Sleet/rain mix in Raleigh

Low of 30.0 on the dot. Once again, heavy frost

I’d go to @BornAgain13 backyard that looks like a good spot

0z NAM was colder and more snow northern piedmont

Canadian is a beautiful storm for central NC on Monday

Highly highly unlikely in triangle. N of 85 I’d expect some sort of delay if WWA is hoisted, which could happen even for small amounts since it would coincide with rush hour.

Mondays event has a much higher ceiling than Friday. If you get more of a negative tilt to the trough you can really crank a coastal. At this point I’d say less likely given the progressive nature of the pattern and it being NS dominant but with a -NAO and well timed Arctic high this is one that could develop quickly on modeling. Definitely interesting to watch tho a lot to work out with 2 systems this weekend. Fridays event is pretty straight forward. Kind of an overrunning event with transient HP. Earlier arrival and heavier rates equals better chance of seeing flakes. I’d say the ceiling is a stripe of 1-3” likely in southern Virginia. Without much upper level support and a strung out system, plus marginal cold with a transient HP, I think you’re on hopium if you think it would be more than that. Can say if you’re in western and the northern half of piedmont areas in NC and the southern half of VA you definitely stand the chance of at least minimal accumulation. Would be fun given the early November system to see most of the state with at least 1 accumulating snowfall before Christmas even if just marginal

HWO from RAH reads like the most depressing event of all time: A cold rain may mix with snow and sleet Friday morning. A very light coating may result, mostly on elevated surfaces, before melting and washing away in a cold rain on Friday.

Low of 29.2 and the heaviest frost of the year. Car doors were frozen shut with residual moisture from yesterday’s rain. Posted in the November obs but picked up 1.09” yesterday and high topped out at 44.1

I’ll take whatever the gfs is smoking on that Monday system

GFS is just hilarious. Says “what warmup” this run

Agreed. Heavier rates with the high still in a decent spot Friday morning would most certainly mean snow for the northern half of the state. Timing (earlier) rates (heavier) are keys

12z Friday it’s gone from 41 to 36 in Raleigh over the last 4 runs that’s not a small tick

Still ticking colder every run

Ended with a great 1.09” rainfall. Stuck at 42.3 as of this writing

It’s before Christmas and we’re on our second and possibly third threat. (First being early November snow to the coast). Maybe we don’t all see flakes but that’s a heck of a start compared to last 7 winters

GFS looks to be coming in colder

ICON looks like Euro. Snow in northern half of NC and Virginia

It is absolutely pouring, and absolutely miserable. Much needed rain though

Starting to get back into heavier returns. Looks like this might be an over performer in the rainfall department in the worst drought areas in NC

Sitting at 39 with 0.78” in the bucket so far

Cold seems to be backing off for tonight’s system in CAD areas. See WWA hoisted for a lot of mountain/foothills areas but icing looks extremely limited now

High of 52 after a morning low of 34. Was quite raw this afternoon, picked up .24” of rain and temps dropped to mid 40s

I guess it’s just a spot without any pavement and a lot of farmland. Just happens to have a weather station there. Mine is actually on top of a hill so I’m sure there are colder spots on the farm too. Last year with snow cover it was exceptionally cold compared to RDU

It’s just north of Louisburg airport and typically the coldest spot in the county. Usually drops 3-4 degrees on the car thermometer between getting off the pavement on 401 and when you pull in driveway. Louisburg airport was actually 19 this morning too. My weather station is less than 1/2 mile from their sensor
