Intensity dropping like a rock now. Moisture mostly done and temps will soon cause the real issue of the day....black ice. PM rush hour and tonight will he horrible with untreated roads. Down to 33°.
Just need some moisture here in the Triad. Already 2° colder than modeled at 33°. We could sneak down to freezing soon with no cloud cover. Don't you Virginia boys wreck a forum party!
School closings gotta be coming soon for the Triad and northern counties, right? If they closed for Friday, this is modeled as a higher impact event during school hours. Really curious to see what WSFCS does here.
We're going to wake up to some advisories tomorrow? This is looking more legit than Friday's whiff and we cancelled school from VA to FL for that nonsense! Models definitely not backing down inside of 48 hours.
Everything you said here is the equivilent of me just watching Stranger Things. As a matter of fact, what do you want to bet they are having a Miller A in the Upside Down! It's the only thing that makes sense!
This is a very different answer for your area of VA vs most of the NC foothills. Showing a bit more snow for you. Model runs later tonight should be interesting to see if the trends hold.
Not trolling, just a novice observation and welcome any explanations. But I am so tired of seeing the comment about "snowpack being laid down will help us" every single year. Anyone want to elaborate on why snowpack across the mountains and 500 miles northwest will help our battle against a nearly decade long SER problem? Sure it may help with cold-er air chasing our moisture from the southern stream. But I honestly cannot recall a single event where snowpack was featured as the reason our temps were favorable enough to enable a winter storm. What's the thinking here? (And any case studies?)
My obs....COLD AF....and it took one day of the heat coming on to make me sick. Happens every year! I need a humidifier asap.
What a completely unreasonable event yesterday!
All I can think about regarding the recovery is mold. Everywhere. Helene was terrible here in the NC mountains with mold remediation needs. But in Jamaica with no power for months and the high heat and humidity, its going to be awful. Lot of folks starting over there. And they should seriously be looking at concrete printed homes. Never a better case study than now.
I want to see this in 4 weeks when I know it is here to stay and will only get colder. End of August is waaay too early to get excited. October 90s are a thing you know!
