dsaur Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Strangely enough I just saw a few snowflakes and ice pellets on the way into work. Kind of strange with temps in the low 40's but the DP's are pretty low. A buddy and I were transplanting some trees today, and shortly after noon, I was amazed to have some sleet falling. I was sure I was having sleet deprivation delirium, and my usual visions, but seeing your post, makes me think I'm not crazy after all. Whew! I'm not crazy, what a relief, lol.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I just had a very heavy rain shower. And there is no rain in the forecast tonight ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Sleet was reported in three locations across the county last night. 29.8 this morning. Maybe I can see some flakes tonight as they may be the last ones I see for a week or longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennedy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Morning All, Are we looking at a chance of severe today? Been busy and not keeping up with my local wx. Have a great day everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaculaWeather Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 This is what we're expecting here in Georgia INSTABILITY IS FORECAST TO BE MARGINAL...BUT SHEAR ASSOCIATED WITH STRONG 850MB JET COULD SUPPORT ISOLATED STRONG THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING.

MountainMarvel Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 It was 29 at 8 a.m., and has moved up to 35 right now, but the sky has completely clouded over during the last hour, and it sure feels like it wants to snow.... I'm just saying. By the way, please let us know if you would like to join us for the March 31st "Southeast" weather gathering here near Lake Lure. Twenty adventurous souls have already said they would. And a good time will be had by all.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Just reading all the morning lows into the twenty's. We only had a low of 42. The wind was blowing 40 last night. You could hear it coming down the mountain. It was gusting so high it blew some lawn chairs off the deck and blew some small trees down. Crazy night.

NEGa Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 its another dreary, but sadly not white, day lol. 46 with light rain/drizzle and fog...not a bad winter day, but the lack of anything to track this year so far is starting to get to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 SPC seems to be missing the severe in Midsouth today. Tor. warnings in Tn and KY, both outside the highlighted zone. This line seems to be gearing up a little as it approaches Al and GA and eastern TN later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkesboroDude Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Blacksburg: There may be an hour or two where the cold pool of the front undercut the mild 850mb warm nose. Brief isolated pockets of sleet may proceed the change to snow near the crest of the Blue Ridge shortly after midnight. Once the really cold air arrives...the bulk of the precipitation will have shifted east of the cold front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 SPC put out a nice back-cast at 2000Z for the mid-South action, now that it is dying over the Cumberland Plateau. It is not the mountains that protect; it is the stable air along the I-75 corridor in Tenn. Southwest wind can warm Chatt quickly, but I doubt it this time with mdt rain coming ahead. The 15% is probably good for northwest Georgia but I'll sell it all day in Tenn. Continue AL/MS. Blue Ridge and NC High Country may get some flakes tonight before precip ends. Good wind direction but 850/700 not quite as cold for NC, which knocks down the upside surprise potential in contrast to last two. Virginia portion looks good again tonight. Enjoy!

calculus1 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Incredibly windy outside. I spent a few minutes hanging out in the parking lot with a co-worker before heading home and about froze to death. I was guessing it was in the low 40s at best. To my surprise, I find it 54.9 degrees outside when I get home. It sure feels much colder than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernNJ Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Not sure if Mississippi is considered "Southeastern" here but a rather intense storm with potential for a tornado is southwest of Hattiesburg at the moment. I saw the mesocyclone intensify at 344 CST, but a TOR was not issued until a clear-cut TVS was indicated at 355 CST. Even if a tornado does not occur, I wished they would have moved a tad quicker on this storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LithiaWx Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Once again Chattanooga gets lots of rain and it appears ATL will be split by the two batches of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Once again Chattanooga gets lots of rain and it appears ATL will be split by the two batches of rain. Nah, I think we will still get a decent hit. Look out west towards the AL/MS border. I'm still thinking we can manage a half inch or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half inch should be almost a certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
