  1. If nothing else, perhaps this season has beaten through our collective thick skulls that 5 day+ op runs are meaningless. At least until December, when collective amnesia sets in and that weenie map crack becomes irresistible again
  2. Seems to me like we keep getting lows that cut to the great lakes, and kick back the arrival of cold and in turn, lead to another bad storm track.
  3. About a 20 degree gradient across Guilford county right now. Winds blowing from the South in Alamance and NNE in Rockingham.
  4. Yeah, hopefully something the models can resolve with a little more lead time. Just two major players on the board!
  5. Looking pretty good, cold+moisture = a chance, even with climo against us
  6. Perhaps a storm threat sooner rather than later?
  7. An all time record snowfall for Augusta in March? Why not...
  8. Models are back to being more aggressive with the non-convective wind gusts across the Piedmont, with gusts possibly to 50 mph+. Starting to look like this may be the bigger story than severe weather, for NC anyway.
  9. Gosh, I feel for y'all, looks like mode spread 3-5 days out, not 24-48 hours out!
  10. *Wedge Watch* The GFS has the Triad in the low 70s Friday afternoon, while the hires NAM keeps temps in the mid to upper 40s. I think I can count on a drizzly miserable Friday
  11. The Triad gets a 3-5" snow after March 10th about every 15 years (2018, 1993, 1981, 1974, 1972, 1940). The latest 6" storm on record was March 9th 1960
  12. I would imagine they're still nailing down the area that will be the highest threat. Right now the I-85 corridor, from Atlanta to Charlotte, is looking to be the highest threat and should be in the enhanced tomorrow. A wide region has 40-50kt sustained winds at 925mb, which wouldn't have trouble mixing to the surface. As for tornadoes, it seems hodographs are showing somewhat more unidirectional shear than optimal (more hockey stick shaped than curved), but I could be wrong.
  13. Starting to become somewhat concerned about the wind threat Friday afternoon/evening. All the globals have around 50 mph gusts across the Piedmont. Could very well be overdone, but a pretty wide wind field, regardless of track.
  14. Would be nice not to have to use the AC until April for once.
  15. Yesterday's high of 81 in GSO, ties the all time record for February and the low of 63 ties the all time max-min temp for February.
  16. Perhaps one last dance around March 2nd... nothing to lose, little to gain.
  17. Add it to the pile of cases where the column was just a few degrees too warm all the way up. Still it's far enough out that it could certainly change.
  18. It sounds crazy after the warmth late this week, but gotta still watch this coming Saturday for a little light freezing precip, with the high locked in and moisture running along the a warm front.
  19. Based on AccuWeather forecasts the piedmont will be near record warm for February: GSO: +7.8, 1.1 degrees below the record RAH: +8.6, .5 degrees below the record
  20. A good bit of discussion happening on the storm2k forum. Freddy is a beast!
  21. Look at that lift right at the dendrite growth zone, lol! Could be a fun little squall line, albeit sub-severe
