GaWx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Thank you for posting, this thing appears to be dead on. I received exactly 2.5" On a side note, anybody else watching this precip move back over Florida and South Georgia right now? Intriguing. Although it has largely been downplayed due to the first wave having just played out, I've been interested in and posting about the potential from the 2nd wave for a couple of days due to its "sleeper" potential because the model consensus has been teasing the coast from Brunswick to SAV to CHS with it for a couple of days, with some runs actually making it onshore. IF any precip. actually were to make it back to the coast, it would be wintry through tomorrow morning for most all coastal sections perhaps down as far as Brunswick. How often does that happen, especially from back to back systems? Everyone on the coast down to Brunswick is below 32 now (I'm at 30) and temp.'s will either hold about steady or fall a couple of degrees before that wave's precip. possibly impacts the area. Then there could be a degree or so of evap. cooling. TLH has been getting on and off IP for a number of hours. That's the general direction from which the precip would move. Also, in addition to Metal's reports of ZR/IP, one can see precip. coming back in from the SW over west and south of Waycross. There has been persistent virga over SAV for a number of hours but there has been just enough dryness to evaporate it. All of this seems to be related to that 2nd GOM wave and should be monitored for possible wintry effects on/near the coast. The forecasted position of the associated surface low off of the FL coast tomorrow would be consistent with SE coastal wintry events of the past From NWS CHS just a little while ago (6:47 PM), an excellent discussion addressing this: THE NEXT MAJOR CHALLENGE DURING THIS FORECAST PERIOD IS THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE SC/GA COAST. THE AFOREMENTIONED UPPER SHORTWAVE WILL SHIFT ENE TO A POSITION OFF THE GA COAST BY DAYBREAK THURSDAY. ALOFT A 250 MB JET STREAK WILL REMAIN OFF THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST WITH MODERATE UPPER LEVEL DIVERGENCE ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST UNITED STATES. ANOTHER WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG THE STALLED FRONT OFF THE FL COAST AND EVENTUALLY LIFT NORTHEAST ON THURSDAY. THE CONCERN IS A SHARP BACKING IN THE 900-800 MB LAYER AFTER 06Z WITH SSW FETCH DEVELOPING. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR WEAK OVERRUNNING AND SATURATION IN THIS LAYER. THERE COULD BE ENOUGH OMEGA TO SUPPORT FREEZING DRIZZLE OR LIGHT FREEZING RAIN LATE TONIGHT ALONG THE SC/GA COAST. THE POTENTIAL FOR SNOW IS QUITE LOW DUE TO A LACK OF APPRECIABLE MOISTURE IN THE DENDRITIC GROWTH ZONE /-10 TO -20C/. SLEET IS ALSO NOT TERRIBLY LIKELY SINCE THE UPWARD VERTICAL VELOCITIES WILL BE SO LIMITED. WE ADDED MENTION OF FREEZING RAIN/DRIZZLE TO OUR COASTAL AREAS LATE TONIGHT BUT DID NOT INCLUDE ANY ICE ACCUMULATIONS AT THIS TIME. LATER SHIFTS WILL NEED TO MONITOR TRENDS TO DETERMINE IF THIS PRECIP ACTUALLY DEVELOPS AND AFFECTS LAND AREAS...AT WHICH POINT A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY MAY BE NEEDED DUE TO FRESH ACCUMULATIONS.

GaWx Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Very light precip. has begun here in Savannah. I think it is sleet. I see a patch of heavier returns approaching quickly. If it makes it here intact, it will be interesting to see if it is in the form of sleet. That could make things very slippery in a hurry with 30 degree temp.'s. Metal said he had sleet from it.

WxFreak11 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It appears this batch of precipitation might just slide off the coast to our south in Charleston..really hoping so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Currently 11 degrees here, one degree below our forecasted low. Maybe we can make a run at 0 ? Would be the first time I've been that cold in close to 30 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just arrived here and is moderate sleet that isn't melting on the pavement. This could get dangerous real quickly for travel. Sleet wasn't predicted. Only the chance for ZR.

metalicwx366 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Our winter storm warning has been extended to 5am. We ended the precip as a mixture of rain and freezing rain as the temperature is finally 32. I guess we may see another round over night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Yes! Isn't it great! I'm really shocked at how cold it is. 10 degrees already. I'm pretty much the coldest spot in all of GA. The low temp forecast could bust by 10 degrees or so. It's about 10 degrees colder here than in Atlanta.

Yeh, I was checking out a station (Harmony, NC) on Wunderground and it dropped 5 degrees in one hour. It's close to 10° there right now! The closest station to me is dropping in excess of 1° and hour for the past couple hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 It's not every winter you have 5-10 mornings at 10 degrees or lower in GA. January 2014 will go down as one of the most impressive winter months in history I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan 2014 will have the 3 coldest temps (-2.3°, -2.2°, & 0.1°) since I moved to my house on 3/01/2003. Will update the overnight low if it goes colder. The coldest it has been prior was 4.2°.
