jrips27 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 32° at 4:47 AM. Shouldn't crack freezing again for over 48 hours. How low can we go?? I'm at 29. Deck and grill are icy, but it appears for the most part that the roads dried up before we went below the freezing mark. Would've been a real mess had we gone below 32 right after the rain had ended! Deep freeze incoming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WXinCanton Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Flash freeze wasn't going to happen. Not when its almost 50 degrees and you have 30 mph plus gust to help evaporate for the 2 hours till it hit 32 degrees. Roads are totally fine in north metro Atlanta. I'm off to work, traffic should be a breeze though 27 degrees here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion_NC_WX Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 68 degrees in Wilmington NC, 13 degrees in Crossville TN...Now that's what I call a temperature gradient at 6 am in the morning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm guessing this line of showers and thunderstorms entering the county is the cold front. Definitely way warmer ahead of the front than forecast, which makes the temperature drops even more impressive. Still 66. We should be 39 degrees by 9am.

metalicwx366 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Lol insane frontal passage. Easily gusted over 50mph with that line of storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 65 on the truck on the way into work this morning with a gusty south wind, should be upper 20's low 30's when I leave at 7:30 tonight and 13 by morning, that will be over a 50 degree swing in less than 24 hrs.......

wx4life Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 46 degrees right now. Went to bed at 11pm and temp was 41. The winds have shifted coming from the WNW. We've got some light rain right now so I know the front is right on my doorstep. I'm excited I get to watch all of this happen today. The crashing of temps is going to be amazing!

buckeyefan1 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Woke up to 55 degrees with some sprinkles, 45 minutes later it's now 45 degrees with west winds at 18mph gusting to 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 41 in Greensboro with light rain. Everything is soaked. We must have gotten quite a bit of rain last night. I see clearing off to the west. I imagine that with the wind inbound that the main roads will dry in a hurry. It wouldn't surprise me if there are some icy spots that form on the shady back roads. Also, walkways may get slippery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Was 42 at 4:45 this morning. Down to 36 with a ever growing stiff wind outside. Spent a little time checking the outside animals this morning, and they seem ready to rumble. It was 40 degrees at 6:30, now down to 35 with one or two snow flurries...

Brick Tamland Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yeah, the 50 degree temp difference from this morning to tonight is going to be impressive. But this cold shot is only going to last 36 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookout Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Flash freeze wasn't going to happen. Not when its almost 50 degrees and you have 30 mph plus gust to help evaporate for the 2 hours till it hit 32 degrees. Roads are totally fine in north metro Atlanta. I'm off to work, traffic should be a breeze though 27 degrees here It's not suprising to me as I thought all along it was being over hyped. Now if we had gotten an inch of rain or more and there was a lot of runoff, that would have been one thing but 0.10 or less falling several hours before freezing temps got here...just was never any real potential for problems imo. I can understand why they were playing it cautious though. Temp down to 29 here. At 3 am, it was 51. It will be interesting to see what the temps do today across Ne ga and ther upstate. The models have been showing a rather unusual temp trend. They showed temps dropping through 15z, then rising between 15 and 18z, and then falling again after 18z. Out west, temps will just keep dropping and stay steady at best but this temp trend is thanks in part to the old mountain shadow and evil downsloping. fwiw, the models timing of freezing temps here were pretty much spot on. They had consistently showed temps reaching freezing here around 12z for a few days and it was 12z when we got to 32. Pretty impressive imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Man, the mountain areas getting enough snow to cover the roads should make for treacherous driving. Plus it's going to get too cold for the road crews to do much with it. Stay safe up there folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I think even with this outbreak, the mtns will do their dirty work, and slow tha arrival of the cold till atleast the afternoon. Atlanta is already at 24 , and if I had to guess, I'd say we won't see 20s until 4 or 5 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upstate will in particular see this delay. Usually the center of this delay is the savannah river valley but the trajectory is such that the upstate will see the effect the most. Below is for 19z this afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxJordan Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Temperatures at 36.3 right now in Burke County in the foothills of NC. Here is what the RAP says temperatures will be at midnight tonight. Wow, these temperatures would probably continue to drop from these values. A cold night tonight for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
