rowjimmy73 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 So the CMC still showing good ice, (misnomer) and WWA up for the Nws BLacksburg area, getting my ice melt down and prepping branches down around the yard. What's everyone's take? Hoping DPS calls the day tomorrow so I get some wife time https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/analysis/models/?model=gem®ion=us&pkg=mslp_pcpn_frzn&runtime=2019121200&fh=36 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 It will only be cold rain here so time to look ahead for me personally. It will be a minor event for most who do see ice with a transient parent high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tullioz Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Looks like this will be a marginal but short lived event here along the NC/VA border. The temperature at my location has already dropped three degrees from the afternoon high of 42. Currently sitting at 38.7 with a dew point of 21 with mainly clear skies.

Tree crushing total in NC CAD areas I'm hoping the RGEM doesn't verify, but it may have a better handle on the temperatures. Just since my last post less than 30 minutes ago the temp has dropped from 38.7 to 35.8. The NWS has the low in my area tonight falling to 32 which is going to bust on the high side as it appears at this time. If the temperatures manage to fall into the mid 20's by the time the precipitation begins, it will likely take them a little longer to rise above freezing than what is currently expected.

Buddy1987 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Temp down to 32 with stars. Dewpoint of 15. Temp has ability to drop down to 26 with factoring in wet bulb as we sit. Definitely colder then what was projected for this time. Temp just dropped 2 degrees last 5 min now 30/15 pretty crazy the effect the HP is having as it is exiting stage right.

Temps and dewpoints like that ain't going to provide an ice storm. Things might get a little slushy. But will quickly wash away. By the time you wet bulb temps right around 30. Models "have under done" the dry air. WAA is surging north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Did not expect it to get cold so quickly. Usually we're watching every fraction of a degree til it finally nears freezing around daybreak. Not the case tonight. Already below freezing. 31.8/24 right now.Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my moto e5 supra using Tapatalk Agreed. Gentleman that posted right above you is over factoring the WAA. It has been very cold to start the year at least up this way with multiple nights below freezing coupled with a frosty 21 this morning. Combine this with the temp not getting above 39 today and any ice accrual will stick with satisfactory accrual rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're definitely in a warm spot compared to many areas around you. Looking at Wunderground I can see a couple of stations around Winston Salem/Greensboro that are sitting at 32 degrees or slightly below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
