Had some freezing rain earlier with temperatures fluctuating between 31-32. Has changed back to moderate sleet again though.

I’m very interested to see how tonight into tomorrow morning goes. Already seeing problems across the area due to the ice. We haven’t even seen the worst of it yet.
Well won’t you look at that...
Sleet accumulations are probably around an inch to and inch and a half right now with more moderate to heavy sleet currently. This band hitting us keeps reforming in the back end. Starting to also see ice forming on trees and plants as well.

Might wanna get after that thumbnail, just sayin' ?
HRRR would not be ideal for tomorrow morning. Ice would accumulate quickly with those temperatures. Has me at 27.

Damn that's beyond wild. Sure as hell won't see temperature swings like that here in GA. Wish we did tho, it would make our fall/winter seasons more fun for sure.

Hopefully I mean it is October but this storm is just reminding me of how its always been for several years now so close and yet nothing happens here lol
Gonna be interesting to see how tomorrow morning plays out around here. Models fairly consistent in showing very heavy precipitation moving in with temperatures in the upper 20s before daybreak. Probably gonna have more thunderstorms as well. The good news is by late morning they have the freezing line surging northward thanks to the stout north wind. Still with that heavy precipitation and hard freeze the ice may start racking up in spots. Already had issues throughout today’s wave.

Hey Buford. I haven't seen many temps rise dramatically from a stiff north wind. Did you mean south wind??

I'm definitely not a wxman, but I would rather have heavy freezing rain than light because light can accrete better on trees and power lines than heavy stuff. Heavy can just run right off normally.
When the heavy precipitation arrives I have my doubts it will be just freezing rain. I suspect it will be similar to today with a bunch of sleet mixed in as well which given the temperatures by morning could be problematic in other areas. Already seeing more lighter freezing rain as well so ice accumulation will only increase tonight. Hoping the freezing line can push out of here quickly tomorrow.
By the way before I meant that the wind would be moving northward from the south, thus hopefully driving in slightly warmer temperatures.
Is it just me or is this second front early next week trending stronger? Still think first official freeze won't come until mid Nov:
