Update: i had not looked south as of that post. There's plenty of clouds to the south but they don't cover the sun. GSP says 64F, 3k only gets me to 59F.
Mild frost with it being 27 this morning. ?Looks like @metwannabe and the north of 40 crew might have a mega frost in the morning if the clouds cooperate
Confirmed, currently sitting at 27 may drop another degree before sun up
That and if you're going by RWI it's probably a degree or 2 warmer than surrounding rural areas, plus I'm in a protected rural location that always runs a degree or 2 colder.Crazy to see Rocky Mount only get to 38 when 30 miles up the road at Halifax they got to 27....easy to see where the cloud deck ended.....
I’m honestly scared the ULL ends up becoming a weak wave that gets squashed because our luck
Y’all are gonna hate me for this but we’re gonna screw this up with a weak ass wave watch lol
RWI airport is outside the city in the countryside on 97 . It’s nothing but fields out that way! I like going out there , there’s the Tar river reservoir near it and a cool dam and fishing spotsThat and if you're going by RWI it's probably a degree or 2 warmer than surrounding rural areas, plus I'm in a protected rural location that always runs a degree or 2 colder.
Yeah that mean has yet to work out for us yet ! Remember the cold bias ! Remember the stretch of nothing but 30s for highs it had us for ? The cold weekend cycle is killing me though that much has been happening at least.Eps mean drops highs back into the 50s around mid month. Looks like we are going to get into the warm weekday cold weekend cycle ?

It's actually insane how close we've come back to that weenie CMC run from several days ago w/ our northern stream s/w diving into IL/WI, with only very minor differences at 500mb.
We put all the pieces in about the right place, a little stronger upper low and less amped northern stream encourages better phasing/interactions, and that's the difference between cold & dry vs snowstorm in eastern NC.

This has been the story of what this winter has been for us. Any other time, the NW trend would've occurred. On the bright side, atleast we are mostly likely done with cold rain events for the year.
