  1. Got my Kestrel and ready here in CLT..... My 3 weather stations (Uptown, South Charlotte and Steele Creek) in Charlotte: 2 Weather Flows and 1 Davis VP2 Here
  2. Mets in Charlotte are kinda meh on it too....BP is usually spot on and yes...conservative.
  3. So we've got HRRR, NAM and Euro all showing some derivative of this if I recall....I85 from ATL-RAL....
  4. HKY, State wide or more central/eastern?
  5. I know the models showed this (how much?) but antecedent conditions in Charlotte and southern Piedmont/ Upstate adding to potential issues later
  6. Kind of what all have been saying. GSP echo's
  7. Not relevant to our weather but was in Windermere, Ontario Canada for 5 days. That storm was wicked. No power for 3 days. 60-70 mph winds, tornado in Ottawa. Lows approached 40F after the passage.
  8. My best party week at UNCW.... recall watching the Weather Channel at Red Dogs
  9. GSP: Afternoon AFD The concern through the period will be, of course, the amount of moisture across the area. PWs will flirt with and at times exceed record levels off and on through the period as surges of moisture spread overhead. With the tropical airmass, lapse rates will not be impressive even with the high moisture content and lower LCLs until later in the period, and some low-level shear may enter the mix Friday afternoon into Saturday. Any thunderstorms will of course just enhance convective rainfall rates. 12z GFS is giving storm total QPF (including the near/short term periods) through Monday 12z of 5-6", mostly along the I-85 corridor in GA/SC and then up the escarpment into NC. 00z ECMWF brings a max of over 8" through the same time period, concentrated in the upslope areas of the SW mountains, with widespread 3-4" elsewhere. Hopefully this will be just a good soaking rain, with decent amounts each day but not an overwhelming amount in any one 6-hr period, but as the totals continue to pile up from the short term and into the extended, we will have to monitor this closely.
  10. Look at the last two storms for CLT. Two flakes in CLT, crushed to the left of us. Then, two flakes in CLT and crushed to the right of us. I would take a F'ing ZR storm now..and then that went poof. Hey, at least I have frozen pipes in the Master Bathroom...so there's that.
  11. I would take rubber snowflakes at this point. "We just need cold air". Can we flag this for eternity?
