DAWGNKITTEN Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 After the sleet went through, went back up to 42, now sitting at 43 and still raining some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 its not as heavy now, but it was really coming down hard for a few minutes. first official frozen precip imby this year - lets hope we get more looks like there might be one more batch about to move through well thats a good sign for tomorrows event when the next slug of moisture comes your way, with much colder air than you have currently. I'm still mostly going for rain in the Upstate toward my area since the cold air fades some and what moisture we get comes in the mid afternoon, but if it arrives very early , or much later we have a better chance. Keep an eye on the radar tomorrow. Looks like the colder air at 850 is coming into Ne Ga right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach McGuirk Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 More cutoff lows like this would be very nice for the east coast in the coming months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Now up to 1.71 in Weaverville. Still continue to get some wind gusts over 25 at the tree tops. As has been posted....the most startling thing to me is a 10+ degree temp. drop in the last 4 hrs with a general SE wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 WOW!! I'm only at .36. Erwin, Tn is at .28 and Unicoi, Tn is at .39. What a difference a few miles make. I knew I was out of this event before it started. I've seen it to many times with rain coming from the south/southwest. Oh well, maybe some flurries tomorrow !! Big time downsloping going on here today. It was 64 this AM while it was 39 in Memphis. What a gradient! Many times here, when SLPs spin those bands over the mountains the rain will literally stop at the top. It's a pretty interesting phenomenon here and we can get it from the Cumberland Plateau as well. It's similar to a rain shadow. It has been damp, but barely raining in Kingsport today. Raining now though. Downsloping is a royal pain in the a$$ when winterstorms spin bands over the mountains. It can cut snow totals by 75% here. Not only does it cut qpf, the compressing of the air warms up the temp like a chinook. Most weather models will catch this now which is pretty cool.

DaculaWeather Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 My GRL3 is showing those winds over Clayton at ~14k ft is moving away from the radar at about 60 knots.

Gastonwxman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Definitely cooler out here compared to how it felt a couple of hours ago along with slightly stronger wind gusts here. Down to 52 with more moderate/heavy rain. It's been a nice day to just stay inside and watch this thing evolve. Good stuff and enjoying every moment tracking it.

Heavy rain, just passed the 1" mark. Radar looks good for another .75" , which is about what I'm going for total wise. (1.75") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 just heard something weird and went out to check - SLEET! edited to add: temp is 39. it looked like a few flakes were trying to mix in, but i didnt see an official snow flake Sweet! temp is 41 now and sleet just started coming down here too, pretty hard. Awesome! 7.13 inches temp 40 Wow! I hope the flooding isn't bad. I picked up .16 with the first little batch that came through. The big rain is finally here and it looks like I will surpass that elusive .25 mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1.75") If you have a little extra time tonight Robert and would not mind, please explain more about how CAA works so strongly on SW winds. Here in DAlton GA we dropped over 20 degrees since this morning under S and SW winds all day and are now in the 30s. No W winds no NW winds just S and SW!

AcworthWx Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Well, I'm officially in the 30's. 39.3 in MBY with W winds(slight). Just waiting here for the ULL to make more of eastward movement and deliver some of those wraparound bands you see on the radar in W Ten. I'm getting a bit impatient. Edit: Just checked and I've got 1.52" so far. Temp is still holding steady,but the DP is falling, currently at 32. Winds changed direction as well, now from the North Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is how it was supposed to be all along, the cold air wrapped around the strong cutoff so strongly that the warm conveyer and moisture wrapped from the Carolinas westand northwest bound around to KY and Arkansas, meanwhile now the cold is tucking underneath the system into Ms.Al.Ga. Its happened before where the cold comes in from the southwest, instead of the usual nw. Remember this is a strong cutoff, so thats how the flow is. I know its an odd feeling, and tomorrow the folks in the central and western Carolnas will probably awaken to sunny skies and a strong southwest winds and incoming colder air.

Although I guess somehow I pictured it switching to the N after the Low moved by! Idk it is a very Odd feeling to have A 20_ degree drop in SW winds. I will def. remember this one for a while! What an interesting Storm not to mention the 6+ inches it dropped on us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gastonwxman Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Didn't expect to see GSP put this out for my area. Then again, I didn't rule out the possibility that some areas across the foothills and western piedmont could see some flakes: Tuesday Night: A slight chance of rain showers, mixing with snow after 9pm, then gradually ending. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 33. Southwest wind between 7 and 10 mph. Chance of precipitation is 20%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Looks like the chance for our area will be from 2pm til about 7 pm according to RUC and NAM now. Tomorrow will be interesting here, with sunny start and strong sw (cold) winds then the sudden arrival of the next wave and "precipitation" mid afternoon. Then a clear, starry night.
