downeastnc Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Convection robbing moisture transport! southeast.gif It depends on which way the line is oriented actually or so I read in some paper I cant find right this moment.....I think a NE to SW oriented line is actually good and increases the moisture influx where as a NW to SE oriented line will rob the moisture transport.....or maybe I got it backwards.....

I was just playing. The line is so skinny it's probably having no effect either way. Who really cares at this point anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 It's flat out poured up here by pti during the last half hour wind wept monsoon and it's COLD. Have no idea what the temp is but it has to be 20 to 2t degrees colder than when I got into work this a.m. pretty impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 take a look at the wind map here: http://hint.fm/wind/index.html and see how sharp the contrast between north wind and south wind across southern NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Why can't we get the cold in here quicker, then? I suppose the air upstream just isn't that cold. Although I do note near freezing temps just north of Richmond. The real cold though has more to do with the arctic air mass. That is the air mass makes more large scale gross movements. When it decides to surge our way it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's going to be a nightmare. I hope everybody doesn't leave work all at the same time. We'll never get home. Ever. It will be just the worst.

The only gridlock will be right behind Brick on 540 during his commute at 35mph straining to see a snowflake report that he can cut and paste.

Brick Tamland Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 The only gridlock will be right behind Brick on 401 during his commute at 35mph straining to see a snowflake report that he can cut and paste. Why would I be on 401? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Rain Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Transition line is now past Richmond south-westward to about 50 miles north of Danville. Nice. If the models are wrong about the mid levels, we might get sleet before the surface temps drop below freezing. And if the transition line is moving south at nearly 50 mph, we'll see sleet within the next 3 hours. And if the models are wrong with no wave developing later tonight over southern GA and moving off and up the coast, we'll get some decent snow accumulations!

UNCCmetgrad Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Well I just went from 67 to 51 in eleven minutes. Winds peaked at 19 Gust to 31 probably closer to 40. Still dropping rapidly with heavy rain and wind. 48 degrees now as I type this. The first frontal passage you could hear coming a minute before.

I just tracked the cold front from where I am(Myers Park) to Park and Woodlawn. It took 8 minutes for it to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
