Just started sleeting here about 15 minutes. Light right now, but perhaps the atmosphere is starting to moisten up a bit

This is going to sound loony, but there is just such a randomness to it -- no discernable trends to grab a hold of -- models inconsistent with each other and run to run themselves. Wild swings that are difficult to explain. Very strange.
FV3 follows 3k nam and speeds up the last line, almost over clt by 5p now and through upstate sc

Sure, let's spin up a low east of JAX.

Is that what was being discussed earlier? Where storms in the gulf would enhance moisture upstream ?

It's a futurecast radar for next weekend.
Who had that on their bingo card?

Possibly yeah
The thing that has hurt us so far is we had moisture cutoff from the south down in Texas

This isn’t going to make anyone in Georgia or The Carolina’s feel great.
I was suppose to be an above freezing by 4 pm and I’m still under freezing as of right now.

This storms a tough one. I don’t know if we will know the outcome until it’s over. So many variables. It’ll be a great storm but final product is TBD

Can't say I'd be too bothered if it did, but I wonder if this would literally cause the moisture robbery shown on the HRRR?
What it shows near the coast is interesting, but there literally is a 50 mile swath around I-20 that is completely blank overall.

If I was 1/2 degrees cooler. I would be cooked. Light precip is coating everything here at 31

That is going to track up 85
We will see.. the rain is so spotty here in ATL

Nice looking WV loop with a trough over west TX , pulling up moisture out of the Pacific/Gulf, great example of warm air advection overriding an arctic airmass.

This is really bad, there’s already a glaze in Raleigh
The road is slick and there must be more freezing rain mixed in than I realized.

HRRR said to not celebrate too early.

I was looking at that until I saw the direction they were moving. SW to NE… once they ride up over the CAD it’ll probably give precip extra enhancement. If these storms were moving W to E it would be different
I thought about that too
Thanks for posting this! I knew something was going on but got no answer on the other forum site…. My amateur eyes aren’t just seeing things…. This will throw moisture back into the SE right?

Well if we're gonna really add up it's now or never

Yep. If that holds together it is gonna be lights out in NGA

I saw this as well, being in eastern NC I always look for something in the ATL to maybe enhance or help the pecip. Not sure this will but its always fun to hope somehow the models missed something.

That moist uplgide becoming evident on gsp radar. And I’ve got a fine mist falling now too. Should keep at least light precip going all night I think once we finish saturating.
So with the Triangle area already seeing ZR, are we just cooked and staring down the barrel of a major ice storm with minimal sleet? Or will heavier rates help us there? I'm not sure. We are still seeing sleet, but it's mixed with ZR more than I realized after taking a walk out there. The cars, etc. are already glazed over.
Well, we knew this was coming. The sleet mix should help a bit for now but soon it will switch over completely

It's apparently enhancing some light precip later tonight across the Eastern part of the Tri- ▪County area of the Lowcountry. Unfortunate that the KCHS radar site has a failure and the needed parts won't be in until Monday.

We might be in trouble
Yeah, I was hoping we would get at least 1" of sleet before the changeover, but perhaps not, although maybe we can mix our way to that.

This is definitely the peak here so far

SFC low has been expected the entire time, for at least the past few days models were showing energy off the first shortwave then tracking NE and eventually making its way right off the NE coast.

Absolutely awful. And we are still a couple hours away from the big band to come through here.

Can’t wait. In Clayton with freezing drizzle
