Yay, IP .....
For what area?So is this the front end thump that's being advertised or is there another thump coming ?
NCFor what area?
The heavy precip is supposed to hit north of NC and thump VA. The majority of the precip for the CAD areas in NC is not supposed to be until tomorrow morning. NC is not expected to get a lot of precip.
There's really only 1 front end thump technically speaking.... and what's occurring now in the southern parts of NC is part of that, still to come for areas further north. "Being advertised" not sure exactly what's being implied but the areas that have the advisories have yet to see the precip if that's what you are referencing.So is this the front end thump that's being advertised or is there another thump coming ?
Your phone battery keeps decreasing. It was charging earlier. You are not going to be able to take pics of that big frontogenic band or make it to the 18z models if you don't plug it in!pouring sleet/graupel and a few big wet snowflakes mixed in there, wish we could of saved this precip for later where the much heavier/steadier rates start so the column won’t be as moist resulting in a better chance for snow, otherwise it’s a big win seeing snow/sleet with this as the dominating pattern View attachment 16003
So is that second heavy wave our round two?
Yes. The band of precipitation over NE GA is part of the complex that could deliver a quick front-end thumping to parts of NC & VA and this band has become considerably heavier and features more hydrometeor melting aloft than it did about an hour or so ago. The secondary circulation generated by the frontogenetical forcing aloft is reinforcing the CAD dome and east-northeasterly flow/dry advection in the low-levels which might explain the brief break we've seen of late. However, isentropic upglide & warm air advection will eventually out and force the precipitation and associated frontogenetical forcing to advance northeastward into the Carolinas & Virginia.So is that second heavy wave our round two?
37 in East Cobb. Went from 41 to 37 quick.I’m 5 degrees colder than what was modeled earlier for this time. It’s 35 and was showing 40 on a few runs before. Wondering if cad is stronger.
I know it's more to it than this but I like the trajectory of that wave at the moment..... looks good so far. For folks up along the border timing is much better tooThe large area of precip moving through GA right now is the main wave that models had for tonight. The key will be how far east it gets and if there will be enough cooling to switch areas to snow/sleet in Central NC as it moves through.
