Wintry Jan 15-16 Winter Storm Discussion & Obs

Temps are dropping fast here - I’m in the southeastern most part of Bartow County, just across the border from Cherokee and Cobb counties, near Acworth, GA. We’re at 38 degrees (down about 4-5 degrees in the last hour or so), east winds only about 4-9mph at the moment. Raining, but no mixing yet. Definitely concerned about those forecasted winds!
 
I wonder how long it will take to see BL temps reach freezing in the upstate. 39/31 for me; long ways from 32. Looks like 850s and 925s are below freezing (925s barely) right on the line. Gonna take some heavy rates to crash those temps without evap cooling. I always hate it when what falls can't accumulate.
 
If tomorrow ends up looking more like the fv3 than the 3k NAM, I might have something new to add to the watch list. It does seem to have LP a litter farther south. Have to be a ? and not just buy the thermals of the nam...even if I know better.
 
It is currently 43...obviously not going to get any wintry weather (why am I under a Winter Weather Advisory? the only explanation that I would have would be in case we bust low on the temps), but it shows that at times while tracking this, CAD wasn't modeled well since it can extend to here.

Like I think one GFS run had me close to the 60s for tomorrow and uhhhh...no.

I'm guessing we drop into the mid-30s and the high ends up being in the mid-40s.
