3km trended a little better for foothills than 18z.
-
Nam 3km Trended further south with frozen precip and 850s trended much further south too.
-
Pretty big shift south with precip.
-
Small shift south with 540 line at hr 42. Surface temps running several degrees warmer along 40.
-
Gave me goosebumps looking at this picture. I remember the mattresses in our house froze. That was a scary storm, I didn't sleep for 2 nights because of all the pine trees popping around the house. My dad worked for the DOT and he didn't come home for days.
-
Somebody needs to put the brakes on this low pressure, I mean NW trend but dang couple hundred miles if that keeps up.
-
They look good to me
-
Running a little colder too.
-
I just thought the same thing! Feb 2, 1996 was the worst ice storm I remember in Catawba County. Trees popped all night long was without power for 8-9 days and temps got down near zero a day or 2 after the storm and had several inches of snow on the very end. That was the storm that had me hooked on winter weather.
-
If we get that much ice and these temps come in afterwards it would be devastating.
-
GFS para showing significant icing as well.
-
The cold is for real, but it bleeds in slow coming from that trajectory. It looks like the boundary stalls out to our south and several weak waves of low pressure ride up over it. Are there several impulses that get ejected this way or does this evolve into one major storm? To me this could just as easily be a setup for long duration icing event with overrunning precip and maybe it does trend from ice to snow as deeper colder infiltrates our area.

Euro coming in with a monster storm on Friday...So much cold air to the west and just slowly filters in over the Apps.
-
Wow 1051 hp building in too. Get that to scoot on further south and no way that thing will cut on us.
-
Does the Euro have a map for sleet out-put or is that counted in with snowfall?
-
Looks good to me, typical North of 85 storm and marginal temps. Hopefully we can get some decent rates, been skipped over in the Northwest Piedmont this year, at this point I'll be happy with anything frozen.
-
Looks like Upper low keeps digging stronger and further south each run too, I think it will keep correcting like this for a couple more runs.
-
For Sunday's storm the Canadian is moving toward the other models. One more trend like this would definitely put some snow in WNC.
-
Looks like to me low is crawling across the gulf and potential major winter storm with high locked in over top.
-
I wouldn't get too worried this far out, I mean we are only 2 days a way from the weekend storm and models are still trying to figure it out. I really would be too concerned past day 3-4 at this point.
-
One thing to maybe watch for is if we can get some wedging or at least some colder air bleeding in from NE. The GFS para showing a weak high over eastern PA as the moisture is coming in. This is the first time I've noticed that feature there.
-
ICON also coming in with a similar track and getting the NW Piedmont in some snow.
-
GFS para 850s trend over the last 3 runs
-
RGEM not amped like the NAM, but it's trending NW and stronger each run, maybe we can find a happy medium on the models.
-
This setup kinda of reminds me of this storm back in 08. https://projects.ncsu.edu/atmos_collaboration/nwsfo/storage/cases/20080117/
