  1. Yeah, even Richmond kinda gets left out of their forum mostly. It's truly just DC/Nova. Southern VA has about as high a concentration of Confederate flags as anywhere, so I think the belong in the SE (even though we begrudge how much more snow he gets)
  2. Jan 2000 blizzard vs this morning's Euro, crazy phasing aside, it's not an unreasonable analog
  3. I fear the late phase could be the nail in the coffin on this one. Would be hard to stomach with the too early phase this weekend
  4. The wind shifted and the wedge broke down all at once. Pretty neat.
  5. Don't need caffeine if we can reel in more runs like the one above
  6. Check out the moisture transport that will be concentrated in that band, off the charts!
  7. Just missed the heavier returns. An appetizer for this evening I hope
  8. 12z vs 18z soundings, slightly shallower, but holding strong
  9. The HRRR just keeps trending colder. I don't think it's out of the question the final band is mixed with sleet. In fact that is what it is showing on P-type map
  10. Perhaps, although we seem to be entering the dry slot now. May backfill a bit, but I think by 12-1pm precip will be very light until the backside band swings through. Maybe we get some sleet in that band as well (let's hope so)
  11. Yesterday's NAM was about 10 degrees too warm to current temp
  12. The QPF thing is upsetting because we could have easily had 3-4" of sleet had we gotten the moisture. Instead the heavy stuff waits until we flip to ZR
  13. HRRR showing low 20s in the triad as that band of heavy ZR comes through this evening. Pretty extreme stuff
  14. How is that even possible? Must be some kind of freezing drizzle showing up at ground at ground level
  15. That is just typical of this storm. Just barely over the line right as the precip starts
  16. Wet bulb temp https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/wet-bulb
  17. Nothing yet in South Greensboro. Moisture finally building in though
  18. It's a testament to the wedge how the column. Is slowly moistening but the dewpoint dropping.
  19. Even if it's not showing precip, freezing drizzle can still accumulate on surfaces
  20. Soundings are almost identical but the HRRR depicts differently on the precip type maps
  21. Check out the warm nose this morning in Arkansas
  22. Models had been showing later for the heavy moisture to arrive. That dinnertime start time was likely based on light precip possibilities and also accounts for trying to get people off the road in case it starts early
  23. The latest HRRR brings onset much earlier.
  24. What makes me nervous is the Triad always is the coldest in wedge situations (even compared to 50 miles west), that last hand of heavy rain may come through with temps in the mid 20s. No bueno
