downeastnc Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Finally feels like winter again, but last weekend ran the departure for the month up to +5 so I figure we will end around +3-4 if the rest of the month stay slightly below as forecasted.....just over 1" of rain mostly in a storm that hit with the front.

Solak Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 Question - for the mid-term, what impact, if any, will the Upper low(s) near and N of Hispanola have as they drift West and NW? Could they cause any incoming energy to dig deeper towards the gulf before lifting out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCSNOW Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 17 this a.m. / coldest of the season so far. High was 37 today with full sun. Watching to see if we can get the limbs coated in the a.m. with some freezing drizzle. Hope everyone has had a Merry Christmas. From the looks off the webcams the slopes sure are benefitting from this cold air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyefan1 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 CAE......no zr or ip forecasted .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/...THE NAM AND GFS SHOW THE RIDGING WEAKENING TONIGHT AS A TROUGHDEVELOPS OFFSHORE. THE NAM IS MOST PRONOUNCED WITH THIS FEATUREAND SHOWS GREATER MOISTURE SPREADING INTO MAINLY THE EAST PART.THE MODELS DISPLAYS CATEGORICAL POPS AND HAS AMOUNTS RANGING FROM0.01 OF AN INCH IN THE NORTHWEST TO 0.1 OF AN INCH IN THESOUTHEAST SECTION. THE NAM HAS NOT BEEN CONSISTENT. BASED ON THEINITIAL DRYNESS AND THE H5 CONFLUENT PATTERN SHOWN BY THE NAM PLUSJUST WEAK ISENTROPIC LIFT SHOWN BY BOTH MODELS...WE BELIEVE THENAM POPS ARE OVERDONE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING. BELIEVECLOUDINESS AND SPRINKLES WILL BE THE MAIN EFFECT FROM THE TROUGH.PRECIPITATION TYPE IS A CONCERN BECAUSE OF THE LOW DEWPOINTTEMPERATURES IN PLACE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR EVAPORATIVE COOLING.CLOUDINESS SPREADING INTO THE FORECAST AREA PLUS WEAK WARMADVECTION SHOULD HELP HOLD UP TEMPERATURES. THE NAM DISPLAYSSURFACE TEMPERATURES ABOVE FREEZING WHERE MOISTURE IS DEEP ENOUGHFOR PRECIPITATION. THE MODEL ALSO KEEPS WET-BULB TEMPERATURESABOVE FREEZING EXCEPT IN THE NORTHWEST PART WHERE THERE WILL BELESS SUPPORT FOR PRECIPITATION AND LESS EVAPORATIVE COOLINGPOTENTIAL. ALL OF THE LATEST SREF MEMBERS KEEP THE TEMPERATUREABOVE FREEZING. BASED ON THESE FACTORS WE FORECASTED RAIN INSTEADOF FREEZING RAIN LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY THURSDAY MORNING.

kvegas-wx Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Its snowing again!!!..............in Cincinnati. Lol. I'm bringing it home folks. Soon enough....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Got down to 28 right after dark but that must have been before the clouds got in since temps have bounced to 32 and the DP has jumped to 27. I think the precip gets here to late to do much more than maybe some sleet briefly to start still not to bad considering it was 82 degrees a few days ago, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 29 with very light freezing rain. Must of had a light shower pass through between 4-5 a.m. This is the 3rd winter weather advisory of the year for my county. http://forecast.weather.gov/wwamap/png/rah.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 For you folks traveling trough Raleigh, it looks like 540(north beltline of Raleigh) is about to get a significant freezing rain band within the next 30 minutes. This is the day after Christmas but there will still be some rush hour traffic. Edit: it's hitting now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Freezing rain now falling at my house. 29.3 degrees. Fairly large rain drops. Wake Forest it looks like you'll be getting it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess many weren't expecting to get wintry precip today. This was a surprise. Went to bed last night thinking people farther east had the best chances. Now getting a mix of sleet and freezing rain. The porch is glazed with ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 rain starting to fall here. This is a strange setup. There is a band about 15 to 20 miles wide that is training SW to NE. For people in this band I think things could get pretty slippery. Right now(focused on the Raleigh area) this looks like a North Raleigh - Wake Forest event.

Hvward Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Good to see some getting a little ZR. I was just looking at the KAVL rainfall report for the current year to date and I found it very interesting that with 74.31 inches of rainfall this year, we are averaging .25 inches a day. More on the way this weekend, so hopefully we crack 75 inches! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaleighWx Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Light freezing rain and sleet here just west of Youngsville. 31.8. Light glaze on deck and patio furniture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Dry and cold here that band of rain is having a hard time progressing North. Doubtful that see anything around this area... which really don't bother me getting tired of the rain honestly. But yall enjoy it Durham and Raleigh. Hopefully we can get some accumulating snow around here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fountainguy97 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Woke up to some freezing rain on the windshield none on the ground. Band is fighting its way north and I may get a little more before I hit 33. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 looks like the precip is done for me. Ended up with a light glaze on everything. The band has shifted just to my east. As stated before, it looks like North Raleigh along the 540 loop may have received the most ice this morning; but that's just me looking at the radar loops.

WeatherNC Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Woke up to a very light glaze in Chapel Hill. No such luck here, cars had a little ice on the roofs but that was about it, not even enough to wet the driveway. Temp just went above freezing, and now the rain is finally falling, go figure. Bands earlier were off the my west around the triangle, and just east over the eastern half of Pitt. 34/30 -RN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
