The the observing manual recently changed the designation of graupel from GR to GS. GR is now used for hail. Observer must have missed the memo.
I think it's an illusion

dp at my house in matthews is 24.5 rn, so not quite as low as that is initializing at.
Oh well that’s not good, don’t want any RC before stuff moves in 
I will say if there’s any time for radiational cooling before clouds move in tonight, then dang
GSP, once again
As of 1235 PM: Still, no significant changes to forecast thinking
for now. That said, it is looking more likely that a rain/freezing
rain mix will dip a little farther south by daybreak, but do not
expect any significant icing outside of the current forecasted
areas. Current Warnings/Advisories still look well placed. Stay
tuned for the latest updates.

Guys this looks like the real deal is about to unfold and I have started alerting family and friends of the possibilities and how serious this could be. Most of the ones that I've talked to in the last hour or so are shrugging it off as another nuisance system. Hopefully they'll make some preparations, forecast shows lows in the 20s afterwards for a few nights.

Full day of sun, clouds roll in preventing RC, its gonna take some work to get sfc down to freezing from the mid 40s. Triad will be in for some ice, but I have major doubts for Chatham and Wake counties. That feed better be fierce or its another 32.5 degree rain like last time.

Intersting... Do you know what they were calling for before this? since I'm in Chattanooga I try to follow their thought process especially for Jackson county.

That’s honestly not bad all things considered. If we just get 0.6-0.7 tenths of precip we should be able to keep accrual well under 0.5 which is really about all we can hope for at this point.
