Can someone help me with the implications of this and how it applies to the upcoming weekend, if any?

Just doing general research into TPV's for self-education and came across this discussion link for current TPV events. On the sudden stratospheric warming and polar vortex of early 2021

32.8/32.0 w light snow. Had .25" of rain that fell between 6 and 6:30 that dropped temp a degree to 32.7. Overall more snow than last weekend.

... and before COVID-19!

It's thinking about it here north of Kville. Very very light snow mixed in with "thick rain drops" like it was doing last Saturday about this time when I had enough and went to bed.

Updated Greenville, SC photo from my daughter.

Daughter just sent this from Greenville, SC. She texted she wasn't going to get anything then sent this about fifteen minutes later.

Or is it fantasy? (Queen)

My wife promises it will. She says sometime in the early hours of Sunday morning go outside and look up. I've heard that advice from her for years, but the way the models have been behaving lately I have to agree with her .

Did you cheat us by cutting out the advert for how to lower our blood pressure quickly, or was the map a means to accomplish the same thing?

Found this link dated 27 Oct 2020. It references the loss of airline data being as much as 90%. “One of the many unfortunate aspects of the COVID-19 crisis has been the severe loss – of up to 90% - of aircraft-derived meteorological data as a result of the steep decline in airline operations and passenger flights since March 2020,” said WMO Secretary-General Professor Petteri Taalas.

But of course! Was there any doubt?

I remember that March 80. Wrangler just moved me down from Pennsylvania. Got two snowstorms. No longer remember which order but seems one was 8" and the other 14" in the Sandhills of NC. Got more snow in NC that year than I would have had i stayed in Pa. Still had my snow legs driving and went in to check plant out full of myself. Drove into the parking lot wide open in my Datsun B210 hatchback. Bad move! Car flew up snow bank lifting wheels off of the ground. Had to shovel out under the car to get the wheels back down so I could drive out. Loved that snow! That was also when I learned what I was told about Carolina drivers was correct (at that time anyway). First sign of snow they'll park their cars wherever they were at the moment rather than drive!

That'd be sweet if I was still living in my old home of Scranton, Pa. :-/

Dew point is starting to crash. Temp 37.6 with dp 36. PWS graph

It's trying to change over here just north of Kernersville. Very very wet snow looking like slow thick rain drop streaks with a bunch of fine snow crystals mixed in.

Current PWS temperatures in the triad area

I'm 4 miles north of downtown Kville. We might have had flurries at best while downtown got a good ground covering per my mother in law.

I'm in northeast part of Forsyth county, so count me in the north of I40 crew. It seems like the RAH NWS crew is throwing in the towel also, as they've removed any mention of frozen precipitation in the official forecast for Wed thru Fri (70% rain Wed night) though they still are mentioning potential for wintry precipitation for Wed night and Thurs in the hazardous weather outlook. From their disco.: "Still expect high pressure to build into central NC through Wednesday, though to a lesser extent and with slightly less cold air advecting into the area than previous model runs........Also, despite the chance for precipitation, the potential for wintry precipitation has diminished significantly for Wednesday night/Thursday given the warming trend in temperatures."

I used to follow Larry Cosgrove back in the day when I was more active with weather. He just posted in tropical discussions: Just so you know, however, that the analog system projects a very warm April and May, and a searing hot summer with multiple East Coast hurricane threats. So enjoy the chill and the chance for whote powder, because "Redux 2020 Hurricane Season" is high on the probability charts. Maybe it will be a season with 1996 like tracks. Sleep well tonight.

Just starting a light snow north of Kernersville. Not much movement in temp or dew point in last several hours so assume that atm is still fairly dry above us. From PWS

There's people in the area that would like you to think of it as Greensbrew.

My daughter took this picture of these clouds this afternoon in Greenville, SC and was curious what she was observing. She called them "jellyfish clouds". I'm assuming that they might have been dropping virga snow. Correct? Advise your thoughts. Thanks!

The cold front originates from the north, hence the "norther", and can send temperatures plummeting by 20 or 30 degrees in merely minutes."
