They've given up on determining whats falling out of the sky today. Haha

Precip hole to the SW of ATL proper starting to fill in on radar. Nothing reaching the ground in PTC as of this moment however. Temp 32° / DP 31.6°

12z run of the GFS trying its hardest to spin up a bonus LP for Monday/Tuesday. Not quite there but close...

Not weather related after further investigation

Sounds like a horrible disaster was lucky avoided at Hartsfield Jackson International Airport in ATL... https://x.com/ATLairport/status/187774110878607769 Update... this was not weather related.

Going to have to monitor temps in the ATL metro from here on out. Freezing rain a big concern now, IMO. Glazing on the pines has already started but I am seeing melting in my location.

Never seen sleet rates like this before. Wild

Approaching 2 inches here in Peachtree City. All sleet at the moment.

All FFC counties in the Winter Storm Watch upgraded to a Warning.

0z ICON with a general jog south on LP track for the duration of the event.

NWS FFC hoists their first map...

NWS GSP office currently posting tornado surveys with a winter storm imminent. Wild times we are in right now.

Our good friend Mr. Wetbulb will intervene

N Ga.... that's a Big Dawg run from the GFS

GFS, be a goodie and jog everything south about 50 miles...

Temps are a mess this run. Nothing is locking in the cold to the north. Rinse and repeat

Getting into fantasy land now but I liked the trends today for both storm chances.

2nd storm chance is really slow to eject east. Brutal cold locking in to its north... New Orleans blizzard? haha...

Next round is digging a lot further west at 180....

Its trying to plow into a very dry airmass offshore in the atlantic. Transfer of available moisture northward didn't happen that run though. Good trend for NC folks

Social media is about to light up with this run...

bit further west too ejecting out Canada

Out to 90 on the 0z and looks similar to 18z. Maybe a hair colder, similar moisture.
