StoneColdWeatherAustin Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 That leading edge is smack over the middle of the piedmont. Maybe we can get that atmosphere saturated quickly and get some early flakes. Doesn't look like the overrunning is going to be in SW Virginia as earlier thought.

Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk That stuff is usually hard to predict, so it's possible we could get surprised (in either direction). We'll have to watch the radar throughout the day and into the evening. It wouldn't take much of a shift to get some more areas into the game. Anyways, we just hit 25 at noon as clouds have rolled in. Wonder if this stops the daytime heating and we don't make it to 30? Most modeling only has us getting down in the 24-26 range at the coldest while precip is falling, so if we were to bottom out closer to 20, that could make a difference down the line.

StoneColdWeatherAustin Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I agree. Like the last storm, we got in that dry slot for several hours. Cost us a lot of inches. Sent from my VS990 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Radar is impressive atm. 25dbz coming into western piedmont. And it's making it to ground in Marion boone. Marion is at what 1700 feet. So we may get a early thump fingers crossed. One things for sure it's bone chilling cold and anything that falls and can make it to the ground want go to watse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilj4425 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 I'm currently sitting at 27 degrees. Pretty stiff wind outside too. I thought I would be up to 31 degrees by now. At least I am so supposed to be according to the hourly weather graphs on GSP's website. Things that make you go hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One things for sure it's bone chilling cold and anything that falls and can make it to the ground want go to watse You sir, are far more optimistic than me.

burrel2 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 HMM, ARW is the coldest model I've seen yet for CAD regions. It showing 30 degrees in Gainesville,GA with the heavy frontal band overhead. The next hour has my backyard at 30 degree's with very heavy rain falling. Greenville is still at 28/29 and precip is ramping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I fully expect it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see this being a non event east of the foothills. We do have this band on radar that is aligned perfect for the next several hours coming right over us. Just has started snowing above our heads but let's see how long it takes to make it to ground. It's encouraging to see Marion reporting light snow now. He's in Downslope City and hasn't been under ecoes that long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
