Freezing Rain Advisories are out per Rah/NWS. up to a balmy 27/-3 at 1:46 pm. That will end up a 8-9 degree bust on the high temp today.

And boy is Monday/Tuesday looking Winter Storm Warningish on the Euro

I know I should know this but what county are you in again?

Northern Randolph County. I'd put the location but can't figure out how to edit profile.

Of course stupid NAM is showing almost .2 qpf all zr up this way now..... hmmm

4k NAM has a nice swath of .1 - .15 through central NC, Shane's right he's a magnet for zr!

I know you can't be this precise but the 4k has a pocket of almost .25 ice just to my NW, makes one wonder if there might be a couple of pockets of "heavier" precip....interesting but I've seen the NAM do this before over and over and over

Yeah that 4km NAM run gets your attention a little but the HRRR isn't impressed nor is the 12km NAM. Lets see what the GFS has

GFS has a whopping trace to almost .1 which is fairly consistent but one might could argue it is a tick higher with the qpf or at least a touch more widespread.....  feels like I'm squinting for flurries at 2 am

...Light freezing rain and drizzle expected across Northeast
Georgia tonight...

* Location...Northeast Georgia, particularly in the lower
  elevations.

* Hazard and Timing...Light freezing rain and drizzle will spread
  across NE Georgia after midnight and continue through 5 AM
  Saturday. The freezing rain and drizzle will change over to rain before
  sunrise.

* Accumulations...Ice accumulations will be 0.02 inches or less
  and mainly on elevated surfaces.

* Impacts...Icing may create slippery road conditions especially
  on bridges, overpasses and sidewalks.

* Temperatures...Will dip to 32 degrees just before midnight then
  warm to 34 to 35 degrees by 5 AM Saturday.

Precautionary/Preparedness Actions...

Freezing rain or Freezing Drizzle will result in hazardous travel
conditions. Drivers are urged to slow down, leave plenty of
following distance, and exercise extreme caution at intersections
and on highway on and off ramps
 
Temps were supposed to reach the upper 30s in the Triangle today, the climate report shows only 32F. Yea, that's a bust. The wet bulb is 23F right now, probably going to see temps crash into the mid 20s before WAA takes over... If we bust even half as much as today did temp wise, we're in trouble on Monday
 
Forecast high today was 45, made it to 40.8.  Currently back down to 36.7 with a DP of 12. East wind at 11 G 15.  Forecast low tonight is 33.  Sure going to be close... if the temp continues falling we'll be below the forecast low quick.  Interested to see how this plays out tonight for those of us in the CAD areas of North GA.  Not expecting much.  Maybe some drizzle if were lucky lol.  Holly Springs/Towne Lake area.
 
Wow.  Gainesville is already down to 29 degrees?!  That's below the forecast low.  Or is this wrong?

Well here near Monroe, GA it's 31.. and GFS had progged at 36 so thinking CAD is a bit stronger at surface. The determining factor will be strength of CADD keeping precip away longer. As of now..closest radar returns are North MS and extreme NW AL
 
28/-2. Radar echoes started blossoming out over SC the past hour. Sure it's virga but waa is underway. See if I can get an hour or 2 of frzng drizzle.
 
.5 degrees away from our forecast low tonight of 36. we will see way down here in the Columbia, SC region.  We never left the 30's today.  Cloud cover should limit cooling, but our dew is 8F with precipitation evaporating currently.

Although, winds from the SSW + WNW might just keep us right here.

Judging by precip type radar the virga echoes are showing snow nc,va state line counties. So If you could get something to reach the ground it would definetly be sleet in next hour in NC, if not a quick flake or two. But this stuff is so light and shallow with such dry air. Be hard pressed to overcome. Well see

Nice little band to your south, maybe you get an ice pellet or flurry... would be nice to see the radar fill in instead of these patches

East wind at 12 G 18.  DP 16.  Temp slowly falling...34.0.  Already below the forecast of 35.  Too bad there isn't any precip around north ga!

That's the problem. We just cant quite ever get the precip and cold temps to come together.

That's a nice little wedge we got ourselves.  Seems to have held the warming at bay for the time being at the al/ga line.  Those folks have been near 50 today and have fallen back some.

.05 precip, max.  i just went outisde and busted my butt in the boonies though.
 
Roads around Raleigh sound really bad. Hundreds of wrecks and cars stuck. It doesn't take much to cause big problems on the roads

Had a nice glaze this morning probably about 1/16 of an inch or a little better on vehicles. For the most part roads were fine but overpasses were a sheet of ice

what a waste of time this event was. i ended up with 1 bead of ice on a metal rail.  it took a metal surface that was 5F or colder than the air temperature to get a bead of frozen liquid.  From the precip amount, even that struggled.
