Wintry Dec 8-10th Winter Storm

[SimeonNC]

Real nice push of frozen precip into NE GA and SC on the latest HRRR. Quite a nice jump south and southeast compared to the last run.

That is some heavy snow near the sleet line.

850/925mb temps is running around 3°C in metro Atlanta according to the SPC mesoscale analysis maps. I don't have to go back and look at model guidance to know that's a couple degrees cooler than forecast for this current time.

EDIT: Actually 850s just dropped to 2°C across metro ATL (17z)

I'm at 39° in Tucker.

A half million outages, whoa

Unfortunately many of us have found out the hard way the past several years that’s often at least sleet mixed with snow on the model

Euro at 24 much better for upstate or SC. 850s colder everywhere.

I’m still stuck at 40 degrees in liberty so. Until I see temps drop I’m not feeling that optimistic

 

[Ethan80963]

Can someone post the first frame of the euro? I see a lot of people saying it was really good for the upstate.

At my location, Dew point is down to 25 from 27 2 hours ago, a degree makes a difference, also brad p just said something about dew points dropping quick

 

[Avalanche]

Okay this is alarming, both 925s and 850s have warmed and the 1038 center of high pressure over Ohio seems to have disappeared.

Edit: I am talking about NC.

For real??

You are a lock for 1-5-2” of frozen slop

Just got to Maggie valley and the change over to snow was at 3700 feet by soco craft and tower temp do dropped from 36 to 35 on car thermometer.

Are you up further than Ghost Town??

I could be mistaken but 850s and 925s seemed to have warmed from the last time I checked. And on the MSL setting, there was an area of 1038 pressure around Ohio early, and now its not there.

12Z Euro not as good for the Eastern Piedmont of NC.

 

[Jimmy Hypocracy]

This is going to shape up to look like last December's storm isn't it??

How does it work that at my place 2 hours south of Charlotte it's only 41? I'm very intrigued by that.

43.9 according to my station.

I think the FV3 has a thing or 2 it needs to learn about the warm nose around here. We'll see if it gets taken to the cleaners by Dr. No.
