AirNelson39 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 4-6 inches for Statesville? Thirsty Thursday's at NWS offices?

audioguy3107 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 and what about the counties in extreme eastern AL that border GA ? They are not under an advisory while counties right next to them in GA are. I do believe East AL is just as prone to CAD as West GA is. It makes it very confusing for those who live right along the border. Should we believe BMX or FFC ? People, it's very simple. in FFC's area they have one city alone that houses 6.5 million people, most of whom will be in Friday rush hour. They are being better safe than sorry due to 2014. That's it. If this was Sunday morning potential, there would most likely be a WSWatch and a wait and see approach. They can't afford that ATTM. If it doesn't pan out, they drop the advisory/warning and no harm no foul. - Buck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winterhawk Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 FFC Doubles Down!!!!!! image_full1.gif The last thing the North side needs is more ice, there's still a lot on the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 yea I can't believe Asheville will see only an inch. gsp said in they're latest disco that the central and southern mtns. may go under a winter storm warning sometime Friday for Friday nite and saturday.

superjames1992 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yeah that's a weird looking map for the Piedmont and foothills especially in the Hickory to Statesville to Winston Salem areas I think it's because RAH isn't nearly as bullish as WPC and Blacksburg, so the maps look weird.

deltadog03 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Can we find more wintry weather, or is back to drawing board? Hint Hint for me, I am FIRED up about this pattern and the potential.

kvegas-wx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Crap guys, and I am driving from winston to cincy / columbus on sunday. Not a good time for drunk weathermen and bad model disagreement. My business trip may turn into an impromptu snow chase if this keeps up. I am plowing right through DT's 10" bullseye!

franklin NCwx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't see what's wrong with ffc. Their maps seem very reasonable. 1-3 in the north ga mtns and trace to 1" with some freezing rain in the north Atlanta metro. Their job is to give the public advanced warning, not wait until the event is unfolding like gsp will do sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Here in McDowell I would be shocked to get more than 1-2 inches. These type of systems seem to never work out IMBY due to the proximity of the Black Mtn range among other factors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If NAM stay the course tonight with qpf and others get a little wetter, someone will probably end up with a nasty ICE STORM. He's got me in the 6" too!

Snowless in Carrollton Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't see what's wrong with ffc.

Their job is to give the public advanced warning, not wait until the event is unfolding like gsp will do sometimes. their map a shows snow and ice in the south metro too.

tarheelwx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Didn't the storm on Monday verify about 100 miles further south than most models had it just 24 hours out? If so, a lot can still happen with this one. I could see a pseudo High locking in over the CAD regions leading to a prolonged period of sleet/freezing rain. Also, if the NAM comes in the same as at 18z, I'd expect watches to go up in the Triad. TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

franklin NCwx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 their map a shows snow and ice in the south metro too.it's possible they see very light snow and ice there too. It's better to have the advisory out than nothing and snow and ice fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Last storm he called for 6-10" and I got 1.5". He has me getting 4" on this storm so maybe a dusting? Sounds about right. He called me a moron and an idiot when I said that there was no way the Triad would get that much. Is he known to have a temper?! Oh, yes. SREF plumes stink for gso. Yeah, 1" to 0.33". Toss. Hug whatever model shows us the goods. Actually, though, the SREFs are kind of weird. Mean QPF is pretty good. 0.25" QPF prior to 06z, which you would think would be SN/IP/ZR, realistically. I'm not sure what the model actually shows, though. Looks like it takes us above freezing mid-morning on Saturday, which seems ridiculous at this point. We'll see what the NAM shows.

Wow Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I don't know what to think of this storm. Models look bleh while my NWS forecast states "Heavy snow accumulation possible." 99% of the time it's the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG FROSTY Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 SREF down for me too! from just under 4 inches to about 1.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NC_WX10 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Based off of the storm on Monday did the nam handle it the best? And is that the best model to use for this setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
