Hope you get to see some snow, looks like the event is trending N with the snow!
Currently 60 degrees

Only made it to 34 at RDU after a forecast low of 32. Earliest freeze on record potential still intact, but we’ll see what happens.

GSO hit 28, so they’re good, though.

Lol records being set with bogus sensor

That may be, but it’ll be the record if it stands, either way. I’m sure it was below freezing in the surrounding countryside.

Kinda sad we got beat by ATL for last night's low. 😢

It's weird though isn't it? That in a field as scientific as meteorology that "records" are based off of one data point, seems the least scientific way to me

You know it's getting bad when the "normally cold" location was roxboro and now it's roxboro, Oxford, lousuburg, Siler city, sanford, southern pines, asheboro. Strange how the cold locations grew right?

Yeah, it is unfortunate. Unfortunately, measuring weather is difficult and it’s difficult to overcome local climate factors, etc. No doubt, a lot of the warming in recent years has had as much to do with local factors like increasing UHI than global or even regional factors (not that both aren’t a factor).

Indeed, although in last night’s case in particular it doesn’t look like Sanford, Siler City, Asheboro, or Southern Pines got below freezing, either.

RDU was warmer than surroundings but it wasn’t all that drastic . Yesterday night had no rhyme or reason seemed some places got cold others didn’t . Louisburg is interesting
 
Cleared 2 inches barely with more just to my west. Also had some decent winds with a line of storms around 3am.

It's a weird weekend here all this talk about severe weather tomorrow and the coats were out today and I saw snow reports in Kansas 🤣 we'll see what happens but apparently the winds are super high tomorrow already even without storms

Gonna be another high fire danger out west again too

And yeah probably gonna be freezes again behind this front

Looks like another non-interesting quick-hitting rain event mid-week. This weather is so boring. Hopefully Easter weekend will be nice.

I miss Shetley!
The South looks wet for the foreseeable future! I guess it’s good the Nino finally showed up! Also storm after storm up here also, will really help out the farmers after last years very dry summer and fall

Looks like we get another couple chances at freezes at RDU the next couple nights. Can we do it?

Night 1 is a no. The hell that is KRDU bottomed out at a toasty 36. 💀 KGSO only made it down to 34, too.

Night 2 isn’t looking promising, either, but we’ll see. It should be closer, but Wake County is only under a Frost Advisory. Durham County is under a Freeze Warning, however.
