lilj4425 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 crushes the upstate. Almost 1.8 inches of liquid equivalent falls into mid to upper 20's surface temps. The NAM sends us over a cliff while the RGEM provides a parachute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfranklin Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Lookout, if available, please give your assessment/thoughts for East Central GA, NE GA, and Northwest SC - this area seems to be the most difficult to forecast at this time - also, there seems to be some disagreement between GSP and CAE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SN_Lover Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The below in Pivotal's map using Kuchera- how do you arrive at 5"?

snowbird1230 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Using the Kuchera equation, Ashdeville will get 5" ± 1". Im thinking you might have looked at something wrong..Im seeing close to a foot in Asheville using Kuchera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amos83 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 http://collaboration.cmc.ec.gc.ca/cmc/cmdn/pcpn_type/pcpn_type_gem_reg.html Love how it pivots some the heaviest returns right over the CLT area at the end of the storm with the wrap around stuff. Would see some nice snow accums with that on top of whatever we get tomorrow and tomorrow night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jshetley Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Yes it's the 12z if you follow the instructions and it pounds the north half or so of SC with lots of ice, sleet, and some snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 How accurate is the Kuchera Met? Honestly, I'd go with Skew-Ts, soundings, etc. over the Kuchera method. It seems a little low to me sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised you didn't see more yesterday, I hit a heavy snow shower on freedom drive out by 485 around 5. Was having to rely on reports from my wife, who didn't notice that we actually did have some sticksge yesterday. I think she just wasn't paying attention, because it was obvious there was light dusting of sleet and snow on the mulch areas when I took the dog out this morning. You and Calc are sitting pretty up there, especially with Brandon bringing the mojo "home" with uim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneTracker Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Looks like from Asheville west it could be. Agreed. NAM puts out too much sleet for Asheville. Thermal profiles and precipitation rates support a prolonged heavy snow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeznado Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 You are correct, I used the old equation from 2006. That has the updated 2013. I just examined the NAM more closely- the soundings indicate a lot of the precip during the day Friday would be sleet with a warm nose at 800mb, but the algorithm has that as snow- I wonder if sleet is lumped in with snow with this equation?

Jet Stream Rider Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 995 low makes landfall near Morehead City around h42. Ouch. Thats way too far west. You and I Poimen are close and represent the eastern NC folks. Looks like we could go over to all rain for a while if that low doesn't go further east. The errosion of the CAD is worse the further east you are as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HurricaneTracker Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Screen Shot 2016-01-21 at 10.26.13 AM.png This is valid 21Z Friday. At that point, the warm conveyor belt of precip should be over and there should be a good lull in the precipitation until the deform band comes back through overnight into Saturday morning. That is to say, 21Z sounding supports sleet but it should not be precipitating at that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercane Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 NAM for RDU is insane -- 3" of snow, 0.9" of sleet, and 0.7" of glaze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Tamland Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 6+ inches of concrete for Raleigh: Looks good. I would not be surprised if I see a little more snow up here.

RubiksDestroyer Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 NAM for RDU is insane -- 3" of snow, 0.9" of sleet, and 0.7" of glaze. Sleet has a 3:1 ratio, so that'd actually be almost 3" of sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
