BIG FROSTY Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 it looks to me that it briefly starts as rain or maybe sleet and then switches over to snow in time for a pretty big snow. someone correct me if im wrong. Appreciate it Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Was the GFS to warm up here in N.Foothills NC for Saturday ? This actually looks like a good track for western NC, including you in the northern foothills, on the Global, per the 12 & 18z run. Areas to the west of a Charlotte to Danville line would likely be in the SN verbatim, as that would be to the NW of the 850 track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Offically the high today at PGV was 32 for about a hr so its been below freezing since 5pm yesterday and prolly wont go above freezing until late morning tommorrow at the earliest so that will be 36+ hrs below freezing not bad for this time of year. Current dp is -4 has been at or below 0 since 8 am this morning. Sucks that the end result of this cold snap is gonna be a snow to rain event Thursday At least the snow ( what little we get) shouldnt have any trouble sticking.

Lookout Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 So everyone here along with the models show potential (however low) for some type of wintry event for this weekend. Then I go and read FFC's disussion and they're talking about instability possibilties and "ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE ON SATURDAY". What am I missing? Because most are talking about north carolina, not georgia. Other than maybe some back end flurries/light snow showers, The odds of north Georgia seeing anything wintery out of this is pretty low. It would take some big changes for us to get anything other than rain. Despite being several days out, this seems unlikely given relatively good model agreement for so far out. The only exception might be the extreme north ga mountains near the nc border. They might get in on it but by far most of us won't..at least as it stands right now.

Yeah....I know its unlikely for our neck of the woods....just thought that discussing thunderstorm possibility doesn't really fit with the setup.

Dinnertime Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 What is up with the winds still gusting over 30 here in the Raleigh NC area at almost 8 pm tonight?? Forecast was that winds would die off by now but its windier now than anytime the past two days. Past two hours we have gusted over 32mph..

You do realize that Upstate SC got less snow than virtually everywhere else in the southeast last year right? Maybe you should try a different mojo avatar this year....

superjames1992 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 My Carolina Crusher avatar has been doing some good mojo for me. Since I joined this forum in February 2009 (well, it was Eastern then), I've gotten three 5.5"+ events and, in total, have received about 29" of snow!

January 24th and 25th added up to more snow than I've had since... the winter of 2004-2005 until now. Maybe it will appease us and be reincarnated.

rduwx Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 The 12z euro has a system in the SE at hr 192 (12/23)...Slides off the SC/Ga. coast at hr 198...Temps look decent also. Ends up wide right at hr 210 (12/24) and does not climb the coast but looks like a good possibility. The gfs has been hinting at a storm during this time frame also. Something to at least keep an eye on. Would be nice to have a storm right at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
