buckeyefan1 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 thats a cool high for you, no? what was your forecast. We made it to 42. I saw some low 50s in the TV markets here for today. I need to go back and correct my dyslexic fingers That is supposed to be 54 This is what happens when I've not had enough sleep...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 looks like another massive bust on temps for Sunday in the piedmont of NC. Local TV markets have 59 in CLT for Sunday. GFS says upper 30s to low 40's. I admit it's been hard to forecast beyond 72 hours with these in-situ damming events. This one looks pretty typical though from 60 hours out, and still there are some 60 degree highs forecast here Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All models have done poorly with CAD here. Atleast GFS catches on pretty quickly now. Send the repairman to Euro weeklies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tnweathernut Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I think this map is a good example of they weight of cold air. From a few days ago iirc, the maps were only showing 30s for a good chunk of Kentucky. In looking at the current map you can see much of Kentucky in the 20s, and even some teens for extreme northern KY. Just thought it was interesting and shows what can happen with a shallow layer of cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Local Yokel Wx Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Did anyone in WNC see any sleet overnight? I woke up to some light sleet on my elevated porch and window of the car. Temp got down to 31.5 around midnight. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 nice rainy evening. Thunderstorms tomorrow in the Southeast, then strong damming Sunday after the backdoor front moves through, causing a damming event down to eastern/ne GA. Much of interior NC will drop into the upper 30's Sunday and hold there, even lower 30's for northern NC with strong damming event. Sunday is the day that a week ago looked like lower 70's in the Carolinas was possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Any Ice in N.NC tomorrow night? My sister lives near Staunton Va. just text me said it was snowing their but it's suppose to turn to ice. Its going to be very close for the northern tier of Counties after tomorrow night, when the backdoor front comes through, and toward early Sunday morning. The GFS has dewpoints and temps around 33 for areas north of Greensboro most of the day, which is a close call, but probably not good enough for ice. For VA currently they are embedded much colder air , surface and aloft, but warming aloft will commence soon there, turning snow to sleet to ice, then rain south of central VA, until the system passes and a new high builds down tomorrow night and Sunday. Watch the GFS tonight to see how it shows the temps and damming Sunday. What are your current forecast highs Sunday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid 30's tomorrow night, and SUNDAY...A SLIGHT CHANCE OF FREEZING DRIZZLE IN THE MORNING. CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF RAIN SHOWERS. MUCH COOLER WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 40S.

You shouldn't get much higher than mid to upper 30s. I'd say 36 to 38 for most of the day. The high will be 12:01 Sunday AM, and down from there.

Sunday is the day that a week ago looked like lower 70's in the Carolinas was possible. Yeah Sunday is now supposed to be 42 for a high here but Sunday nights low is only forecast to be 41. In fact my forecast is another 7 day period without reaching 32 or below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsaur Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Picked up another .2 since dusk, with some short lived, but very tropical, heavy downpours. I'm liking this frontispiece to this latest rain book T Edit: Thanks, Justin. The new year has been better for sure. Gets me to 2.34 for the year, and tomorrow brings the big stuff, I hope. And next Sat. is looking great...if it happens, at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I hope I can make it down to 30-31 but I doubt it, the ole 33 and rain.... 33 and drizzle more like it. The precip looks like drizzle. The upper levels are actually pretty cold in west and northern NC Sunday at +2. Surface damming is classic and strong with a 1032 high in the Northeast all day, feeding low level damming. Temps still look on target for mostly upper 30s down toward CLT to mid 30s GSO region. Hard to see low 40's in your area, then again if its like my area, I'm sure the forecasts never go low enough in damming. GFS just can't be beat in NC on surface temps, esp. in damming.

CandymanColumbusGA Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Whelp, we just hit our high temperature in Columbus! Temperatures have been rising all night and we've climbed to 63. It's interesting to note, our record minimum temperature January 21st is 63. I think we'll manage to get below that but with dew points in the upper 50s to low 60s we won't fall much below it.
