CherokeeGA Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 And with the just-announced closing of Cherokee, it looks like all of the Atlanta greater metro area counties and cities have shuttered public schools tomorrow. Still holding at 14 degrees for the last half hour, but the wind has picked up a bit and we are below 0 with wind chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Just reviewed the NAM WRF and SREF for Boone, Hickory and Charlotte. High confidence that at least -12 is doable above 5000' in NW North Carolina. -16 possible -20 to -22 would be impressive and can not be ruled out. Hope everyone got their propane gas tank filled in time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikepie Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 you got that right! when i took the dog out the difference was noticeable. it was cold earlier this afternoon, now it is just frigid and keeps on dropping. the winds are getting stronger, i can hear them inside the house now lol Me too, my deciduous trees have that distinctive leafless roar going on right now!

NEGa Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'll third that. It really feels a lot colder out there than it was not that long ago. Every time i look at the temp, it's dropped. Now down to 24.7. Nothing like your 14 but it's dropping a degree every few minutes it seems. Just upstream in jefferson it's down to 20. It seem virtually every where it's dropping 4 or 5 degrees per hour. Wonder how long that will keep up and how fast it will drop after the sun goes down. not only is it interesting to see the temp lower each time you look (not that i am doing that a lot right now or anything but its not just a degree but several lol And with the just-announced closing of Cherokee, it looks like all of the Atlanta greater metro area counties and cities have shuttered public schools tomorrow. Still holding at 14 degrees for the last half hour, but the wind has picked up a bit and we are below 0 with wind chill. sounds like most of n ga at this point. all the schools up this way (habersham rabun white etc) have already announced they will be closed Me too, my deciduous trees have that distinctive leafless roar going on right now! so its the trees without leaves that makes that roar sound! i always wondered about that haha. i havent gone out for a measurement since last time i did i froze my hands off, but generally i have figured it takes winds approaching at least 20/25 mph to get that sound going.

It's pretty wild to see it drop this fast out of the blue sort of. I mean you can see temps drop like this on clear and calm evenings but with all this wind and the sun still out it seems rather strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Currently 26 , don't think it's impossible to drop 20 degrees over the rest of the night to set the record?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 45 here, already 20 degrees cooler than it was at 10 am this morning and if the forecast holds true and we reach 13 tonight we still got another 32 degrees to drop....that would give us a 52 degree swing in about 18-20 hrs. They are also nudging down our high tomorrow and our low tomorrow night, If the wind lays up good around nightfall tomorrow we could see folks drop quickly, IMO they might have tomorrow night to warm in this area by 5+ degrees if the wind lays up.

NEGa Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Currently 26 , don't think it's impossible to drop 20 degrees over the rest of the night to set the record?! i would think certainly a good shot. as this second shot moves in it gets very windy and the temps plunge on the order of multiple degrees every few minutes lol. its 12 here, a 13 or 14 drop in a couple of hours NWS is calling for 17º here tonight, 39º tomorrow and 18º tomorrow night. you are in gainesville FLA right, not gainesville GA? lol - 17 on a winter night is cold here in n ga, so to have that in fla is amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Any idea what the all time wind chill up there is? -90 seems off the charts to me. It seems wrong the NOAA wind chill chart shows that -10 with a 60 MPH wind equals -48 so I am not sure where they get -90 from even with the old system I doubt it would be that cold. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/windchill/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.C. Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'm really enjoying watching this cold air plunge over the Atlanta area and points northwest, its pretty remarkable. Somebody in the Atlanta area should be sniffing 0 by morning. We still aren't dropping here in Columbia, sitting right around 40F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
