CandymanColumbusGA Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Winter Weather Advisories are up for much of ND and a Winter Storm Watch is up for northern Minnesota! Dare I say... Winter is coming! Winter is coming! I'm looking forward to the nice cool down that's in store for most of us next week. While we may not get as cool as areas to our north, it will be a nice tease for the winter months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Whereas the recent very heavy rains have been great news for most and an exciting/fun thing to discuss, too much rain and clouds in Oct. wouldn't usually be good for a bright/colorful autumn leaf peak based on my experiences/leaf color diary. So, if you're hoping for a very pretty peak this year, your best bet would be a mainly dry period with clear/chilly nights over the next couple of weeks.

WilkesboroDude Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 I knew it would rain today with a 20% chance and the RNK radar being down for upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudcrash619 Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 To me, we've had a good start to fall. We've gotten some good rains, and not too warm. Our first major cool down will be this weekend. I'm expecting a low of 39 on Columbus Day morning. Meanwhile in the Upper Midwest, Winter Storm Warnings and Watches are in effect for North Dakota and Minnesota. Some areas could see up to 10 inches.

Solak Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Here comes the chill! From this morning's Raleigh AFD FOR MONDAY NIGHT...LOW LEVEL THICKNESSES IN THE LOW 1340S AND GOOD RADIATIONAL COOLING SUGGEST THAT THE COLDEST AIR OF THE SEASON WILL HELP TEMPERATURES TO DIVE DOWN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 30S ACROSS THE WESTERN PIEDMONT AND USUALLY COLD ZONES. PATCHY FROST IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION IN THESE AREAS...ESPECIALLY IF OPTIMUM RADIATIONAL COOLING CONDITIONS ARE REALIZED. URBAN AREAS SHOULD BOTTOM OUT NEAR 40. FURTHER TO THE SOUTHEAST MINIMUM TEMPERATURES SHOULD ONLY REACH THE LOWER 40S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmersonGA Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 2 and a quarter for the year sucks, Cheston I hope ya'll are offering camel rides up there, to make extra bucks. Even Justin is beating the heck out of you! When the Moles bring the big, huge snow in Feb. you might only get a few flakes. Time to move, bud Now! Audio Guy isn't all that far away, and he got hammered too, so go north, or south, and you'll be ok Seriously, the last time I remember training tropical down pours like this was TS Alberto. I was getting rain in 1/2 inch to one or more inch bursts, with steady lighter rains in between. A rain train has got to be one of the more impressive weather events available to the south. T There have been times when it seams that I've only had 2.25" on the year judging by the moisture in my yard. When I first read your post I was wondering what you were talking about. I did add up my YTD recently and it is a paltry 30.5". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 CAE .LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... LATEST ECMWF/GFS CONTINUES TO SHOW A COLD FRONT THAT WILL BE MOVING INTO THE AREA ON SUNDAY. A COMPROMISE BETWEEN THE FASTER GFS AND SLOWER ECMWF WILL BE USED. CONTINUED WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS SUNDAY/SUNDAY NIGHT. SREF ENSEMBLE GUIDANCE INDICATED THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN TO BE SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. TEMPERATURES WILL BE TRICKY ON SUNDAY BASED ON THE ARRIVAL OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...BUT EXPECT COOLER TEMPERATURES BY MONDAY. BEHIND THE FRONT...COOL HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD OVER THE REGION MONDAY THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT. TEMPERATURES SHOULD BEGIN TO GRADUALLY RISE THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF THE LONG TERM PERIOD...BUT REMAIN BELOW NORMAL. LOOKS LIKE THE AREA WILL SEE THE COOLEST TEMPERATURES OF THE FALL PERIOD BY TUESDAY MORNING AS MANY AREAS WILL FALL INTO THE MIDDLE TO UPPER 40S. TEMPERATURES WILL GRADUALLY MODERATE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. ANOTHER DRY COLD FRONT APPROACHES FROM THE WEST LATE WEDNESDAY INTO EARLY THURSDAY. EXPECT TEMPERATURES TO REMAIN BELOW NORMAL THROUGH THE PERIOD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Had a nice low of 45 degrees this morning and warmed up nicely today with a high of 75 degrees. Looking forward to seeing this pattern evolve coming out of this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloudcrash619 Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 We had a few showers come through earlier, and temperatures have been hovering around 50. The thing that surprised me was, the high today was 81, so had a 30 degree temperature drop in just a few hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted October 6, 2012 Author Share Posted October 6, 2012 First time snow mentioned in the forecast discussion this season... NWS Blacksburg There is some minor concern for S- in the higher elevations of our WV mountains...noting that rlx has included S- across Pocahontas County. 850mb temperatures do drop into the -2c range sun across this region...but current thinking is that the depth of the cold air will not be sufficient to support ice Crystal growth to any extent. Thus...have not included any mention of S- at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
