Wintry Jan 23-27 Winter Storm Obs

31.5 with rain falling. I just came back from the roof and it’s a disaster area.

We might get a 25 degree bust on highs in CHS today. Inland areas barely above 32, downtown at 40 when highs were supposed to be around 60 late evening

We're not done yet, but the trends have been for much colder at the surface. The temps just off the deck around 2400 were measured at 55 several hours ago. Huge inversion.

I've warmed ever so slight...25.5 on my elevated sensor and 26.5 on my other. It's going to be something to see what unfolds this afternoon. I am hoping for some sleet but if not it's going to get icy really really quick.

One last shot at the euro..even the 12z euro is on a different planet. By now it has most of us above freezing and by 4 way above freezing. And look at how far north it has the surface low vs what the higher res models show over south to south central ga. What a fail by the euro. 3euro.png

Can confirm that the squall brought some 25-35mph wind gusts which took down a few larger branches in my backyard, along with making the sky quite dark. There was a period of heavy rain mixed with sleet, so the dynamic cooling is a thing here. I am located 20 miles north of ATL on the Roswell/Milton border.

Surprised that even after the initial leading edge came through, there is still a little bit of sleet mixing with the rain. Here are a few of the pingers on my back deck. Not a ton though IMG_2813.jpeg

We’ll see whether much accrues as ice. Heavier rain often doesn’t accrue as well and can even help melt some of the preexisting from my experience. In this case 850s are boiling relatively speaking (way up near +12 to +13C or mid 50s F) vs ~50F this morning. One would think that would be a good thing and possibly raise the 2m temp up a little.

I’m much more concerned in places like Gwinnett County, Athens, Cumming, Dahlonega, etc.

RDU with .30" of QPF. Lets see what we end up with after the squall line.

Little underwhelming on the QPF so far, the drier models might've been more correct in the end (surprise, surprise). Of course, the squall line has a chance to make that a moot point, especially if it's predominantly sleet (since it looked like it could even be rain according to modeling a day or two ago).

GSO sitting right .5 so far and will double it up this afternoon and wind up close to 1.0

which is pretty close to what was forecasted by models. Several had over 1.25 ish. So we shall see
