BullCityWx Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Bufkit also shows a sfc temp on the 31st of 18 degrees at 18z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Yea its ratios. Rare we see it working in the favorable direction from 10:1 base. Id be ecstatic with a 2-3 inch fluffer followed by several days of temps ruining 10 or more BN. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramadoc Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It is absolutely pouring outside. Has been all morning. My low temp came at 12:05am and was 57.8°. Currently sitting at 62.4° under heavy, and I mean heavy, rain. Wouldn’t surprise me to hear a few rumbles of thunder out of this.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Good news with the indices today: PNA - Now looks to stay positive into the LR **last couple of days it was showing negative AO - Continues to show strongly negative NAO - Continues to show positive **but what's new I'll take a +PNA and -AO combo any day. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/teleconnections.shtml 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Light band of precip moving through ATM. Snow flurries mixing in with light rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PackGrad05 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Another thing to keep in mind are soil temps. ( I know, I know....) Highs will be in the 50s next week... nightly lows will help. I just don't like rain changing to snow situations... Ground gets all wet and saturated and snow has a hard time sticking. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangeburgwx Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I had a mini monsoon (TS force winds that sounded like my roof was going to blow off combined with a blinding rain) last night that gave me 2.6" of rain... Nkw only if that 2.6" was with the temp below freezing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullCityWx Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 The GFS has a high of 19 degrees for RDU next Thursday. The all time record low max is 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the downslope screwzone might stay below freezing. for several runs now the gfs has been showing dewpoints that if came to pass would surely be some of the lowest we have ever seen.....and to see it over such a large area is even more impressive. Although WAA commences after this, Have to believe the gfs is too warm though with morning lows the next day with high pressure becoming situated directly over head in the carolinas thursday night/friday morning with dewpoints still in the negative teens.

FallsLake Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 It would be funny if the FV3 and euro showed snow on their 12z run. They were the ones that initially saw something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarheelwx Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I just don't get all the talk about the threats that seem to evaporate. To be honest, we haven't had a legit board wide threat yet. One model showing a board wide storm to me does not make a threat. It's interesting and something to watch that gives some hope, but its not a threat in my eyes. Give me three major models showing it 3 runs straight and we have a legit threat. Except for the ice a couple of weeks ago, there hasn't been a legit threat for NC east of the mountains since the early December storm. Any one run flashes of a decent storm shown by the models have all been quickly dropped and rightfully so......... for obvious reasons. I remember winter of '93. There was a lot of hype about how great the pattern seemed to be, but nothing ever worked out or materialized of any consequence Jan-early March. Then, well you know. I'm kind of thinking we'll get something similar this year. We'll have to wait to near the end and then it will happen and then we'll flip to spring. I'm okay with that.

SteveVa Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'll always be skeptical about rain to snow scenarios following a cold front. In our neck of the woods we tend to run out of precip before sufficiently cold air arrives. The Arctic front a couple of days ago was supposed to be rain-snow but precip ended before we even got to 40. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
