That app sucks honestly as do most phone weather apps. I live very close to a river so I'm almost always colder than the closest airport on clear, calm nights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BretWx Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Down to 33 here. EDIT: Down to 32 5 minutes later at my station. The HRRR looks to be coming in colder as well. I see more snow on the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 30.6 with a DP of 19 here at 4650 on Beech. At my location as long as CAD is still strong I do OK but once CAD starts to die it's over for me. Tomorrow should be interesting to say the least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Oh also when CAD is decent my winds gust to 30+ consistently as I'm wide open to the east on the side of south facing Beech. Right now gusts are less than 10mph so CAD really hasn't got cranking yet. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 We have already reached our forecasted low of 29. Clouds are coming but I think we can get down to 27 before they get thick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Crazy crash in temps here under clear skies. Down to 27 degrees already. Very surprised for my area. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I think this could be a biggie for the eastern escarpment. The non talked about part of this storm is that precip never looks too tremendously heavy. That should help the accretion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornAgain13 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Both NAM's continue the trend of significant icing from the blue ridge east to just north and west of Danville.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgain13 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 .25-.50" is looking likely in many areas, more so scattered, but numerous areas will get .10-.25" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Yeah, I think the serious freezing rain is going to be limited to the extreme edge of the Blue Ridge, in this particular storm. I just don't think we're going to get too much once you get away from there. You're going to need to be west of Marion, west of Lenoir, west of Wilkesboro, etc. to see any significant icing from this storm, IMO. The Hi-Res NAM really highlights that. I will be surprised if I have anything more than a little glistening in the treetops here in Hickory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Still sitting at 28 here. First real ice potential since I moved to this part of the county so I'm interested to see how it goes in this little valley. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just east of Boone and south down to Little Switzerland is going to be lights out I’m afraid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
