POWERSTROKE Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Radar looks rather anemic over the last couple of hours. Maybe slight improvements in the last few frames around CLT, Hickory, WS. Drizzle and 45 in winston Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMRoss Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 For how dry this event is supposed to be, I'm pretty impressed how the radar has filled in the past couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Don't look now, but the 21z RAP just printed out quite a bit of 0.1-0.2" across central NC. The wettest run yet, I believe. It even had some 0.2-0.3" totals near Wilkesboro. EDIT: And then it backed off the next hour. That's the RAP for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I experienced a brief 7 minute light rain... Possibly a sleet pellet or two but that is off sound and not actually seeing something frozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRVwxfan. Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 It's actually around 57 here. Got to 59 here today. Getting colder outside, and a line of clouds showing up to the west and north. Radar looks crappy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_WX10 Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Is the radar looking better for northern and northwestern parts of nc then originally thought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Left my mountain house in stuart va and the snow line chased me all the way to hanging rock state park. Top of the mountain was a white out. But no snow back here in kernersville yet. Definitely a quick hitter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It even had some 0.2-0.3" totals near Wilkesboro. EDIT: And then it backed off the next hour. That's the RAP for you. Exactly. I've been burned by the RAP too many times. In one hour it went from some areas having over .1 to getting .01. Only 1% of what it was showing the hour before for only 3-4 hours in the future. That's frustrating!...Yet I'm still looking at it every hour. I need help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Exactly. I've been burned by the RAP too many times. In one hour it went from some areas having over .1 to getting .01.

That just say it so aptly why we're in such sad shape....hoping beyond hope that the Rap will mercifully spit out .10 instead of the .01 that it had been showing. We need snow bad.

crossthread Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 light sprinkles here, overcast/setting @ 46... KILM says: This front will move through basically moisture deprived with morein the way of clouds streaming across in the upper levels and fairlydry through the middle levels. Any shallow moisture may produce alittle light rain with lift right along front moving into i95corridor late evening and reaching the coast after midnight.Cold air advection will increase from the west behind front but temperatures along thecoast will remain in the 40s most of the night. As the cold airfilters in...the moisture will be moving out. The main driving forcefor any Post frontal pcp will be a strong vorticity maximum rotating throughthe middle to upper trough moving through our local forecast areawithin the few hours around daybreak. This will squeeze out anyavailable moisture in the atmosphere. The pcp water values up arounda half inch will drop down near a quarter of an inch inland bymorning. Therefore a short window of opportunity for any pcp at all.Once the front moves further off shore the winds will increase outof the north to northwest. Winds aloft will remain out of the SWcloser to the coast keeping a warmer flow over the shallow cool airbehind surface front. This will allow for some weak isentropic lift nearthe coast while inland this warm layer aloft will be eroded away ascold air makes its way east. Therefore closer to the coast...chance ofrain will increase toward morning in better isentropic lift. As forinland near the i95 corridor...expect some light pcp to mix with orchange over to snow earlier in the overnight hours...closer to 4 or5 am when column still remains moist from around 3k to 12k feet andtemperatures drop below freezing through the column. This will allow ashort period of mixed pcp or changeover to mainly snow flurrieswithin the first few hours near daybreak Thursday morning. Dewpointtemperatures will drop below freezing by midnight inland and closer to 5 to6 am along the coast. As pcp occurs inland...the evaporative coolingmay aid in dropping surface temperatures below freezing by 4 or 5 am whencolumn becomes saturated. Ground temperatures will be warm throughout andtherefore not counting on any accumulation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Had some slop come through here about 10 mins ago maybe more slop here shortly. Then looks like a break before more slop showers come through. Temps are dropping and a pretty good breeze that makes it feel worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'all look good up there for a car top dusting atleast! The precip looks pretty robust up that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The precip looks pretty robust up that way! She should be getting some shortly next 15-20 mins maybe. She might catch the tail of the first band. I hope so... but not holding my breath for much. I'd like to see the precip fill in alot more. That one band that came through pretty much gave us the totals the models have been showing.. so I guess anything else is gravy.
