Brick Tamland Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 US National Weather Service Raleigh NC 910 am - recent examination of observational & model guidance suggests a slightly slower arrival of cold air...delaying the chage over by an hour or two in most of central NC.It still would be smart to plan to do most of your traveling before the cold air arrives and not wait for the precipitation to change over and join the masses heading home at the same time.

calculus1 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 The upper low is still back in TN. There should be more precipitation to develop this afternoon when this thing passes by. Everyone, calm down a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Just not feeling it. I've pinned a lot of hopes on thes back end/trailing systems and MOST don't work out. Hope I'm wrong. TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poimen Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 None of the guidance gives central NC any significant precip with the UL. They all suggest that the mid levels will dry out this afternoon, effectively shutting off any significant precip. The band of precip slowly moving through NC is all there will be, I'm afraid.

downeastnc Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 ULL isnt going to get it done unless the mid levels dont dry out as Poimen said, could be some pretty heavy freezing drizzle associated with it but it looks like the snow growth zone is too dry. The trailing ULL almost never works out for us and this looks to be the case this time around as well......but there is still a chance that the models dry us out to fast etc so we shall see.
