NorthHillsWx Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Pretty much draw a line from dry fork to hickory north and west is where I’d expect accumulation. Rate driven snows that can add up but won’t be a large area of heavy accumulation. I’d say a C-2” for that area with some pockets of 3-4.” NAM sleet profiles should have everyone’s attention as well. The upstate relies on a quick hitting front end thump and those are notoriously hard to predict. BL temps are not your friend nor is frozen event duration.

BullCityWx Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 I think if you're along and N of 85 in the Triangle, we're still in the game for Saturday Night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't had "torch" temperatures, and we've been cold.. but we haven't been THAT cold. Even the last storm that produced was borderline temp problems for most of central NC. I'll take a few days of torch if we snap back to crazy cold afterward... That happened 2-3 years ago. Let's see what happens next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthHillsWx Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 One thing about this storm is wet bulb will not help. Dew points going in are too high. It will be purely a dynamic cooling situation. Without rates, you will not approach freezing, and snow will not stick. I think the northern piedmont and triad is in the game to see snow fall but I seriously doubt if anyone gets more than a dusting in this set up. No antecedent cold air, little evaporative cooling, warm nose quickly moves in. Not being a downer but that’s just how I see it 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olafminesaw Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Not that it matters, but I can't make sense of Raleigh's forecast. All rain before 4 am then rain/snow. It's totally backwards (although some models do show a bit of back-end snow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 I'm technically on the western side of McDowell but pretty much right smack dab in the middle. I hope we can do a little better in this setup than Dysartsville or Glenwood and Nebo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signal is still a bit sketchy in the Statesville NC area Winter time is hard on the broadcast transmitter site. It's the highest such site in the eastern US...on Clingmans Peak, adjacent to Mt. Mitchell. Thanks for supporting public radio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
