Models like RGEM and HRRR look only a step away from the nam a few days ago for north GA

I’m at my outdoor job site just west. Nothing but heavy clouds here. Maybe dandruff.

That trailing band back in northern MS has filled in and has some ground truth with a mixed precip MPing near Oxford. That will be worth watching as it will come through NGA after sunset. IF it holds together.

There is a huge dry slot in the lower levels that is incredibly dry. It’s almost taken 2.5 goes to moisten the column in Birmingham. Still just a few spits of rain. Really not much cold source with this system to our NW to tap into. Flurries at best.

MPing snow report in Woodstock fwiw

It's 42 and nothing but grey clouds and snow wishes here on boarder of Woodstock and Holly Springs.

Too bad this system didn't come through 12 hours earlier, many of us had more cold to work with last night than now. In my area, despite thick clouds all day, my temp has gone from a low of 24 to 43 currently; way too warm for anything there. My dp is only 30 so there won't be much wetbulbing. Looks like some good low dps still in the mountains; elvation should see some flakage tonight.

I'm calling BS on that Woodstock report.

I'm thinking, based on the radar, Newnan will report rain/snow/sleet before Woodstock. Also, those returns north of Columbus are very interesting.

Nothing in Newnan yet.

Those heavier returns could help juice up the column and drop surface temps quicker across areas it moves through. Similar to what happened around Montgomery vs what has happened in Birmingham. Wish we had some mping reports down in the Auburn/Opelika area right now

There was another mPing report in Columbus of sleet just now.

Appears to be mostly liquid down I-85, according to this link:

Looks like flakes to me on that first camera?

Hard to tell but since nobody is looking up and doing "the squint", I'm going to assume it's rain haha

It's hard to spot anything on the GA DOT cameras.

I thought the same thing, but it only looks that way on the first camera.

Mostly rain with some sleet and snow mixed in. It reminds me of a change-over right at the beginning before going to all sleet and then snow.

If you watch the second camera, you can see some small flakes mix in. I think the first camera is just catching the run-off from an eave above.

MPing sleet report now in Thomaston as that bright band on radar moves in

That makes sense given the sounding. The boundary is pretty warm and sleet is going to make it to the ground as it falls much faster. Also, the DGZ may not be saturated sufficiently. The 935 to 850 mb layer is cooling quickly and likely cold enough to refreeze any rain or snow falling through it.
