I only saw rain/drizzle with this band (as far as I know) but I was a bit north of the main higher reflectivity. One interesting thing about this batch of precip is the quick wet bulbing that is dropping temps right over north Fulton and extending into southern Forsyth and North Gwinnett. I expect as the heavier precipitation continues to move in, the temperatures will likely fall faster than anticipated (until catching up with the wet bulb/dew points).

We had a little lull in Eastern Forsyth County NC but the sleet has returned, sounds heavy. 17 degrees and 5 degrees dewpoint
Almost all of GSP precip comes from the rain band later tomorrow , bufkit tells the tale

34/27 with light rain finally starting. Winds have definitely gotten gustier, makes me nervous.
What’s going on off coast at JAX? Looks like moisture from Atlantic getting thrown in ??

We're starting to get saturated.

Very light dusting of snow but switched to predominantly sleet now
That’s the swath I’m worried about 
I haven't gone outdoors, but I also don't hear any pinging noise. I'll wait to check in the morning.Here as well . I guess that's good
Moderate sleet, but it's fixing to dry slot per radar. 16.5 so shouldn't melt tonight!

When is consistent precip gonna move in to upstate area, thought there would have been a bit more by now

Precip was not expected to start in the upstate until closer towards midnight
Dallas Ga specific location at is at 36.3 and Dewpoint of 32 and about 80% humidity. We have spitting lite rain overhead and its cold wind blowing. We dropped about 2 degrees in past hour and half. Wet bulb should be about 34 or so with the moisture moving thru it won't get us below freezing but close and I guess we will see if the CAD then comes in later as heavier stuff comes thru

Already bad news, turns out that 925mb layer isn't doing quite enough here.. Not good given we were expected to stay as sleet for at least several hours in Toccoa GA, Currently 30 degrees and light rain. Freezing Rain is occuring now.
we're getting there. RH creeping up near 60-65%. most of the latest CAMs bring solid precip in here in the 11p-12a window

It's rolling lower. 35-37 at most Wunderground stations around the area, with wetbulb below freezing.
I just don't know about precip. The southern part of the returns keeps wanting to evaporate easily.

Obs 15 miles NE of Greensboro 17/9 currently light freezing rain. I didn’t think the switch from sleet would be until afternoon torrommow. We might be in serious trouble in the Triad.

Looking at this one in central and south Texas and it looks like SA and AUS may see some significant icing. I can’t think of two cities I’d like to drive in less with freezing rain.

18/11 and it's still light to moderate sleet falling west of Winston. Not seeing any ZR yet. Let's keep it that way.

That's not what locals and all the others was saying. Most was saying between 4 and 6pm

That's just not true. Like 3 days ago it looked like noon and then it was delayed to 6 then 9 and within the last 24 hours closer to midnight

The local Mets absolutely was, I heard them plainly say just today it would be starting between 4 and 6pm
Such a smart idea. I love this. My son and I are going to go blow some up right now.
I hope and pray you are right. So far, little has happened where I live about five miles south of Raleigh but the radar is filling in.

down to 33 over 21 here. probably freezing in the tree tops. north of 85 really looks like a lock to be hit hard...hoping the athens area is far enough south that the heaviest precip misses us to the north.

Bone dry here and 27/20. I need a sleet pellet or something for a morale boost.

The torture of being a weather weenie. Even when you know it's a great thing to not be getting slammed by ice...your inner weenie is annoyed. I try to explain this to normal folks and they look at me like i'm a nut lol
Moderate sleet... everything is slick. 17degF with a wetbulb of 14. Maybe a touch of light snow.
