With those numbers it’s virtually impossible for me to reach the freezing mark. Speaking for mby only. 3k NAM now looks like no one in SC ever hits the freezing mark. Looks a lot like the HRRR

Yeah you are supposed to wet bulb below freezing. Should be a limb snapper there

precip entering NW Upstate - looks like NE GA counties (Lumpkin, White, Habersham, Rabun, Towns, & Union), as well as Northern Oconee/Pickens counties all have a wintry mix
my current wet bulb is 33.0

18z RGEM is still impressive.
Yet I’m under no advisory. Ffc did mention they were concerned about wetbulbing though
Hmm. What area?

Where is "your area" in GA?

FFC is only concerned about the higher elevations whose wet bulbs are actually AOB freezing. Otherwise, it's hello rain.

Unless you're in the far NW part of Dawson in the highest elevations (above 2000-2500'), you will more than likely only see rain.
I’m having a hard tone trying to figure out how the RGEM is coming up with these ground temps. Looks like it has temps crashing in Upstate sc when the heaviest precip arrives tomorrow morning. Looks like rate driven ZR which doesn’t make the least bit of sense to me

I disagree but we will see

Good question, it’s probably a little biased cold. Though there is a strong hp to our north.
It’s sleeting at my house right now. Looks brief though based on radar.

We need pics to calm our aching souls lol.
Some snow pics
Sleet with a bit of snow mixed in I Hillsborough.

Well I hope I'm wrong and I know CAD events are known to be sneaky, but I just have a hunch that we won't see anything, especially since the upstate will even mainly be seeing rain. I always look upstream (wedges) to see what our weather could be like, and borderline for them usually doesn't bode well for us way down here.

My flight back to Charlotte tonight got cancelled because of this storm.

A couple of observations regarding the HRRR and RAP. Both models have finally caught on to the ice storm for the WRN Piedmont tonight. Both models also want to switch the NW Piedmont back to snow/sleet Sunday morning. I doubt that will be the case...but I'd take it any day over additional ice accrual.
That said, I suspect this will be significant icing event for this area.

Rgem flips winds in the western piedmont to north during the event and dew points never inch above freezing like they do here. Something interesting to watch for those areas.

GFS has been more icy a few runs in a row now. Wonder how it handles low level temps in damming pattern.
RGEM gives me .7?????? There's no way

Can anyone post the RGEM ice total map?

I think the activity is just too spotty to bring the temps down. Hard to even wet bulb down unless you have hard enough precip.

It's publicly available on pivotalweather.com. You should go there and play around with the site. It's very user friendly and fun to compare different model runs.
Wetbulb of 31.91 right now

Thank you for this info. I’ve been using tropical tidbits I’ll give that one a try

Overall, I like it better than Tidbits. They also have the ice maps, snow depth maps, Kuchera snow maps, etc...

We are going to be too warm here unless in the mountain areas.
I’d say Gainesville and northeast gets some ice
Radar has some mix on westside of town, they're not really colder over there so maybe something coming soon
