Wintry January 14-16th storm potential.

[SASQUATCH]

A lot of it's not even reaching the ground. On the radar it shows something over Tuscaloosa but they're just reporting cloudy.

I promise it's reaching the ground, been drizzling for 2 hours here nonstop

It’s 38 here with a stiff NNE breeze. It’s 3 degrees colder 15 minutes to my east and is heading this way. That HRRR warm 2M bias is rearing its ugly head. Makes things somewhat interesting for some freezing drizzle or maybe some light ZR potential if we keep this temp drop going

34.8 here and dropping. colder than everything modeling wise. At least could be some spotty freezing drizzle for some areas as WAA cranks up before a quick switch to cold rain as latent heat release occurs. It’s something I guess

I see pink

I am having a hard time believing that. We have had zero precipitation in Etowah, yet is says we will have 2 inches of frozen precipitation ?

Dang I was fixing to post that lol

925 temps would argue more sleet and less ice on the Canadian

Just out curiosity… how much has piled up? If you got a couple inches, that’s gonna be hard to melt

Funny thing is it's hard to tell. It never once got above 27 here all day, but road temps and latent heat release kept the roads mostly wet till after dark. (p.s. watching water roll down the gutter all day at 25° hurts your feelings a little bit). Also, we've got pretty tall dead Bermuda grass, but it's getting near the top of that. My car however, is covered in a metric ton of ice and sleet. Just a crazy setup right in this little area.

You’re not going to get precip until after midnight. The good stuff is still back west in Mississippi.

So with all the maps y’all are posting.. and I’m seeing sleet/zr in Troup county/LaGrange GA… why does FFC only have advisories down to I -20/Carroll county?? Am I missing something?

 

[Storm5]

Been drizzling for an hour cars and elevated stuff all Ice . Finally getting into decent returns

My best bet is they extend the advisories south early in the morning.

That is snow equivalent. Actual QPF wise it is showing around 0.2 inches of precip.

Yeah I think it's my phone. It's 29° where I live in bluff Park and my back porch is icing over but my phone says it's just cloudy.

My best bet is they extend the advisories south early in the morning.

Either that, or they totally ignore all the models y’all have posted here.. the rap model really hands it to us and I thought it was a good short term model.. isn’t the rap a version of the eta? Or am I confusing that with the NAM?
