    No one *knows* what this is going to do. It seemed LOCKED IN for a major ice storm. Now, we’ve got Mets doubling down, Mets refusing to make a call till go time, Mets cutting totals in half, Mets flip flopping with each model run, Mets calling out other Mets? weather apps spitting out 8” of snow, people wondering if their power will be out for days or if theyll be at work Monday. I mean this is absurd.

    In all the storms we’ve tracked here this is my least favorite and it’s not even close

    NAM is honestly a nuisance event in Raleigh. 0.30” of mixed QPF then the rest is plain old rain. WTF are we getting an ice storm or insignificant slop?
  4. NorthHillsWx
    Hopefully they’re right, 0.30” though still impactful is nowhere close to what happens when you approach 0.50” I guess that’s why they waited to pull the trigger on the warning
  5. NorthHillsWx
    Yea, that was a pretty drastic step back. Haven’t seen much that supported the original amounts recently but they went below most everything I’ve seen come out

    RAH really cut ice totals back for Raleigh. 0.36” forecast, nearly cut in half from earlier. Anyone know what their thinking is on that? Less QPF and warmer? Seems like a huge step back but thankfully impacts would be significantly better

    It already has busted thermals bc of a GLL it’s gonna rain

    RAP is hours of light ZR. That is how you add up accrual

    Looking closer at the 12z CAMs even though a lot of moisture was going north, you can see the showers that develop in the dry slot and I think that’s what some here have been picking up on- if you’re in the wedge even though you might get the dry slot it likely doesn’t stop precipitating. Happens all the time with warm season wedges, supposed to be 70 but stuck at 50 and drizzle, light rain. Not convinced the moisture goes north of us but if it does it doesn’t mean it stops the precip

    Everyone’s burnt out. Storm that was supposed to start tonight is waiting till Sunday lol

    On my way to the new storm thread

    ICON is a massive hit across the board
  13. NorthHillsWx
    I’ve been in this boat since yesterday. The trend to lower QPF has been clear and the dry slot is a distinct possibility. Would be in line with how the rest of the year has played out
  14. NorthHillsWx
    Wonder is RAH is waiting to make sure there will be enough moisture to hit warning criteria east of current warning area?
  15. NorthHillsWx
    Here’s how it helps us- the front end thump is roughly 0.30” in Raleigh. As depicted, that is all sleet. So if we only get 0.30-0.40” the rest of the event assuming runoff and maybe plain rain at the end there just isn’t enough QPF for the high end ice totals we were talking about 0.50”+
  16. NorthHillsWx
    Huffman brought down his ice forecast. Cited less QPF and more sleet. Said further tweaks down may be needed and that areas might avoid a repeat of 2002
  17. NorthHillsWx
    We will see, repercussions are massive

    NAM just wants to keep precip north with this system
  19. NorthHillsWx
    To me the biggest question of the storm is now QPF. Is this in the 0.75” range (CAMs) which would no doubt cause issues but not anything like some of the 1.5-2” outputs we’d been seeing on the globals. There is a huge gap between those sets of guidance and that will dictate whether this is a memorable ice storm or just a sloppy mixed bag with moderate amounts of each precip type
  20. NorthHillsWx
    RAH mentions decreased QPF on overnight modeling for the NC piedmont in their recent AFD. Still going with 0.5-0.75” ZR
  21. NorthHillsWx
    Eric Webb just said he sees more failure modes for a major ice accumulation in piedmont areas than he did this morning: https://x.com/webberweather/status/2014544089119953034?s=46&t=NyKvXvI1o-sJQb-68mmo4g

    Yea the ice area is likely shifting to climo regions. The wish casting mostly for Raleigh. Verbatim still an ice storm but worst of it is clearly heading to climo
  23. NorthHillsWx
    Mess but not what we thought… if we end up with an inch of sleet and 0.25” of ice after what we thought I mean that can only be described as a whiff on the forecast
  24. NorthHillsWx
    All of the upstate to part of the triangle is above freezing for the last wave of precip. Wow, this might be a forecast whiff
  25. NorthHillsWx
    GFS appears to have ticked north, not insignificantly
