Not sure what factors affect the AQI, but this is forest service controlled burn season in my area. We end up with smoke haze quite often during Jan-March.

Brief period of hail/graupel in this line coming through north of Augusta, GA

Guessing no records broken since no follow up post? I checked a few hours after this update and saw 1054.

Thanks, for the update. Didnt realize you were in Athens. Wondered what those returns were like over there. Sounds like about the same here just north of Augusta hoping I have several more hours of it though.

Ice pellets mixed with rain here just north of Augusta GA. The temp is just hitting freezing point and something neat is happening. The sleet pellets are triggering the freezing process on my truck hood. Note the sporadic lumpy areas. Its the little things, ya know?

For those curious about downstream, I currently have a light rain that corresponds to these returns. Temp 35 Dewpoint 30

Yep, been thinking the same. I wouldnt exactly call this a bitter artic outbreak but historically our best storms come on the tail end of a cold outbreak.

Middle SC back in the game all of the sudden!

Easy for you to say, caught my wife with the NAM lastnight.

I know most of you guys are focused on North Carolina and snow, but should I give any credence to the 12-24 hours of freezing rain/sleet that has been showing up for GA/SC on the last 4 GFS runs?

Its alot easier to look 6 days ahead when 1.5 inches of rain just fell @33-34 degrees!

Not seeing anything obvious along I-20 on webcams. http://www.511ga.org/#trfc&acon&hinc&xpln&cams&zoom=16.446508394568056&lon=-84.7374108154728&lat=33.73052769683241

The little "wisp" of returns that just swept through Augusta GA had some sleet pellets mixed with rain. Probably the extent of what we will see.
