HWY316wx Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 your winds are probably going se now, right? I'm not sure where you're at but I know theres going to be a switch to se winds in part of NE Ga overnight. I am in Dacula, GA about 2 miles from daculaweather.com My winds are calm but have come and gone out of the S - SE. Looking around at other observations, you are correct... E - SE winds.

Carvers Gap Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Pretty neat event. Here are some wetbulbs from 7pm. The surface map still has a high centered near DC, and this is keeping air piled up against the mountains tonight, with dewpoints still in the teens there, giving them low wetbulbs as well. On the west side of the Apps, stronger southwest flow is pulling in juicy warmer air. It's difficult to tell (mainly because it feels cold), but downslope winds might be propping that temperature up as well. The winds will be switching soon when that front roars through - which is looking pretty potent at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MountainMarvel Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Down to 34 here. Most likely won't hold up. Cloudy. Still no wind. Ready for the..... ahhh... rain??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Down to 34 here. Most likely won't hold up. Cloudy. Still no wind. Ready for the..... ahhh... rain??? I'm 40. My winds turned mostly east over the last hour, went from 38 to 40. Your wetbulb is down there, probably 34 or so, maybe 33. That area is another close call as well. The new NAM is no help, its been back and forth. Technically a smidge too warm for snow in NC but only by a degree or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I just looked at the Nams 2m Dewpoints forecast,and started with initialization. Its off substantially over Ne Ga up through western SC and NC foothills/mts. and esp. the NC mtns. By 3 to 5 degrees. That probably explains its low level warmer temps in the forecast. Actual obs shows plenty of teens dewpoints in ne Ga to western NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I am seeing alot of sleet for the southern Mtns. Southwest of Asheville, What do you think Robert? Id say some sleet but mixed with snow. To keep the sleet going I 'd think you need a continual supply of dry air, but probably will have limited amounts of that. But could go back and forth for several hours until it goes over to snow. Of course it could be a lot rain mixed in too, for some areas I think all 3 will fall. I'll be glad to get this storm over with, its been a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kvegas-wx Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Hey weenies, I'm here in Norfolk with my relatives from Burnsville that need to travel back tomorrow. Debating an early start in the morning but they won't hit the mountains until 3-4 pm. Any best guesses from you mountain folks that live at elevation? Any current observations? I know we have some Burnsville board members here. Absolutely pouring here on the coast of VA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drfranklin Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 37 degrees here with a DP of 27 near downtown Greenville, SC - my Vantage Vue is now predicting "snow possible but not likely" for the next 12 hours (if that means anything LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 My radar should be fun to watch tonight as it has all the metars plotted on the screen. Link to my radar is in the Pinned topic at the top of our Southeaster section. Plus the metars usually update more than once per hour so when you loop the image you can see temp and wind and weather obs change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 I think you are in a good spot. I do too. I think SW NC has the hardest time eroding any low level cold air tonight or tomorow morning, should be the last place to go if it happens. The question is will it be cold enough aloft. All models paint about .75" qpf from the front over there, so if its snow, its a decent one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Rain mixed w/ sleet...Yes, I went out and confirmed that. Plus, you can hear it hit the leaves. Temp is 45 F - still can't believe it. Probably will head to all rain in(edit) a few minutes though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All models paint about .75" qpf from the front over there, so if its snow, its a decent one. If it's not cold enough aloft yet cold enough at the surface, it could be a heck of a ZR/IP storm.

Enjoy that sleet, it probably will go to rain overnight, but then watch out for an awesom upslope event by this time tomorrow. Yeah, it looks like our frontal wintry chances have gone out the window, but maybe we can switch at the very end and pick up an inch or so..........not holding my breath though. That said, looks like we should do well when the upper level support comes through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live right below Newnan Ga which is right south of Atlanta. Thanks I wouldn't rule out a few flakes that far south, but more to your north, and exponentially at that. If you could take a drive north of Atlanta you'd be guaranteed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilj4425 Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Aren't you Coreytucker? I thought he was going to tell us it would snow a foot because more worms are coming out of the ground. Can't forget about the deer urine either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
