FoothillsNC Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 LOL he actually did lose a call with a 703 area code. I believe that is Charlotte. I heard that call from n. CLT. DT had north and west of CLT in mostly snow, if I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazaroo Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Canadian sounded pretty good on the weekend storm according to dt on the radio show if I interpreted what he said correctly for some wintry this weekend. we will see I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SFC low in NW SC with cold air probably NW NC at that time, heavy qpf amounts in the carolinas and right at the end it may be going over to snow in parts of NC but overall we need to see the surface low and cold air futher south, imo. Time for this to change some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wow Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 703 is Northern VA. 704 is CLT. indeed, as i have lived in both area codes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 I heard that call from n. CLT. DT had north and west of CLT in mostly snow, if I recall. Yeah he actually did take a CLT call I had my area code wrong for the one he lost after that. Anyway it looks like the key element for us is what happens with the energy in the upper Midwest. It definitely preserved the initial phasing though which is the best sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewall Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Yeah didnt DT say that we should hope that the high in the upper midwest to drop in on the shortwave or something like that? Well he was saying the 500mb low off the PAC NW coast is preventing the northern stream from really diving in with some energy. For us in the south what we would want to see is a real solid parent high at the surface right over Ontario/Western NY. That would be our cold air feed in optimal conditions.

WeatherNC Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 What time does the euro come out? 130? 0z starts around 1am, and should be out to 5 days by 1:30... Shoving all in on an OTS track atm, but the lack of cold via a parent high is a sig reason for concern. hr 108 broad area of low pressure 1008 off the se coast, looks to be sliding ots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought that may be the case, but heard 114 has a weak 1004mb low 100 miles east of Hatteras, so we will see... hr 120 is sub 1000 low 350 east of norfolk, no precip really gets abv va/nc line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most storms that effect western NC with heavy snow, will not effect areas north of southeast VA and the lower Delmarva with heavy precip.http://raleighwx.americanwx.com/hickory.html Most storms that effect eastern NC with heavy snow, will not effect areas north of southeast VA and the lower Delmarva with heavy precip. http://raleighwx.americanwx.com/raleigh.html I could care less about being "giddy," as a major winter storm within 5 hours of here is .

WeatherNC Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 What did the Euro have to say about the Thursday system? Surface track along 40 based on the 72 hr graphic from Allan's site, but 850's are in the 4C range at that point. This is the 48 hr H7 RH and 850T graphic from Plymouth at 48hrs.. and 850 RH at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
