1/28 - 1/30 Storm Thread II

 Hope so!  MeteoStar is only providing me with .07.  Not much, so it will have to go a long way :)  These types of storms are just killer.  It is so easy to be watching someone close by get the storm of their lives, while you get nothing.  I stilll suffer all the time over 73, and this just brings it back in my face, lol.  I am trying to rest easy in the idea the weather couldn't ball kick me again...I'm an old man..and I've been good, lol.  I deserve what Macon got, not another slap down!

  I'm putting my eggs in Goofy's basket.  I've watched intently all week, and the gfs has slowly trended in my direction better and better.  I think 0z tonight will tell the tale.  T

 

...and to top that off for you Tony, I was seriously considering getting you an airline ticket to Mobile. That could be home for Sleet-Fest 2014 if some of the models are right!  Here's hoping for a good NW trend for you my friend.

 

PS...Michelle, that's awesome!! I hope you get it!

As mentioned above, 15z SREF coming in, wetter than 9z (second map below), same period.

Looks like the far western outliers have shifted in line with the other members. Looks like a pretty good consensus. Now it's time to nail down the details. I'm thinking Fayetteville may be the sweet spot.

Looks like the SREF came west for you and I from 9z to me. I do think somewhere around I-95 will get hammered.

EDIT: Whoops, I looked at the maps backwards.

IMO, for my viewing area only, it appears we have as follows:

12z NAM   8-12"

12z GFS   4-6"

12z EURO   2"

nice spread..lol

I'm about the same way here... I put together a 1st Call Map that was on the lower end of possible totals. My reasoning for being so conservative? There's still the chance this goes just southeast of my area. And, to be honest, I'd rather bust low initially than bust too high. I can always up those totals as the event gets closer.

 

That said, have you checked out the latest RPM!? It basically keeps it all south of us and is a FL Panhandle/South Georgia/Coast Carolinas hit. That's another reason why I'm going conservative on my first call map.

It sure is. So far the SREF has been moving the line into the NW.

Sorry gentlemen, but the 15z SREF is much drier for the Triad, Charlotte and mountain regions than the 9z.  

Here is the 9z:

And here is the new 15z:

I have a feeling that the members that were showing big hits for Hickory, Charlotte, Greensboro, etc.. have shifted east resulting in the 15z map.  Still a little time for trending NW if the upper air features act accordingly.

Not sure I like being under that probability of having more than 4" haha!

 

PS: FFC will issue Winter Storm WATCHES soon... For who, I'm not sure yet.

PSS: Tallahassee has already issued theirs for south GA/SE AL/Parts of FL panhandle for possibility of up to 0.2" of freezing rain followed by up to 0.5" of snow/sleet.

 

Fun times.

 

EDIT: Here's the AFD from FFC

HAVE

ISSUED WSW FOR AREAS GENERALLY SOUTH OF I20 NOT INCLUDING THE CORE

METRO ATL COUNTIES BUT WILL HAVE TO WATCH LATER RUNS FOR POSSIBLE

ADVISORY OR WSW UPGRADE DEPENDING ON TRENDS. FOR THE WSW

AREAS...NORTHERN FRINGE IS THE ONLY AREA IN QUESTION ON TOTAL

AMOUNTS AS PRECIP SHIELD APPEARS TO BE MUCH LIGHTER...HOWEVER..AM

CERTAIN THAT THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE WATCH AREA WILL BE ALL SNOW

FROM ONSET TO FINISH. BOTH GFS AND NAM SOUNDINGS CLEAR ON ALL SNOW WITH

SATURATION/ONSET OCCURRING AROUND 18Z TUES AND LASTING UNTIL

ABOUT 12Z WEDNESDAY...WITH BEST OMEGA FIELDS LINING UP AFTER 00Z

WED THROUGH AROUND 09Z WED. FROM CSG TO MCN TO

SANDERSVILLE...PRECIP MAY BEGIN AS A FZRA OR SLEET TUESDAY

AFTERNOON BEFORE CHANGING OVER A SNOW SLEET MIX IN THE EARLY

EVENING THEN ALL SNOW BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT. THIS LINE ATTM ALSO

APPEARS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR THE MOST SNOW ACCUM BUT THAT

COULD CHANGE DEPENDING ON THE EVOLUTION OF THE SHORT WAVE AND HOW

LONG THE TRANSITION TO ALL SNOW TAKES. AREAS FROM AMERICUS TO CORDELE

TO DUBLIN TO VIDALIA WILL LIKELY BE MOSTLY A FREEZING RAIN AND

SLEET MIX. WILL NEED TO WATCH THIS AREA CLOSELY FOR POSSIBLE ICE

STORM CONDITIONS AND UPWARDS OF 0.5 INCHES OR MORE ICE

ACCUMULATION. MODEL SOUNDINGS IN THAT REGION ARE CERTAINLY SHOWING

5 DEG C WARM NOSE WITH STRONG ENOUGH COLD INVERSION AND SURFACE

TEMPS TO WARRANT FZRA.
