FoothillsNC Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 The best precip event of the year (and since November) here. Got .83". Still very impressed with our chances in most of NC this next event, with no dry slot worries and just a ton of moderate, steady rain streaming northeastward and a slow duration event.

We've got a couple interesting setups. First next week but both models play that one down as a low may or may not develop on the Arctic front. Usually doesn't help us this side of the Apps. The next one is another s/w diving into West Texas, and we have full arctic air coverage by then...but actually could be too cold (supressed). Considering how the models overdo the cold, I like our chances (so far) on that one. Just think what could have been on the big Gulf overrunning storm Fri and early Saturday...its going to be a big soaker around here, too bad there's no High in the Ohio Valley or NE with this one.

Yea it's the Tues - Wed frontal passage storm the GFS has had for a few runs now. On the 6z it popped a low when the front passed through and really threw back some moisture to us...will it happen? Probably not but hey at least it has something. The story of our lives, this storm Friday and Saturday thankfully doesn't look to fall apart just a solid ran for everyone on our side.....that almost NEVER happens when it's a winter threat. Somehow it ends up a cluster with some winning huge and others just getting screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oconeexman Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 1.6" at my house and the temp held steady at 40-41°. Warm air is finally taking over now but for the event it was a pretty strong wedge as far as staying power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Ended up with .16" of rain at KRDU. Another FAIL in the rain department. But it is really nice today! I walked to class this morning in a 63 degree wind-driven drizzle and it felt good! Now it's 66 and the sun has come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 jealous much? I am. I've been wanting for a long time one of those really cold outbreaks we haven't seen in many years. It's really dissappointing to see such a cold widespread airmass not make it here. Although we do get the fringe effects, The fact it doesn't as a whole is pretty incredible to me. Picked up 1.60 last night. Even had some lightning which was nice. Could end up with 3 or 4 inches by the time this next system is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bingcrosbyb Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Joe Bastardi saying blowtorch after February. Per accuweather: Joe Bastardi stated Tuesday that storms hitting the eastern half of the nation will trend warmer in the period beyond mid-February into part of March in the eastern part of the nation. "That would mean more rain events over snow events," Bastardi said. "Before the end of February, Washington, D.C., will hit 70 and Dallas will hit 80 degrees," Bastardi added Tuesday afternoon. Joe is calling for a "big flip" in the weather pattern across the U.S. in a couple of weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Well, I'm glad to see that JB can finally predict spring. He's been calling for this warm-up so long, eventually it had to happen. I enjoy reading his columns, but this has not been one of his better winters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 1.09" overnight with a total of 1.32" for the storm... So far so good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeznado Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 One thing I do not like about the pattern after this last storm- yes the temps will be gorgeous but it looks like the chances of any rain are pretty much nil for most of the rest of the month- on the Euro and GFS ensembles it is bone dry through the period. I hope this is not the first sign of the delayed La Nina drought..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last nights EURO showed a big warmup towards the end of its range with +12 850mb temperatures all of the Carolinas (outside of the mountains) up into southeast Virginia and even up into the mid-Atlantic coast. It even has an area of +16 over eastern North Carolina at 216hrs. It's probably overdone, but a lot of areas around here could be well into the 70's late next week into next weekend.

eyewall Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ugh I guess I am the only one dreading the warm up. It is too damn early to end winter. We get plenty of heat around here. I was hoping we could at least get to March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weather Czar Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Agree!! Ready for some baseball here!! Same here. While I would like one more big storm in March. I am ready to get outside. The 50 plus degree days since Nov have been few and far between. My driveway is a mess and the cost of gas is very high. Ready to work outside in the evenings with baseball on the xm.

Tacoma Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 well guys i'm with you, the warm up looks nice but not ready for winter to end and we all know winter can last into april. i was reading where the NAO may go negative after next week. is there any truth to that, can someone see that far ahead, still want to see another snowstorm or two. we've had 21 inches officially at the airport but most areas around have seen more, would like to break all time record which i think would be 41 for the season, we came close last year.
