downeastnc Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I think Allan just addressed that on @RaleighWx Twitter. Good to know. Look at MHX radar http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?product=N0R&rid=mhx&loop=yes It shows pretty decent returns over the Triangle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarheelwx Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 NWS now has Colfax back up to 1-3" tonight and maybe an inch tomorrow. Anyone think some RAH counties may be upgraded back to a warning? TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see Guilford and Forsyth going to a warning if they get 2" from this initial band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWNC2015 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Raysweather upped his snow map...6-8" now for western part of the northern foothills and expanded the 4-6"....was mostly 2-4"...and still is for Elkin...but I think the 6-8" will come this way if he keeps tweaking east.

TW My forecast for tonight went from "up to one inch" to "less than one inch". Tomorrow is now "less than 1/2 inch". Not worth measuring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magpiemaniac Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 My forecast for tonight went from "up to one inch" to "less than one inch". Tomorrow is now "less than 1/2 inch". Not worth measuring. MBY overnight forecast from RAH went 1"-3" to 0.5" to 1". They just seem to react and slowly at that. I'm at over 1" already with a couple of more hours of snow remaining from this first band coming through. RAH will have to up it again to make themselves look accurate.

Iceagewhereartthou Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I don't see how we get 6-8 out of this Boone gets 6-8 inches from flurries. You guys are the "Chuck Norris" of snow ( sorry for the banter). Really is too bad this thing didn't track a couple hundred miles to the south, coulda been one for the ages.looks like the models are making this track a runner. Needs another high over the upper Midwest to steer it south and east.What might have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfan98 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The mosaic radar is funny. Two nice bands of precip. One is on I-40 and the other is right on I -85! I guess that's why we use those highways as lines of demarcation so often. Too bad I'm 5 miles south of I-85. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownheel Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I know we keep hearing about warming up, but it's now 21 degrees in Burlington with still a few degrees worth of wet bulb available. That is gonna be REALLY hard to scour out, particularly with a few inches of snow on the ground.... This is gonna be REAL close to busting in a serious way on the severe side if the heavy stuff come sin tomorrow as ZR/IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bsudweather Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Is people getting confused with the initial precip and the main Low that's suppose to bring all the precip to places like us in the upstate? I mean ours has not even got here yet and I'm sitting at 28/8 so when it starts tomorrow we gonna probably wet bulb to about 22 so that would cause havoc. And what if it does warm when the heavy stuff gets here? We will have a hell of an Ice storm if it doesn't all I can say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Headed almost due E Radar starting to fill in back into miss also. All that once saturated and reaching ground would most likely be snow/IP/ZR when it gets in here. My temps still dropping I'm at 27 now so it be hard pressed to warm to 32 by heavy precip tomorrow evening. But who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burrel2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Latest NAM is faster with the precip band tomorrow evening for the upstate and a couple degree's colder at the surface. This is getting really close. Also, it made a huge shift south with the surface low and now tracks it from just north of Macon, GA to Charlotte, NC.

StormyClearweather Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 So I'm not sure if anyone's noticed or not, but the NAM is definitely a bit colder IMBY/the CAD areas through 24. 18Z: 0Z: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormyClearweather Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 If the NAM verifies, that's about as close as you can get to an icy setup without it being an icy setup. It also looks like it initialized with temps close to where they are (as of 03Z), but dew points are still high. GSP's current dew point is 4 - NAM has it forecasted to be 10 at 3Z (10pm), FWIW.

Jet Stream Rider Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Into the midday tomorrow. That's a nasty ice storm if it verifies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEGa Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 at this point i dont know what to believe anymore lol - the models may be showing this or that, but they are all close...thinking that for mby, at least, its just going to be a matter of complete now-cast. what is the temp/dewpoint when the precip starts - just a few degrees will make all the difference and right now just appears too close to call for the lower parts of the CAD ares Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB is hugging the NAM! I can't recall the last time I was this cold, waiting on moisture! Wind is still gusty from the ENE, I'm at 29.8, could wetbulb to about 23/24 if mod precip got here in the morning, and doubt if that happened, we would ever reach 32 tomorrow evening! That NAM run was concerning, to say the least! Paging Lookout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Not sure why everyone is complaining about getting rain tomorrow. Looks like a lot of ice and trending colder. By the time it does switch to rain, if it does, the damage could already be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burrel2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I'll say this. I think think there is a small chance that we could be looking at similar ice totals as the December 2005 storm for Georgia and SC. One potential saving grace is it seems like this storm won't have that much qpf, and what does come through will be moving quick. So maybe not too much ice would accrete even if temps bust on the low side, (say 30 or 31 tomorrow night). For this to turn into a big event in the upstate, we would need to see more precip streaming out ahead of the main front tomorrow afternoon from the gulf. The Hrrr seems to be hinting at this a little bit. It will come down to how the radar looks when we wake up in the morning and where we stand on our temps/dewpoints. I'm sitting at 29/7 currently. Again, I'm not saying it's likely, but possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG FROSTY Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 quick thump and it's over, radar looks horrible!!! got a quick 1 1/2 inches.... the lull tomorrow should allow for enough warming for a cold rain tomorrow night!
