Upstate Tiger

This is some of the stoutest CAD I’ve ever observed. The source cold is insane.

Must have had a little bit of drizzle that coated my truck in the last hour. 24/14 here in West Lincoln.

I remember that happening in the upstate in the late 70s

GSP has issued an Ice Storm Warning for my area in Lincoln County (NC Piedmont).

06z GFS and Euro seemed honed in on the evolution of the storm with GFS still faster. Both show front end snow for NC and then the fun begins. Didn’t check thermals. Got to get to the hospital for storm prep. NAM…IDK what it’s doing.

Lots of below zero readings forecast for western NC.

Absolutely insane cold temps across the Midwest and Northeast this weekend as this storm is occurring. Lots of below zero readings. Been a long time since I’ve seen this kind of cold and it looks locked in for a few weeks.

Wouldn't that cool and moisten the column and potentially give us a better front end thump of snow? I know I'm grasping...

30 straight hours of precip for NC.

Quickly goes over to ice but closer to GFS

Euro with a little front end snow at 60 for NC

Euro and GFS surface reflections look very similar at 54 with timing and precip types.

I knew this thing would correct back to the SE…oh crap. That’s next weekend.

After this cluster I am not looking at any models for next weekend until next Thursday...BTW, Do you happen to have a snowfall map of next weekend?

Given the alternatives, I would prefer what the GFS is showing for NC. More sleet, less freezing rain.
