Tony Sisk Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Bright blue sky's and sunny at Pelham Rd and I-85 in Greenville.......better hope this is sort lived or any chance of something frozen is toast. Weird, I'm sitting in my office at Pelham and I-385 (Patewood)....haven't seen the sky or the sun all morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaWx Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 38.4 and rain to start the event here in Marietta. The WWA is serious with this storm. Good luck downstream.... A continued SE wind would mean no wetbulbing back to 32 for much of the ATL area since WAA would easily win. Look how fast the dp's rose before the precip. reached the ground. I'm expecting that WAA to continue. I doubt it will cool back to any colder than 35 in your area and it may even hardly cool back at all. WAA ftw if one doesn't like ZR. The low is tracking way too far north (despite my earlier expectations) to allow the CAD to hold in the ATL area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, DP was near 0 before I went to bed and temps were below freezing. The DP's spiked and the temp slowly rose over a few hours and killed frozen precip chances here.

I doubt it will cool back to any colder than 35 in your area and it may even hardly cool back at all. WAA ftw if one doesn't like ZR. waa from 950mb down which has lead to above freezing temps at that level spell rain for areas south and west of gainesville. However from gainesville east temps at 950mb to the surface are cold so i expect places like gainesville to drop below freezing where they are 34 over 14 with rain just starting. what's frustrating for me is i think this initial precip is going to miss me by 1 or less county. I'm currently only 35 over 12 and would drop below freezing i'm sure if it did thanks to those cold temps just above the surface. So likely will end up with 32.5 and rain here. the system beyond 96 hours would sure take the sting away from this one since it is is showing a major event right beyond 96 hours with plenty of cold air..but i'm sure it will end up in the great lakes given the trends this year.

Any wedging is essentially losing the battle where the winds go SE. It can't compete with a low track that is surprisingly taking that very rare track (with CAD present) west to east across central AL/GA. IF NC still ends up with a widespread major winter storm, it will be a first with this kind of low track since at least 1950. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as the winds shifted southeast in atlanta dps and temps shot up this morning. they are easterly from gainesville to athens. will be interesting to see where the dividing line ends up.

Tony Sisk Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 34/3 now. Precip an hour or two away!? I'm thinking 3:00ish. Here is the newest update from GSP NWS for the timing: * TIMING...PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN MIDDLE TO LATE AFTERNOON...FALLING AS A MIXTURE OF SLEET AND SNOW. LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS ARE EXPECTED BEFORE A TRANSITION TO FREEZING RAIN OCCURS DURING THE EVENING. THE HEAVIER FREEZING RAIN MAY CHANGE TO JUST RAIN IN SOUTHERN AREAS BEFORE ENDING TONIGHT.

audioguy3107 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 We're at 33 degrees with some light rain falling now......dewpoint is still in the low 20s. If had to make a guess, the dividing line in NE Georgia is probably going to set up somewhere along the NE part of Gwinnett County like it usually does.
