Brick Tamland Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Isn't it always. RDU now has the winter climate of central GA. It is crazy how the eastern part of the state has had more big ones the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidreMann Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 It is crazy how the eastern part of the state has had more big ones the last few years.Before we got the only decent storm last winter, they got 8-10" just cuz. Haven't had that much snow since January 2nd, 2002. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downeastnc Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 32.2 on the front porch I am just east of Greenville and the heavier returns should be here in a few minutes so that should get me below 32 so I should see all ice from here on in now the question is how much. Radar looks decent for a hr or two but if that's it if nothing else pops up or "fills" in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 30.2 degrees and still some light freezing rain(or you could call it a heavy freezing drizzle). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY/... AS OF 1040 PM TUESDAY... ...COLD AND DRY AIR MAKING ITS WAY INTO CENTRAL NC BUT PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS OVERNIGHT ARE REDUCED FROM PREVIOUS FORECASTS AND SHOULD LAST FOR A SHORTER DURATION... LATEST SURFACE OBSERVATIONS INDICATE THAT THE COLD DRY AIR SURGE IS MAKING ITS WAY INTO CENTRAL NC AS DEWPOINTS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PIEDMONT HAVE FALLEN INTO THE MID TO UPPER 20S AND JUST NORTH OF THE BORDER IN VIRGINIA DEW POINTS HAVE FALLEN INTO THE UPPER TEENS. SURFACE WET BULB TEMPERATURES HAVE REACHED 32 NORTH OF A LINE FROM NEAR INT TO BUY TO RDU TO IXA. THE 00Z RAOB FROM KGSO HAD A LOW LEVEL THICKNESS VALUE OF 1299M AND A THE COLDEST TEMP IN THE SURFACE COLD LAYER WAS AROUND -4C WITH NO SATURATION IN THE ICE NUCLEATION REGION UNTIL YOU REACH CIRRUS LEVEL AT AROUND 22KFT. LATEST WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWS THE APPROACHING SHORT WAVE TROUGH IN THE SOUTHERN STREAM ASSOCIATED WITH A 120KT JET AT 250 HPA AT LAKE CHARLES. THIS FEATURE IS QUITE PROGRESSIVE AND IS LARGELY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE AREA OF PRECIPITATION THAT HAS EXPANDED AND MOVED ACROSS CENTRAL NC THIS EVENING. WITH THIS SHORT WAVE TROUGH ARRIVING FASTER THIS EVENING...IT IS ALSO EXPECTED TO EXIT THE AREA EARLIER WHICH WILL SHORTEN THE WINDOW OF PRECIPITATION ACROSS CENTRAL NC. RECENT MODEL GUIDANCE INCLUDING THE HIGHER SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL RESOLUTION MODELS HAVE TRENDED DOWNWARD SIGNIFICANTLY WITH THE QPF FOR TONIGHT WHICH AGREES WITH SATELLITE AND RADAR TRENDS. MOST OF THE PRECIPITATION WILL HAVE SHIFTED NORTH AND EAST OF THE RAH CWA BY DAYBREAK. DESPITE THE OVERALL DOWNWARD ADJUSTMENT OF AMOUNTS...AN AREA OF ENHANCED ICING ALBEIT WITH LESSER AMOUNTS THAN PREVIOUSLY EXPECTED IS EXPECTED IN A REGION FROM EAST OF RALEIGH OFF TO THE NORTH AND EAST TO HENDERSON AND OVER TO TARBORO WHERE AN AVERAGE OF A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICING IS POSSIBLE WITH SOME LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS. ELSEWHERE VERY MINOR GLAZING IS EXPECTED IN THE TRIAD WITH AREAS OF LIGHT FREEZING RAIN AND DRIZZLE. FURTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PIEDMONT...THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHERN COASTAL PLAIN...THE COLD AND DRY AIR WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO ARRIVE AND ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL BE VERY LIGHT AND LARGELY CONFINED TO ELEVATED SURFACES. OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL RANGE FROM 27 NEAR THE VIRGINIA BORDER TO 30 NEAR THE SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
