jrips27 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 59o and dropping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 1, 2012 Author Share Posted January 1, 2012 51.9° & still falling @ about 10° or so an hour in Weaverville. A quite strong & sustained wind in the upper part of the French Broad River Valley. That is not usual for here....The lower part of the valley (down towards the Airport) usually gets the big wind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Temps starting to nose dive here. Just dropped into the thirties ( 39.1 ) Also had a 41 mph wind gust about 20 minutes ago. Now it's time for some SNOW !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SN_Lover Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Well the cirrus were out in full force today at Hilton Head Beach. Clouds went away during the latter part of the day. Temps were kept down, probably, because of the clouds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

landof2rivers Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 In Boone until tomorrow; temp is dropping but seems like it's taking forever. Still in the 40's, but the wind is whipping. I'm at 4000 ft. and I'm hoping for flakes before we head down the mountain. Happy New Year to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillzPirate Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 18z GFS ensemble supports around a tenth of an inch qpf for MHX through Tues. night. I'd suspect with decent ratios the crystal coast could sneak out atleast a dusting of snow to possibly an inch with that coastal that has been trending closer to the coast each run.

Solak Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 The red dot is where I live....the typical location where inbound precip falls apart. The line actually looks like it's filled in/broadened since that image. We might squeeze out a pretty decent shower over here by KJNX in a little while.

dsaur Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 51.7 at 8:30. I heard of some wet road in the se part of the county, but the sun was out here most of the day. Do no like the dry look of the models lately. It might be going on 10 days to two weeks without rain if they are correct. T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hard to figure out NWS RAH at times... as this line of showers approaches, the updated 20% slight chance of sprinkles, to 30% chance of showers to "60% showers likely" now has become "Mostly clear, with a low around 36". Meanwhile, we've got a decent light rain falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 And someone punched the keyboard ... now it's reflecting real time again "Showers likely before midnight. Mostly clear, with a low around 35. West wind between 11 and 13 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. New rainfall amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 NAM is a little colder at 850. The new run has -14 nearly to SC coast. Takes -15 almost to CAE and upper SC and western third of NC is -16.. The 510 thickness line engulfs most of NC now, back to eastern TN...rarely do we get those thickness this far south, only a few times per decade. It's surface freezing line for 18z Tuesday is even further south and east, going from near Raleigh, Rock Hill Athens and Atlanta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's surface freezing line for 18z Tuesday is even further south and east, going from near Raleigh, Rock Hill Athens and Atlanta. It's heading pretty far south, but for Knoxville we've been colder than this a few times in the last few years. The coldest high I can remember in the last 3 was about 19F sometime in 2008-2009. In fact, last winter we had a stretch of 10 days all below 32F. I think this one might 'seem' colder because it's been after a decent 'warm' spell. I wonder if we'll get flurries in the valley - but I'm sure whatever falls won't accumulate down here. The latest highs above 6000' have been in the mid teens with lows around 0. I'm so glad I'm not hiking up there Monday or Tuesday - but if I can find anyone who is or find photos I'll try to post them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Our local mets are showing around 35-38 for high tuesday? What you think? For Winston? thats really hard to see happening, but I guess never say never. Looked like upper 20s to near 30 to me.

I'm so glad I'm not hiking up there Monday or Tuesday - but if I can find anyone who is or find photos I'll try to post them. yeah, i was really focusing on the intensity of the cold here in western piedmont of NC, upper SC and now the midlands of SC and ne GA...because for this area this setup is a little colder for us than those 2 years you mentioned. I know eastern TN can get into the -16 or -15 but usually that doesn't translate over to this side as far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaffneyPeach Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 46 and that wind in howling!! I live in a bit of a protected valley but I sure can hear it just above the trees. Those folks up on the hill are really catching it. Sure hope the power doesn't go out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Wow! I didn't expect this, a pretty decent snow shower coming through! You can really tell a drastic change is happening. You can feel it. I swear, you can actually "smell" artic air. It's different, period. I just took a 15 minute walk and it was amazing. The air was literally intoxicating!!! Shut up, Emerson.

Met1985 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Joe i have to agree. Living up at about 3500 to 3600 feet and especially as high as you are just something exciting is going to happen. Just going out and hearing the wind rolling down the mountain and into the hollar. Clouds are starting to move in and the air is as crisp and if it were 0 degrees outside. I think the snow comes in earlier and i think we will get more that they think. Just noticed they know have highs for use in the 20s today and tomorrow. Nothing like living in the mountains.
