GSP starting to mention higher wind gust now for much of its CWA. This is going to very serious for many of us unless we somehow get sleet rather than ZR. They now think the warm nose will go all the way to even Avery county now.

Looking at the newer model runs, it’s gonna be puking snow 85 and N, in Upstate, then probably mostly sleet with colder temps being modeled! If I lived Lauren’s to CAE, I’d get the generator ready!

I'd like to see it trend earlier than that to start--preferably before sunrise so we can increase the chances of seeing white on the ground for longer.

We are going to see a white ground regardless of when it comes in .. temps at 27 with all sorts of precip whether it’s ice or snow it will give the area a white tint as it builds

By the way those wind gusts on the HRRR would be something else. Probably too high, but even if you take off about 10-15 MPH you still get 40-45 mph wind gusts.View attachment 106097

Man, that's near hurricane-force gust modeled in N. Ga.

If anything near to these values materializes, this is going to be a storm talked about for years.

Creeping south&west again. It's going to be a sleepless night.

Yeah those clouds are thickening g up too. I was in Madison (Morgan co) few min ago and car therm never got above 46. I think this is our high and hopefully crashing hard from this point.
 
If I lived in Greenville SC and had this forecast, I would need new pants! TR going to get 12”+92CA88C8-9E43-4D3E-AE8F-23CB02906F8F.png
