kvegas-wx Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Drove I85 from Winston to CLT around 11am this morning and couldnt get over how hard it was raining the entire way. For a winter rain storm this one packed a punch! Congrats to any of those who saw flakage! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it made it to warning criteria but I definitely have more than the T I've seen reported so far. At least a tenth, probably more up high in the pines. Nothing but rain down on the Guilford-Randolph line. .99" most between 12 and 2 pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solak Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Question: How often does this happen? From RAH this afternoon.. The back edge of the rain is now working through the Piedmont, and this pace is a few hours faster than recent high-res model runs indicated. What did the Hi-res miss?

oconeexman Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Gsp did super with this tricky event. 3km nam and cmc did the best for my location. Had a good 3hrs of antics at the onset then the heavier rains brought down the heat. Got 1.88" in the gauge..that impressed me! One of these daus the temps and moisture will come together up here like 88..hopefully im still alive to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got exactly 2.00" in 5.5 hrs! Got as low as 32.0, but it rained so hard that nothing really had time to freeze, it was just runoff and the very marginal temps didn't help. VERY VERY light patchy glaze on trees but the heavy nature of the rain really screwed any chance of ice accureal in this area (NW Forsyth Co. GA).

mjwise Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Just a pleasant sheen on the trees and bushes around here. A drive around the area showed some select places with greater ice accretion on trees, but not to the point of damage. With 0.9" liquid overall, a few degrees colder and I would have been sitting here in the dark by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Now that this event is over here is how I think the models faired: 1) ICON 2) CMC/RGEM 3) NAM 4) Euro 5) GFS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
