Gastonwxman Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Left work late at 815 and there was already frost on the top of my car. Likewise here. In fact, spots on my yard are already frosting and I usually see that happening a little after midnight. Currently 30 and it's looking like the mid 20s could be the low range this go around.

dsaur Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 This is feeling like one of those roller coaster falls, where near record heat in places meets cold shots, and they do the severe dance until the cold gets locked in later on. I'd just as soon skip the severe, and get right into the day to day cold, or at least get some mitigating cad But I don't think the other day was the last chance for that kind of system.

Gastonwxman Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 27 for the low. The outside certainly reminds me of one those days where snow is about to move in. If only lol... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 27 for the low. The outside certainly reminds me of one those days where snow is about to move in. If only lol... Waking up to temps in the mid 30s with overcast skies and east winds this morning certainly reminded me of an impending winter event. I love these types of mornings. I so badly want a classic wedge/winter storm. So fun to track, so fun to try and nail down precip types and amounts, and so fun to watch it unfold. I hope this is the year we finally get one.

FoothillsNC Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 light drizzle here now..could have been some sleet if it began a little earlier. Not going to make the low 50s here I don't think. I'm forecasting 40's mostly in the western Carolinas, north Ga region. Even with light southerly or se flow the wetbulbs are too low and the latest GFS NAM have us in-situ wedged in. Right now 40.

MountainMarvel Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 It was 26 at 5 a.m., then the clouds moved in. Up to 29 by 7 a.m., then to 33 at 9 a.m., There was very heavy frost before sunrise, then a light mist fell, but didn't freeze. It melted the ice on the cars and eliminated the frost. Never saw any snow or sleet, but it seemed very possible. It's now 34, and the deck is still wet, as is everything else. No precip right now, but the clouds are still heavy. No wind. Here's a pic I made on Thursday morning while a light rain fell just to my north. Now I know why they call them the "Smokies". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Down to 24 this morning around 5 AM. Temp has risen to 35 at the moment. I love the cloudy look with the bare trees and cool temps. Definitely feels like winter/late fall. I'm loving the weather recently. Can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Still have the east wind, but the sun just popped out, so I guess the temps will be jumping up now. 53.9 at present. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T Same here, sun is out and 50 now. So I busted for the day. Anyway, the GFS now has a pattern change, still no block though, and I won't commit myself to believing it yet. But it carves out a mid continent trough, via strong PNA pattern, so if that happens we'll turn substantially colder in the states, including here. It's going to have trouble where the s/w are so don't pay too close attention to that snow it gives the Southeast just yet. Overall still a very active pattern, with more cold air thrown into the mix if its right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you told us not to get juiced over the end of the month snow, because I really wanted to believe, lol. Don't worry, I don't get antsy until after Xmas, but that said, if you start to agitate, then I'll get jumpy too Meanwhile, looks like some more boomers will drag through Tues./Tues. night. Here's hoping they won't be quit so energetic down this way, but will over produce in the rain department. I worry Candyman might be getting too much excitement FFC is trying to get us into the upper 70's again, and that is worrying. Just loving all the sw's in the stream, 'cause like I said, my best shot at cold is in the winter, and it ain't winter yet. Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
