  1. Just missed the heavier returns. An appetizer for this evening I hope
  2. 12z vs 18z soundings, slightly shallower, but holding strong
  3. The HRRR just keeps trending colder. I don't think it's out of the question the final band is mixed with sleet. In fact that is what it is showing on P-type map
  4. Perhaps, although we seem to be entering the dry slot now. May backfill a bit, but I think by 12-1pm precip will be very light until the backside band swings through. Maybe we get some sleet in that band as well (let's hope so)
  5. Yesterday's NAM was about 10 degrees too warm to current temp
  6. The QPF thing is upsetting because we could have easily had 3-4" of sleet had we gotten the moisture. Instead the heavy stuff waits until we flip to ZR
  7. HRRR showing low 20s in the triad as that band of heavy ZR comes through this evening. Pretty extreme stuff
  8. How is that even possible? Must be some kind of freezing drizzle showing up at ground at ground level
  9. That is just typical of this storm. Just barely over the line right as the precip starts
  10. Wet bulb temp https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb
  11. Nothing yet in South Greensboro. Moisture finally building in though
  12. It's a testament to the wedge how the column. Is slowly moistening but the dewpoint dropping.
  13. Even if it's not showing precip, freezing drizzle can still accumulate on surfaces
  14. Soundings are almost identical but the HRRR depicts differently on the precip type maps
  15. Models had been showing later for the heavy moisture to arrive. That dinnertime start time was likely based on light precip possibilities and also accounts for trying to get people off the road in case it starts early
  16. What makes me nervous is the Triad always is the coldest in wedge situations (even compared to 50 miles west), that last hand of heavy rain may come through with temps in the mid 20s. No bueno
  17. Over a third of the American population is now under a winter storm warning
  18. https://tinyurl.com/ypmmjduh Lots of fun data to play around with here
  19. This seems plausible with the possibility of that cutoff shifting north or south
  20. Unfortunately the dry slot may mean freezing drizzle early that would otherwise be sleet. In general global models struggle with QPF distribution,so while I don't think the cutoff of heaviest precip is nailed down, I would tend to disregard the way the globals broad brush uniform heavy precip
