Wintry February 19-21, 2020 Winter Storm

[8miles]

Starting to get some precip in statesville. Light rain right now

12z cmc pushing some 3” totals far north west into the western Triad/foothills. Some maps could bust on the low side up this way if it’s right.

-IP/-RN just started back, up to 45.3 and DP has dropped to 31.3. Feel pretty confident in the DP/RH readings as I have 3 sensors that monitor and all very closely aligned. I do not recall a time in memory here where we went from 45F at the surface to accumulating snow in 8hrs.

42/27 light rain maybe a few sleet pellets still mixed

It's 44 and 29 in Wake Forest. I'm a little worried about the temp, too. Hope the rates make it crash fast.

HRRR seems to be increasing each run for the western piedmont into the foothills. It went from blanking us to 2” maybe more once it’s done.

Looking at the crappy maps on Pivotal, it looks like the latest RAP has increased snow amounts in Raleigh from 2" to 3"(Kuchera). Not much but everything helps. Still looks like a snow hole for the folks in the Triad.

Can confirm it’s snowing right outside of Knoxville Tenn on 75.

Probably not flipping to snow until the 4-6 pm time frame for us unless this starts banding up and goes crazy before

Man, I thought it would start a lot earlier than that here. Webber's map still looked good for my backyard, though. I thought it would have to start earlier to get those amounts.

latest wrf and hrrr showing light precip thru 4pm or so for clt, likely won't switch to snow until then. qpf not verifying as heavy as some of the models were showing.

 

[wake4est]

Precip just began as sleet here in SW wake county

 

[tucker]

This is so depressing for Chattanooga. Knoxville has now switched over to Snow.

 

[Broken024]

HRRR beefing up totals back into the upstate

 

[superjames1992]

Nothing up here yet in SW Durham. It's cold, though. Grabbing lunch now.

Latest RAP starting to run crazy totals like the NAM had yesterday

If we don’t waste a ton of QPF a late start may be a good thing

I think this will end up affecting Charlotte to Raleigh too. This won’t stop the snow accumulations but I think could keep things fairly light. 1-3” Raleigh and dusting to 1” Charlotte.
