    Wedge really building in at the end of the run

    The thing is, storm track doesn't make much of a difference, with the high locked in place. Of course, it's quite possible the models are overdoing the strength of the wedge, but I wouldn't count on it.

    At this point, it's equally important to track dewpoints and cloud cover throughout the day as it is to look at the models. Right now dewpoints are running a degree or two higher than the NWS forecast and some high clouds are moving towards the piedmont.

    Accuweather forecast is wild

    The trend is in part due to the shift of the heaviest axis of precip eastward. The model has stayed rock solid with temps, aside from adjustments to the periphery and this run did push the freezing line further south, with all of wake county getting in on the action

    Here's a trend loop for a blend of models over the past couple days of model cycles near peak storm

    I like how their scale includes up to 10"+. It's like they're allowing for the possibility of a day after tomorrow thing

    If you don't have generator, I would recommend going out and buying a camping stove. I think the ones that run on gasses other than propane can be used indoors if in a well ventilated area, but don't quote me on that.

    FRAM isn't a model, it's an algorithm that calculated true accrual of ice. It tends to be much more conservative than just straight accumulation maps.This is why it's concerning, because it will account for the portion of the rain that's just runoff.

    Drops .5" of precip in three hours with temps at 27 in grrensboro

    I dunno why. But wowzers. Those are some dynamics

    I'm on mobile, but the RGEM is as classic an ice storm signal as it gets. Temps don't rise about 30 in the triad for almost the entire event and over 1.5" of precip. The few factors working against significant icing: Rates are a bit heavier this go around and it will be fairly warm and sunny the day before. Also more of the precip will be during the day.

    FWIW the RGEM absolutely nailed the temps for the prior event at similar lead time: Here is what it is currently showing for the Thursday system:

    Also of note, the timing of the heaviest icing seems to be in the early morning hours

    Yeah, this is definitely a sleet sounding

    When we can't help but root for an ice storm, because it's all we've got:

    Although, it has actually overdone the wedge at times, with this past ice storm. It had us in the mid-20s during the heavy precip, I believe

    Meanwhile, all of texas is covered in winter storm watch/warning or advisory. Salt in wound
  24. olafminesaw
    Could be a bit of a re-freeze tonight
  25. olafminesaw
    Slug of heavier precip incoming. Looks like it may contain some sleet or such.
