Reports of a few sleet pellets mixing in down in Columbus NC…. At 47*. Seemed strange but mom has a gas fireplace with a metal flue and said she could hear it quite clearly…. She could see a few pellets bouncing on the deck…

Very dry layer at the surface. I've seen it sleet up around 51/52 degrees before, always weird.

Even the HRRR has more than that. Actually the HRRR verbatim might have some thunder in convective bands late Monday.

I really wonder what it is (or isn't) seeing.

It's basically keeping what it has further North. Has the flow off Lake Michigan aimed toward Wva whereas other Models have it further South toward SEKY and the SW tiip of VA and on to the TN/NC Mountains.

Wind has been howling since at least 4 am when it woke me up.  Just finished my hike up to the top of the mountain, wind is ripping and Crabtree Bald has frozen trees starting around 4500’ or so, clouds above that.  They are just knocking on my door step but are staying just to my north up around the Sandy Mush Bald area.
