gritsnc Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Just got home from the store. As I was sitting at a stoplight, I saw/heard the first pieces of sleet. The sleet is now picking up (I can hear it pinging against the window and see it on the patio), but still mixed with rain. Temp: 33 DP: 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Heavy wet flakes were coming down on the HWY127 bridge over Lake Hickory about 10 minutes ago when I came across. They made huge splash patterns on the windshield. Some as wide as 2 inches across! Light sleet now at my house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 When is the low supposed to drop due south to central GA then transfer to the coast around SC/NC border? Actually, the lowest SLP in all of the SE US (actually in all of the lower 48) as of 2 PM/19Z was near Savannah where it had fallen to 29.57" (1001.4 mb) at Hunter. This is near the location where both the 12Z GFS and Euro had progged the lowest pressure. However, they each had progged ~1004 mb as the lowest pessure. So, each of them is about 2.5 mb too high. Furthermore, even the 19Z RUC initialization has it ~1003 mb, which is ~1.5 mb too high. This all tells me that the low is likely to be somewhat stronger than progged as it moves NE off the Carolinas. I wonder if this will help the Triangle of NC and further east?? By the way, it rose to 78 F at 2 PM here or ~6-8 F warmer than progged by the NWS earlier today as a result of more sunshine than expected. We just had a convective shower pass.

weatherheels Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yep, starting to get the sleet mixing in. The rain has been coming down pretty steady for the past couple hours now... Just hit .2 in the rain guage and temp is hovering right above 33. The sleet is picking up, as is the rain. ** and now that the rain has picked up, some nice size snow flakes mixing in... very few but definitely snow.

Bevo Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Down to 36 here in the CLT. Dude - you're about 60 miles north of me - you're getting ever closer. I dropped from 43 to 40 in about 15 minutes (very recently). I believe I'm in a spot that will be the southern most point with a chance for some flizzard action.

Tullioz Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 So much for soil temps. That was a pretty intense band that moved through Surry County. Now that it is exiting lets see how long it takes to melt. I bet 30 minutes from now it will all be gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
