JoshM Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 If the trend keeps up, a lot of the mets might feel like breathing into a plastic bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's hilarious how active it gets when Robert says something about a major winter storm or how many people jump on board. Carl Parker on TWC was first to the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Glad I didn't live there to witness that bust. Agreed... That would be awful. Thankfully, Ji lives in Leesburg, so he saw some snow out of that or he might have been a gonner... I'll always remember Jeremy's post from that storm... Epic FAIL for DC. The Mid-Atlantic meltdowns are ongoing. DC scaled back to 1-2". Cantore was at the National Mall standing on bare ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jburns Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Glad I didn't live there to witness that bust. Meanwhile,while they were melting down, not too many miles to the west near Front Royal, Frazdaddy, weatherNC and I were enjoying a beautiful 20" snowfall. Not to mention the delicious, snow packed chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Doesn't look like a big deal for RDU. Mostly rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rduwx Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Doesn't look like a big deal for RDU. Mostly rain. Yep...I personally don't see this as being a big deal for anyone in the SE. The higher elevations could do OK if they get the qpf. There might be some ip/zr to start off but even the zr will be at 32 degress so don't expect that be a major impact. Then most warm above freezing and end up w/ a soaking rain storm. If there was some cold air, this could of been and epic storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah a couple of weenie runs on some weenie models( UKMet / navgem) sent most into epic storm mode, along with a few tweets that put most into a frenzy. Now it's back to reality , even if its 32 , the heavy rain would not allow for much ice accretion , so the upper low may be our only hope? Well see how that works out!?

Be nice to be wrong though. Surprised Robert went so gung ho last night. I think he's going to bust. If not, he'll be a genius! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was some cold air, this could of been and epic storm. I guess it could always come in colder. But usually in these situations where it is very close and could go either way it goes the way of just rain for us. I think it would be best in this situation for the local TV mets here to just say it could go either way, we really don't know for sure, so be prepared for anything. But I wonder if they will actually do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Man, learn something new everyday. I always thought the Triangle area was considered in the central piedmont, but it is actually in the eastern piedmont, and the Triad is in the central, with Charlotte in the western. I didn't realize so much of eastern NC was considered in the coastal plain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAdawg Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Between ATL and AHN I do not know what to believe.......Metogram through Bufkit warehouse has insane snow forcast. I know better than to take it at face value though but it is impressive if it happens. I could be looking at it all wrong too. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize so much of eastern NC was considered in the coastal plain. Yeah, I hadn't looked at the actual geographical boundaries in a long time. I assumed Raleigh was in the central piedmont due to it's location in the State, which in my eye is skewed by the Outer Banks. But in context to the official geographical zoning, it's definitely in the eastern piedmont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAH seems to downplay it for RDU and looks like mostly rain, but then the NWS local forecast has 1 to 3 inches of snow and ice for Wake Forest. I don't think anyone really knows.

We will get a small amount of front end sleet/freezing rain and then quickly turn to all rain. It won't be a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Whatever the RGEM shows in 10 mins is what I am riding. It is going to be warmer than the last run and less precip. The H5 low will not be as strong and the 850s will be farther north. The precip will be slower to arrive and the high will slide out quicker and will not be as strong.

packfan98 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Whatever the RGEM shows in 10 mins is what I am riding. I'll be eagerly waiting your report! On a side note, why does it seem that all of the short-range models suck on temperature forecasts? Maybe it's because we are looking at the end of the run.
