  1. .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 315 am Friday: GSP Damaging accumulations of ice therefore appear more likely along and south of a line from Anderson to Spartanburg to Gastonia, to Salisbury, including Charlotte and vicinity. Northwest of there, morning snow/sleet followed by a likely transition to freezing rain/drizzle of a few hours is expected to result in a somewhat narrow zone of a wintry slurry of 2 to 5 inches. Finally, little has changed regarding the forecast for the mountains and NC foothills, where 8-12 inches/locally higher amounts of mostly snow continue to look like the best bet. I hope I'm further NW of that line but it will be close so MBY. Im a little NNE of the dot in the middle of Rutherford County.
  2. The dry slot in energy transfers always need to be watched. Most likely a nowcasting event once we start radar watching.
  3. Good lord it does. Over 14" down in the foothills now.
  4. Boom 4.3" in three hours.. nice! http://www.wxcaster.com/models_text.htm
  5. the 00 NAM for KFQD (Rutherfordton) is 6+" of snow and 1.6" of ice then .5 " of snow.
  6. It is a concern as normal in these situations. But the NAM showed upwards of a solid inch area wide.
  7. I would love to run and hike up to that spot!
  8. Yeah states that do what the wife wants. Or stay where you are and walk the line like I’ll be doing :-) .
  9. GSP AFD .SHORT TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 300 am EST Thursday: The forecast will not change a great deal this morning, with all models on track for a major winter storm. The operational models are in relatively good agreement with the 500 mb low center track atop our area late weekend. The GFS remains a few hours faster than the ECM/CMC solutions, but they all lift the system across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia late Sunday and Sunday night. The ECM/CMC mean sea level pressure prognostics have a slightly farther south/southeast track of the associated surface low center, mainly across the coastal plain. This is favored given the strength of the low-level ridge north of the forecast area and it will likely contribute to slightly colder profiles and boundary layer temperatures than indicated on the operational GFS. Anticipate that the zero degree 850 mb isotherm may pivot near the NC/SC line to create a very sharp gradient in snowfall from the NC foothills down into the Upstate, but this remains highly subject to change. The current thinking is that most of NE GA, Upstate SC, and the Charlotte metro area will see some degree of warm nosing to undercut potential snow totals and generate more sleet, with more freezing rain especially likely at times along and southeast of I-85. 850 to 700 mb frontogenesis will likely sharpen up along and east of the mountains to enhance precipitation rates Sunday morning. The phasing process of this southern system back into the northern stream may accelerate the low passage. That could be a slight limiting factor, but it may not matter much given the otherwise excellent potential for significant wintry accumulations across the region as it stands. Conditions may well be treacherous across the region by daybreak Monday with snow and ice on the ground and temperatures in the 20s throughout.
  10. Last names CMC 00 Run. The table is still open and new dishes getting prepared every few hours
  11. No doubt! Ive went to sleep ready for glory to wake up with $hit on my boots
  12. I could name some others but that is a good start!
  13. Dan ‘s thoughts over at foothills action network! Wait and see approach. https://foothillsweather.net/2022/01/12/significant-southeast-winter-storm-expected-sunday-details-to-be-ironed-out/ .
  14. No joke. Been waiting for a long 12+ hour duration event. Maybe this is the one.
  15. looks all frozen down this way with a big thump of all snow before the take over.
