Wintry 1/9-12 Winter Potential Great Dane or Yorkie

Only precip panels we have at this time is this...you have to subract today's rain from what occurs on Fri/Sat

As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I’m supposed to fly from GSO to DFW early Saturday morning. So as a result, I’ve been keeping an eye on this storm. Assuming my flight isn’t delayed or cancelled, I wonder how quickly the DFW metro can get the roads into decent shape.

I really was not expecting to have to fly to Texas to see the biggest winter storm I’ve seen in around six years. LOL!
 
Everyone should take note of the performance of the wedge today in NC. Was originally forecasted to reach the 50s today, warmest I got was 41.1.

Imagine what the CAD could look like with even colder air preceding, a weak high to our north and a snow pack come Friday/Saturday.

Mainly a lurker here but I agree because we are still sitting at 34° here in Stokes County.
 
Here's a 12z model summary for Clemson, SC.

Probably a lot of sleet from Athens to Greenwood. Just guessing based off the crude maps.
Is Clinton in the same boat or any snow by chance?

**
the potential for a period of wintry precip remains a
concern, mainly over Friday night into early Saturday before
plain rain takes over during the day. Although the initial
concern was for a rain and snow mix, model soundings are
pointing towards a significant warm nose and the potential for
sleet or freezing rain to occur. Nevertheless, with this storm
still several days out and finer-scale details murky at this
time, keep an eye on the forecast for any changes that may be
warranted as we approach this event. Temperatures and winds will
be highly dependent on the outcome of this storm, so current
values may change considerably if the low tracks further inland
or off the coast.**

This is a great point. I was forecasted to get to 54 today and the warmest it’s been has been 44
