Don’t look now, but even the GFS is expanding the icing. Showing all of the huntersville/LKN area in the freezing rain all the way up to Alamance county.
Where I’m headed to (kannapolis) tommorow morning it’s 42/28 right now
Wtf your not lying lol, looks like the RGEM, is the GFS cold biased as well because it’s been surprisingly cold with this wedge ? It used to be the GFSs poor handling of it

Always seemed to do bad with CAD events before, too warm and couldn’t find the wedge. CMC has been the best global model in the past handling these events.
Wow
That would put me into play, that and the Canadian. Maybe this wedge ends up over performing. It has been known to happen before.

I wonder what made that run different
The parent high has trended stronger but that’s all I see

Come on man. This is not happening for us. I guess you'll have to awake to a cold rain to believe it

Speak for yourself. When your DP are that far off already, CAD is notorious for over performing, and the fact that there's a strong HP on the US border, I will take my chances.
36.5/32 Temp falling fast but DP has held steady at 32 for a few hours.

I mean... you’ll all be waking up to a cold rain regardless of whether it’s below 32 or not. Some of us will just see even colder rain
Exactly. Not that this is our storm. But if we can get a wedge to bring 40’s in mid April- the ones that extend all the way to Atlanta- while Alabama is getting severe weather. I’d think we can make something happen in mid December.

That CAD better start doing some work fast then. Wetbulb is 39 right now and the clouds are almost here which will limit our radiational cooling. You're going to need that to get the temp down to Wetbulb 32 because the dews are still way too high even if they are colder than modeling.
Most of us are not within ten miles of one another. If it’s not happening for you it doesn’t mean we stop discussing it. US = Southeast U.S. from Texas to VA. You = ?

The sun literally is just setting. You’re acting like the temperature is in the 60’s. I’m sitting at 44 with plenty of RC to go
I didn't say that it wasn't happening for anyone. I directy replied to a poster right here near me that thinks we're getting a big ice storm here.
I'm sticking to my guns and you do the same. We'll see tomorrow.

I never said a big ice storm. I said the potential is there with CAD already over performing. We get it you are dome and gloom 24/7.

Cloud deck is real close to over taking the entire upstate of SC. Will limit radiational cooling...we may struggle to get to 35 unless the I85 wall can slow her down!
Gonna be interesting to see how much radiational cooling I get Before this cloud deck moves in

43/28. Some small clouds out but generally still pretty clear
I'm not going to go back through this thread to find the 0.5" you said northern Spartanburg County would get. Thats a big ice storm there. I just follow what the data tells me and if that's doom and gloom so be it. The NWS must be doom and gloom too because they haven't even felt the need to issue any kind of advisory or even special weather statement for the county.
Are you north of town?
I still think you foothill folks can do well with this event. That low (that will kill the Washington folks) shouldn't have any affect on you. Dew points are high right now but you should be able to feed into lower dew points to the north during the event. We've seen this in the past where locations closest to the mountains (in the foothills) can overperform; maybe even into SC / Ne Ga.

Yep. Look at that call map with 0.5” in northern Spartanburg. We get it, you complain and hug whatever model shows the worst solution. And we always love to hear the apparent drought that boiling springs SC supposedly has ever summer too.

Yeah, I’m a good 7-8 miles north of 85. I do well when it comes to CAD, where folks I know towards south of town struggle at times.

36/27 Raleigh 40/29 Greensboro 44/29 Charlotte .... how come Raleigh gets so cold compared to those 2 many nights despite averaging warmer lows year round . Something is amiss here .

Calm before the storm. 31 degrees currently and not a cloud one overhead.
Just hit 39/29 been dropping steady from a high of 47 at 3PM. Going to get interesting here on the escarpment that's for sure.
32.7/29 how low will it go? I say 29
