Wintry February 6th-7th

10-20% means they just can’t totally discount that front end band that some of the models were showing in the upstate.
Pleasantly surprised to wake up to find that I busted low temp forecast by 5 degrees here under clear skies all night and right on cue a heavy cloud deck has rolled in. I'm counting on that earlier than modeled front end band to give MBY a little love here in the southernmost chance area to see some flakes before it goes over to rain later here. Good luck up there!
 
And I've got very light sleet. The trouble is 10 days ago on the map it was substantial, and here in reality it's just a precursor to rain. What I want is my preferred form of falling ice, but like the zmonster scale on the maps for later. But if one wants sleet one has to dance with the z rain potential.
 
I thought the clouds might slow the temperature rise, but no, its skyrocketed 10 degrees in two hours despite the clouds. The Atlanta area should get pretty close to 50 by noon it looks like.

Im not sure it will get that high but it might. We went from 25 to 35 pretty quick.

Sleet 40 miles south of Atlanta is pretty impressive....didn't realize it was that cold aloft even that far south.
 
It was 28 degrees an hour ago in Anderson. Now it’s 36. And this is even with cloud cover. It’s gonna be a cold rain.
