Lookout Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 ZR? Dps and wb drop or rise? Not sure what you mean. I was referring to the gfs tonight over northeast georgia/upstate. It was right too. 31.4 here with freezing rain for the last couple of hours. Started freezing on the trees/bushes/fence a little after 11:30. A light but nice little glaze on elevated surfaces and cars. nam, fwiw, was quite a bit too warm. It was too warm by at least 4 degrees. Actually I'm giving it a bit too much credit probably. It has my location dropping to 35 only by 4am. Right now I'm supposed to be 38. So it's been 7 degrees too warm the last couple of hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 We have been at 32 or lower for the last 40 hrs here at PGV that's a pretty long stretch to go at or below freezing in March.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 37 and rain in Savannah. That cold of a rain in Savannah is impressive at any time of winter much less 3/5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 51.6. About to go get my bread and milk! Looks like this might be yet another day where we bust low on our high temperature. 42 here. If we manage that again tomorrow night and Friday morning, that will be interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 So much for that high of 49 today not going to happen. 41 atm might be able to get another point or two but far from pretty much 50. Still a fair amount of snow pack in the woods and areas sheltered from the sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Sun broke out here and temps sky rocketed!! It's 57 and climbing! Forecast was 53! Really not excited down here. Sitting around all day waiting for precip to start in the evening. The March sun angle will fight off the dry wedge, seriously ! I bet we make it to 50 tomorrow , this is on the record! Lol. If you have to wait for the wedge to strengthen during the storm, way too much can wrong! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Really not liking the temps in WNC right now...HRRR ingesting temps and warming the surface tonight compared to previous runs. 10% chance for winter precip for the Charlotte area IMO.

toxictwister00 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Still in the mid 50s here (54) Clouds doing their dirty work keeping us nice and mild tonight, tremendously slowing down radiational cooling. If we get below say 40-45 degree range I'll be surprised. Weird week, yesterday we were well below the forecast high and today we were well above the forecast high.

crossthread Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 ILM Obs today, 3/7... 46.2 °F Feels Like 38 °F Dew Point 46 °F Wind: Speed / Dir 24.0 mph from WNW Wind Gust 27.8 mph Just Shy of a Inch of QPF during the Day today..... Water Temp Ocean.... 48.9 as of 1230 PM Friday...no significant changes are needed with thisearly afternoon update. I have cancelled the high surf advisorybased on a review of imagery from area surf cams which suggestbreaking waves are averaging five feet or less. Also the WindAdvisory along the NC coast has been allowed to expire. Radar showsplenty of showers still swirling around the approaching upper levellow. Rainfall amounts are quite light so I have trimmed back quantitative precipitation forecastamounts despite quite high probability of precipitation continuing for areas north of a linefrom Kingstree-Conway-Myrtle Beach. No changes to temperatures.Previous discussion from 1000 am follows...In yesterday's battle of models regarding surface low position forthis morning...the GFS easily won versus the NAM. The surface low isanalyzed nearly 100 miles east of Cape Fear currently...shown bybuoy wind directions and by a well-defined low cloud swirl onvisible satellite imagery. Thick clouds extend all the way back intoGeorgia and northern Florida under the upper level low. This uppersystem currently centered on the Georgia/SC border west of Charlestonwill swing across the coastal Carolinas this afternoon...thenoffshore by sunset.Radar composites show plenty of showers across the Carolinas aresult of moist isentropic lift on the 295-300k Theta surfaces(generally 6000-10000 feet agl) plus very modest convectiveinstability above the warm nose centered about 8000 feet up. Thisconvective instability should not become large enough for athunderstorm threat this afternoon...but should fuel deeper and morevigorous showers than might develop simply due to the thermaladvection/isentropic processes lower in the atmosphere. The biggestchange to the forecast this morning was to increase probability of precipitation to near 100percent from interior Horry County north and west through the PeeDee region...I-95 corridor...and into Whiteville and Elizabethtown.Probability of precipitation for the coastal Cape Fear region have been raised into the80-90 percent range. Along the Santee river where showers are justending now...isentropic downglide may actually develop shortlymaking it tough for additional rain to occur today. I show adiminishing trend in probability of precipitation there through the day.Warmer air has advected onshore in the Wilmington area this morningwhere surface temperatures are currently in the lower to middle 50s.This relatively mild air should be very short-lived. As the surfacelow pushes northeastward and pulls the very cold wedge airmassacross interior North Carolina southward look for temperatures tofall back into the 40s here. Elsewhere across the eastern Carolinaslook for temperatures to only budge a few degrees today...with highsin the lower to middle 40s for most areas.We are hard at work on a summary of wind gusts and rainfall totalsfrom last night. Look for it to be posted as a public informationstatement and on social media later this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 75 officially at GSP today! It toasty outside, and up to 74 in the house, it's hard to not turn on the a c, I'm ready for the cold snap! I'll take 15 below normal, than 15 above, suppose to be warmer tomorrow ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Here is why this storm was so devastating for my maple trees. The recent warm weather had brought out the first signs of life. For these trees it is basically round groups of what will become the seed pods that drop just before the actual leaves come out. Each one of the scores of clusters at the end of each branch served as a perfect place for ice to accumulate way more than if it had just been a branch in mid winter state. The picture shows what I am talking about. Melting was already well underway. Notice how the branches themselves were already pretty clear of ice, either knocked off by the fall or melted. Not so for the tips of every branch. The cumulative weight of all that extra ice at the very ends of the branches brought them down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crapper Jim Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 78. Thinking about stripping off my clothes and taking a naked sprint across the 418. I know nobody whats to see my old arse... but most concerned I might die of a heart attack and get found half-eaten by the recent Starling swarms. Thinking this out.

NCSNOW Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 To warm today for me. Anything above 69 is out of my comfort zone unless I'm sitting on Holden Beach. My comfort zone also is infinite going below 69 just so you know. Plans to throw the ole line out in the water Saturday if the weather cooperates.

Crapper Jim Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 58 today. Pleasant, no wind. One of my wife's 9-12 cats caught a Robin this morn. I had to clear the bird and realized the mountain of feathers moments later. I felt sad. Ready for 70+ every day. "Take Yer Crummy Wet Sloppy Southern Snow Enthusiasm." I'm ok.

Tacoma Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 well I guess winter is over. GSP has taken the snow for sunday night and monday out of the forecast. I think we're done guys. I was hoping for one more just 1-3 inches. this winter has been better than the last two but I still wanted more snow or a couple of good storms not these half inch or 1 inch storms. better than nothing though. we'll track some next winter have a great summer.
