Cloud cover moving in during the morning could be a huge help tomorrow. Noticed the Nam has thick cloud cover over WNC by 12Z. Temps for the most part max out area wide 38-42. Certainly a big difference from hitting 50.
Is it only me or do the sleet/frz rain issues seem a little odd in this setup? I’ve lived in WNC my whole life and I can’t think of too many times a low in that position had a ton of sleet or frz rain mixing in. Usually just rain or snow and no in between with sharp gradients.
Everybody take a deep breath on these OP runs. These are the same models that have squashed multiple systems this season only to bring them back within 48-72 hrs. They’re also the same models that have swung from 60s to 30s and back and forth for highs less than 4-5 days out.
The cold has been 7-9 days away every day since Thanksgiving. I said that Saturday but got blasted. Not trying to be pessimistic, I wish it would snow as much as the next person but I’ll believe the pattern when I see it.
Sorry yall. My multiple winter storm warnings this year with only wet grass to show for it, is starting to make me lose my mind. I don’t mean to sound so pessimistic. Not used to taking so many L’s in western NC. Give me a few days and I’ll be back on the wagon!
I’ve now seen a couple Mets mention that overall, things are looking colder than what the models are initializing at. They’re saying more snow and sleet may be in store than frz rain, so let’s see.
Yep I agree. I don’t think there’s going to be much to show for this storm. My DP and temps already match at 32. I don’t see us getting lower than 32 at any point tonight now.
