package.- 970 replies

As others have mentioned, Brad P's latest video was definitely eye opening... And his in-house future cast is showing more ice for more of NC than other models I've seen. Mike Maze for WRAL did a video earlier too but he just mentioned the chance of something and more details later. Their future cast wasn't as robust.- 970 replies

I think Wake will get a WWA probably tonight or tomorrow morning.- 970 replies

Cold air source will be much better. Circulation around the high should be transporting air from cold snow-packed areas.- 970 replies

I agree. Which is why people need to specify a location they are referring to with each post. It is complicated trying to go back and figure out which place people are talking about. For now, I would go with a FZRA event for typical climo areas. I do think WWA will go up southeast of the current WSW areas. Question is, how far?- 970 replies

That NAM looks a little colder. Almost identical though- 970 replies

Latest models look interesting for Wake too. I don't think it will be a bad event (as of now) for Wake, but looks to have more potential than the last rounds. May get a WWA out of it.- 970 replies

18Z NAM looks almost identical to ECMWF, perhaps less QPF... but placement looks similar

All last week most folks were saying that the signal for the mid-week storm looked stronger than the weekend systems. We've known all along there would be something to track this week. It doesn't look like it will be snow, but still have a system.
-
About 20% of the time it is. But, as ILMRoss mentioned above, it takes a specific set of variables to occur.
-
Definitely looks like another traditional CAD area storm. As sick as I am of rain, I'll continue taking it over that stuff. Unless this trends differently, I don't see anything (currently) to track for my area for the next 7-10 days.
-
My portion of Wake county has 0 according to HRRR. I hope it stays that way! It's a stout wedge for sure.
-
That map makes me sick. Poor southeast.
-
I believe the WPC probabilistic guidance is based on computer model output... I could be wrong though.
-
Still too much uncertainty in the data to jump to high numbers. They always start on the low end and increase the numbers over time if the data warrants it.
-
Way too early for absolutes. Allan Huffman's latest tweets were well worded, in my opinion.
-
It's hard to keep up with all the different scenarios over the next 4 days. Would be a shame if my area got blanked (with cold rain again again again). I want access to a site with more models. What's the best site to pay for premium models? (EPS, ECMWF, etc...)
-
The fly in the ointment with all this is A. appalachian mountains B. dense cold air. Overall, the cold air is very cold, but also very dense and shallow. It has a hard time making it past the Apps (unless you have a perfectly placed high), and even then, is shallow. = ice opportunities.
-
I agree. Models have been struggling with the cold all along.
-
Turned into a typical CAD, if taken verbatim from ECMWF. mby, southern wake, cold rain.
-
The extent and strength of the CAD. I meant to say overestimated.
