Brick Tamland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 So have we stuck a fork in the "threat" for this weekend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What other quality weather boards are out there? Send me a PM if you wouldn't mind. Quality??? Haahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha. This is it man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 So have we stuck a fork in the "threat" for this weekend? Definitely, except maybe mtns...next weeks threat is still viable, although would like to see something materialize on the models by this weekend.

Brick Tamland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Well, there's Talk Weather, but it's the same people from Alabama posting all the time. You can alwasy try the Accuweather forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Quality??? Haahahahahahhahahahahahahahahaha. This is it man. Was afraid of that. Looked at Talkweather. Respectfully, I think many outside of the Carolinas have taken their discussion elsewhere - not exactly a ringing endorsement of how things are being handled here. The quality of conversation has dropped as the discussion has become overly regionalized. You don't see the TN crew posting much anymore? Correct. This place is becoming like a football board. Folks will say things from behind their computer screens that they would never say in person. (edited...2:49PM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Round 2 Arkansas Had to update earlier for freeze fog holding on in a few spots across central Arkansas. Should be able to take out with late morning update. Otherwise will have to lower temperatures this afternoon with more extensive upper cloud cover streaming over Arkansas which will limit heating. Also snow cover will add to cooler temperatures. A light southeast flow has returned to Arkansas as the surface high has moved east. Tonight is shaping up for another quick winter weather scenario with a mix of rain freeze rain sleet and snow late to Friday morning. At this time uncertain how much precipitation will occur but may need a Winter Weather Advisory or freeze rain advisory. Will make decision later. (59) Short term...tonight through Saturday night widely scattered...somewhat transient areas of freezing fog have been noted early this morning across central and southern sections of the forecast area early this morning. Overall impacts appear to be minimal..as roadways are already dangerous due to recent winter precipitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think the blogs might have kept some mets off the boards. Also, seems more mets are just busier now and can't post as often. Or maybe it's just because this winter has been pretty bad so far so there really isn't anything exciting to post about yet. But it would help if the banter was kept to here. I think people are just frustrated, though, with folks being so optimistic about things in regards to winter weather and it never happening. A lot of regular folks see it as people crying wolf.

Brick Tamland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Seriously, what is up with states in the deep south getting more winter weather than NC the past few years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Definitely, except maybe mtns...next weeks threat is still viable, although would like to see something materialize on the models by this weekend.

strongwxnc Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 To be fair, NC always had the most posters. I can think of a hand full that will show up when something is set to happen. I feel that those folks still check this place daily but might not post as much for many reasons. Most of these folks have been around a good while, like myself. I never will understand the back and forth some have on here. Maybe it is because I personally could care less if I get the last word.. Or maybe it is that I do not know a lot about weather. Either way, I will continue to make my daily trip to this section of the internet every day. I enjoy your posts and hope you stick around. Was afraid of that. Looked at Talkweather.

It's not so much a case of grabbing my toys and going home...but even the diversity from Carolinas is thinning. I'll be around. I was actually wondering if folks weren't drifting to other boards as evidenced by the absences of some longtimers. As a matter of fact, I miss the posters who used to bust everyone's chops for wishcasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I think most, like myself, have families now and other issues to take care off. Or have other weather jobs pay for their knowledge. Or just do not care to go on and on with others around here. Yes, I miss those days also... I hear your point on the longtimers.

Cold Rain Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 I personally think that until that snow melts in Arkansas and other like places such as Maine the water cycle is somewhat disrupted and over here in the tundra we won't get meaningful precipitation...when we even do have the cold air near...IF we do even get that. Well that's just my rant for today anyhow... Um, huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandymanColumbusGA Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 How do you read one of these? In short... The temperature lines (degree C) go up & right and are blue (in this image). If you're looking for snow.. You want the right white line (in this image), also known as the temperature profile line, to be to the left of the 0 C line for the entire graph. You also want the left white line, dew point profile, to be as close to the temperature line as possible. If you see either of those lines nudge to the right of the 0C line around 800/900 mb (pressure lines which are the horizontal white lines) then back to the left of the 0C line, then you're looking at sleet/freezing rain, depending on how far up it goes back left.

CAD_Wedge_NC Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 How do you read one of these? That is an isothermal sounding with a cold nose.....Meaning you have a deep layer of the atmosphere near freezing. That is snow sounding as it is depicted with saturation all the way up to the snow growth region at -10C. Also, surface temps are below freezing as well. The winds are shown to the right. There is a light north-east wind at the surface and south-west wind as you climb higher up. Hope this helps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
