J.C. Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 21 degrees here and winds are between 5-7mph. The record is 19, so it's within grasping distance I'd like to see the winds diminish though You just beat me to it. Something has definitely changed in the past 30 minutes because I held at 24 for around 2 hours, and now I have dropped to 21 in the past 20 minutes.

LithiaWx Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Several PWS in highlands show -2. Several more show readings between 1-3 in the GA mountians. Very impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklecity Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 14.9°/0°. Browsed around some weather stations and Banner Elk is -2.3°. Mt Mitchell is -10.7°. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalicwx366 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I have never wanted you to hit 19 , so bad!! Please????? In at 15.8 Hahaha! Not gonna happen.Temperature actually going up. 32 now. I'm done. Its clear skies and no wind. NWS Jax going with record breaking cold tonight. Possibly the coldest in a decade. ...RECORD BREAKING COLD OVERNIGHT... .UPDATE... VERY COLD AIR MASS OVER THE REGION WITH HIGHS TODAY ONLY IN THE LOW TO MID 40S WHICH IS MADE EVEN MORE IMPRESSIVE GIVEN THAT WE HAD AN ENTIRE DAY OF FULL SUN. TONIGHTS TEMPERATURES WILL BE THE COLDEST WE HAVE SEEN IN AT LEAST A FEW YEARS...AND SEVERAL LOCATIONS MAY QUITE POSSIBLY END UP WITH THE COLDEST TEMPERATURES IN OVER A DECADE. ALTHOUGH THE JACKSONVILLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT HAS DROPPED INTO THE LOW 20S AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN THE PAST 5 YEARS (MOST FREQUENTLY IN 2010 AND 2012) THE JAX AIRPORT HAS NOT OFFICIALLY DROPPED INTO THE TEENS SINCE JANUARY 24TH 2003. IT IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE THAT IT WILL HAPPEN TONIGHT...CONSIDERING NEARLY ALL OF THE GUIDANCE INSISTS ON LOWS IN THE TEENS FOR MOST INLAND LOCATIONS. THE WIND IS THE MAIN INHIBITING FACTOR BUT GIVEN THE STRONG CONSENSUS AND CURRENT TEMPERATURE TREND WE HAVE LOWERED OVERNIGHT LOWS ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO...WHICH YIELDS UPPER TEENS ACROSS OUR INLAND ZONES.

J.C. Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Several PWS in highlands show -2. Several more show readings between 1-3 in the GA mountians. Very impressive I was just looking at that very same area. The highlands area is so unique being over 4k feet so far south. I was trying to find a station on Brasstown.

JQPublic Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 For what it's worth, it's damn cold in Western PA and NE OH right now. I saw a -17 on wunderground. Not sure how well 2m temps verify on the RAP, but it has suddenly dropped most of NC Piedment into subzero territory by 7 AM. Most likely too aggressive as it brings me to 0 by midnight.

NRVwxfan. Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I know some areas out there are over 500' above sea level, which is high for this area, so I could see some internal valleys dropping up there. There is definitely some type of separation north of Columbia and south. Single digits above Charlotte already, and Columbia and Charleston are about the same. Columbia is a special warm place. Downtown and the towns immediately around are always warmer than the surrounding towns and cities. Blythewood is 500+ feet above msl, and Ridgeway is over 600 feet above MSL. It can have significant impacts on who gets rain, and who gets ice/snow. Winds have died down and its now 14F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalicwx366 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Model forecast lows tonight for Waycross GA. HRRR:30. RGEM:10 ECMWF:24 GFS:27 CMC:17 RAP:30 NAM:27 4K NAM:26 UKMET:24 Disaster. NWS went with 20. I'm model hugging whichever model is correct forever. The RGEM must think we have snow on the ground or something. Also not sure what model NWS JAX uses because none of the models show Jacksonville getting into the teens or even close. Maybe the RGEM. HRRR and RAP don't move the temperatures any tonight.

This is true, but one thing that drives me nuts is the fact they use CAE as the reporting station for Lexington. I live near the dam and I am consistently 3-5 degrees colder than the airport. Anytime the mets show the regional temperatures, Lexington is always the warmest, when in fact it isn't. Very misleading. 20F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQPublic Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Was dropping about a degree an hour at RDU, but between 951-1051pm temp dropped by 2.2 degrees. Seems to be dropping North of 540 too. A lot of stations are around 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sat at 24 just northwest of Columbia for 2 hours, then dropped 3 degrees in a matter of 20 minutes. Something similar in Easley tonight. Now 9.7. That's a 5.3 degree drop in about 80 minutes! If this continues I'll be able to give zero a run for its money! Doesn't seem to be happening all around the upstate though. GSP still at 14. Seeing some single digits on the outskirts of Greenville though, 8 in Simpsonville, and some 9s around too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very misleading. 20F I agree. I no longer go by the airports. They use Owens field for my area, which is a big joke. My weather is more like Newberry, Winnsboro,and Camden. I am over 30 miles North of KCAE, and over 20 from Owens field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQPublic Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Wow, NE Ohio Regional Airport dropped 9 degrees in 1 hour between 853-953pm. Currently -16.1 degrees. Cold starting to overperform out there. Bring it on down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxBlue Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 We're likely going below zero tonight. We had low of 0.5°F earlier this morning and today was the coldest high in my whole life at only 11°F and we're already at 6°F as of 11:50 pm.
