Wintry January 8-9, 2018 Ice threat

Yeah, looking at the soundings, current temps, dew points, dryness in the mid levels and surface, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if some of us in the ATL start of as snow briefly actually. Not to mention evaporative cooling in the mid levels and surface that would drop temps even more aloft and at the surface. So snow at onset is not out of the realm of possibility.

I certainly wouldn't rule out a brief period of snow if precip gets heavy enough.

3K NAM trends over last 4 runs.

The NAM is concerning... instead of breaking of precipitation field it keep it intact longer...

Even the changeover to rain is delayed a couple of hours in ATL. 18z was around 18z Monday, 00z run is around 21z Monday.

EDITED

RGEM initializing (2m temp so far) and nailing that so will see how this run goes in a few minutes

For a light glazing of ice ?

a glazing of ice is more dangerous than a little snow

 

[Xtreme Weather]

RGEM holds firm icy run for NE AL and NW GA been the most consistent last day no doubt if right and verifies different story

Chattanooga can’t seem to go under 35....

It’s of interest to see precip appears to try to breaking out as the wedge wall is being hit.

Yeah, and it even looks like some snow aloft on the radar

Why doesn't the HRDPS cover the Southeast?

mPing report in NE Etowah county of ZR already so if true precip already reaching the ground in AL

I would encourage if want and would like to register it is easy and you get to report your observations/conditions of what weather you are seeing (ground truth) vs radar (it has an app as well)

Temps falling. Now 31. Curious where it levels out. Can't believe we have a cut off low, some cold air in place, and some rain moving in, and can't get sleet and snow out of it. That's the thing about patterns in the south...they don't mean squat for the majority of us, lol. Oh, some one gets lucky, but most of us cry. Unless it's zr....then, of course, it's easy to find...when you don't want it at all

Radar looks stout back into Miss. Here in upstate temp is tumbling, may hit teens by midnight. 23 now

So as I suspected this scattered precip in E. AL is reaching the ground.

EDIT: I downloaded that mPING app, I'm gonna make sure to use it to send in my weather obs. If you see a yellow x ITP of Atlanta, that's me I tested it not too long ago from my phone.

To my understanding, it is a high res Canadian model. Therefore most of its data input is relative to the area of Canada.

Salt and brine everywhere. Hovering near Freezing from Chattanooga to near Cleveland and falling. Moisture streaming northeast

Nice to see NWS RAH finally decided to break out the advisories for Greensboro/Winston-Salem

 

[stormcentral]

Heavy precip in northern MS

I’ll have to choose a different color
