NCSNOW Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Looking at visible last several frames seems coc is almost moving due east as oppossed to NE. Not gaining alot of longitude. Wodering if the recent model runs posted above showing coc coming in futher south have some merit. Really a matter of when the left hand turn/bend back almost due west takes place as to sensible weather in central NC in it's qpf potential.

FallsLake Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Man, they said "MUTE POINT". Gears have been ground! Mute point in terms of accumulations. Never dreamed we would have anything stick here in central NC. Would be nice to see a few snow flakes fall in October. *I did see October snow fall in Raleigh back in 1988. It can happen.

chapelhillwx Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Thinking of making the quick hour-ish drive to Asheville on Monday afternoon/evening, especially given the increased confidence for snow there. I hate living relatively close to the mountains and never seeing anything blow off of them! Mute point in terms of accumulations. Never dreamed we would have anything stick here in central NC. Would be nice to see a few snow flakes fall in October. *I did see October snow fall in Raleigh back in 1988. It can happen. I think he means that the correct term is "moot point" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calculus1 Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 This is quite the weather phenomenon! GSP now has mentions of snow into the foothills and WNC piedmont "point and click" forecasts. Here is Hickory: Tonight A chance of showers, mainly before 2am. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 40. Northwest wind around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 28 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Monday A chance of showers, mainly after noon. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 52. Breezy, with a northwest wind 18 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 36 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Monday Night A chance of rain and snow showers before 3am, then a chance of snow showers. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 36. Breezy, with a northwest wind 18 to 21 mph, with gusts as high as 34 mph. Chance of precipitation is 40%. New snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. Tuesday A chance of rain and snow showers before 10am, then a chance of rain showers. Mostly cloudy, with a high near 47. West wind around 17 mph, with gusts as high as 29 mph. Chance of precipitation is 30%. New precipitation amounts of less than a tenth of an inch possible. Still not likely, of course, but it's nice to see the mention there. Grab the popcorn! Enjoy the beauty without the headache (if possible), mountain peeps! Edit: The reason I doubt (among many) is that we are in the exact "best" location to be victims of downsloping. I've seen this movie before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted October 28, 2012 Author Share Posted October 28, 2012 For the sake of preventing folks talking about the same thing in multiple threads, I have made the decision to merge the obs/disco threads. Traffic on the SE side has been light throughout this event compared to the other regions. Hitting the refresh button more frequently, as opposed to bouncing back and forth between two threads appears (at the moment) to be a better course. If you disagree let it be known, I have updated the title and sub header to reflect this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
