I live in Iredell but this still looks awfully Conservative compared to even Brad P and anything else I’ve seen. If I’m missing something someone tell me.... but How do they Have Charlotte/Concord at Nothing Zero absolutely nothing? While Others have that area 1/10-1/4” , That doesn’t make sense

Go look at the one they just put out it’s way up and will likely go higher. StormTotalIceWeb.png

Still looks a bit soft. But I guess no need to predict An apocalypse just yet as we still have 18hrs to flip flop. (Maybe they’re expecting a correction back NW trend wise slightly)  I don’t see any reason ALL areas Along/ NW of I-85 even in Meck/Cabarrus shouldn’t be 1/4” +. Honestly I’d just put a blanket 1/4 -1/2” Swath over the entire Forecast area in NC (Minus Monroe) no need for specific amounts

I agree was reading there discussion the day shift is going to decide who to change over to Ice storm warnings later today. Would not be shocked if the advisory's get upgraded also. Based on the latest guidance from this am the trends continue.

Meanwhile over off Morehead and Freedom Drive at the other Charlotte station ....:blink:

 

Well I would go with WCNC at least there forecast is going with what GSP is saying and the latest guidance. Also that map there showing is there in house model not actual forecast map like WCNC.

Yup. 3k NAM definitely looks a touch warmer at 06z compared to 00z. Retreats the 32 deg line up to NC/VA line during the day Thursday and keeps it there thru Friday... Initialized cold and dry air pretty well here in the Triad depicting about 27/19, I’m sitting at 26.4/18.5 currently.

Oh your fine :) and yeah he is. About to see what WSOCTV said and I will post back.

Update: About the same as WCNC there calling for 0.25 to 0.50.

3K NAM 2m temp trend loop at 10am Thursday. Hoping that last frame is the start of a new trend

I mean I know some don't want an ICE storm but this winter has sucked and tbh this might be the last winter type storm we get. At least for my area I hope to get close to 0.50 even if that's mean power being out for a bit.  And yes I know that might sound crazy but I stand by it!

At this point, it's equally important to track dewpoints and cloud cover throughout the day as it is to look at the models. Right now dewpoints are running a degree or two higher than the NWS forecast and some high clouds are moving towards  the piedmont. 

Not sure a degree or two matters that much at this point in the piedmont but for fringe areas for sure.  Still a lot of dry air draining down from VA.
