Poimen Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 2-4" for the Triangle, per the NAM. So when we factor in the obligatory warm soil temps we get to our 1-3". Been raining here for about 30 minutes and the temp has fallen from 42 to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY_WX Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 After looking at the 00z euro this morn', the radar is pretty much perfectly aligned with it. Temps are as well. At 7a, it had hickory at 43 and we're at 41 right now at 9a. So thing seem on track at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Roanoke, Va. reporting light rain/snow mix at 38/31 That is a good sign , just checked the ob and mixing with 38/31. VT is reporting -SN at 36/36, evidence that despite some surface warmth, what is going on aloft is quickly overcoming it. Who says you need a 2mT at or below freezing. Will be interested to see if that continues into the early afternoon for places like GSO, do they transition with wet bulbs still in the mid 30's.

strongwxnc Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks man.. But I think I will be sitting this one out. I think Rutherford County will be split in half and this end of the county always gets the short end. Good luck Mark! and all you NC folks! You dont have any idea how jealous I am!!

Will be interested to see if that continues into the early afternoon for places like GSO, do they transition with wet bulbs still in the mid 30's. Especially with damming and a NE to NNE wind component- the wind direction forces the colder air into a path of least resistance- means a good bleed south for the NC piedmont during the late morning/early afternoon. I would be really worried about the validity of this storm if I saw any wind direction from 270 to 360- radar signature looks like it is going to start filling in rapidly over NC as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanskip Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 12z NAM and morning RUC runs pretty much take CLT metro out of the mix for even a dusting.

Tullioz Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Here is a picture a friend just sent me from Floyd County VA. She said the car thermometer was reading 29. This is above 2000', but she said it was snowing all the way down to just West of Bassett, VA and she said there was sleet in Ridgeway VA where her thermometer read 37. There is no doubt that the cold air is arriving aloft. Just need the heavier bands of precipitation now to bring it to the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
