BlueRidgeFolklore Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Justus hype machine in full effect. Not falling for it again. You people crack me up. 'I don't see it in MBY...... HYPE!' Justus puts in a lot of work, and is very thorough. He is my favorite TV met that forecasts for WNC. He's usually spot on for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowDeac Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Can this map be accurate? Also, when animated, there is very little, if any, northern movement. And I'd imagine the low that is popping in Missouri could potentially prevent too much northern movement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griteater Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Is that a little mesohigh feature in VA? Take a look at wind map. Carolinas into NE GA are the only areas east of the MS River with NE winds http://hint.fm/wind/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mackerel_sky Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 .35 inch for KGMU..25 of zr accrual, can start bringing down limbs and powerlines, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwupstatewx Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 .25 of zr accrual, can start bringing down limbs and powerlines, correct? .30" accrued is categorized as a "major" ice storm I believe (edit: for GSP area) - but I am not sure how much QPF at what rates would arrive at that number.

Tony Sisk Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 .25 of zr accrual, can start bringing down limbs and powerlines, correct? Hey Mackerel, you now showing 26 with NE winds at 10 I have a feeling it is going to be very dangerous come commute time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 .25 of zr accrual, can start bringing down limbs and powerlines, correct? It depends on wind speed and how saturated the ground is, but 0.25" is usually enough to start getting into that range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackerel_sky Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hey Mackerel, you now showing 26 with NE winds at 10 I have a feeling it is going to be very dangerous come commute time. Yeah I'm off today, but on noon news, they said some of hwy 11 was shut down due to wrecks . If we get precip in here heavy enough, and temps don't budge, could be serious! I've been between 28-29 all morning , W/ NE winds! Looks atleast 4-5 hours away from heavy stuff in Ga getting up this way! That meso high in VA may be what is holding the cold! Seeing people in triad complaining about warming temps, but have seen several time where RAH is 40-50 and we are wedged at 29-30! Just a watch game now, watch temps and radar, hope temps go up, if you like power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpg2 Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Watching the radar closely and will be heading home if I see it show anything substantial coming this way. I work downtown, about 15-20 minutes north of my house but I think it's going to be ok. Right now GSP area just has spotty drizzle and flurries in places. It's looked the same on the radar all day. I'm watching all the little puffs of precip come in from the SC coast. We are still right at 28*F downtown. Temp hasn't really moved since 10:30 am when we were 26*F.

I've risen 2° since 2am this morning from 26 now up to 28. I'm thinking we at the highest 30 when the heavy stuff moves in and I would think that spells trouble!

Hvward Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 12z Euro follows the Nam and now tracks the low through the Piedmont of NC. That will possibly allow WNC to get in on some backside snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiltedStorm Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 The cold air is eroding away from east to west faster. Watch VA beach to New Jersey. It's hard to watch the further south you are with lack of precip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HurricaneTracker Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 12z Euro follows the Nam and now tracks the low through the Piedmont of NC. That will possibly allow WNC to get in on some backside snow. Still watching for flooding rains across the western Carolinas. 850mb wind speeds exceed 50 knots tonight on the NAM and Euro. Increasing chance for moderate upslope-induced showers ahead of the main line of storms and ground is frozen solid. Something to watch tonight. Could be a lot of run off.
