weatherguysc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 As of 2:15 am i'm sitting at 32.8 on my Davis right now in Northern Gaffney, SC near the NC line...is it going to warm up on the onset or are we going to have a mess in the AM? ***EDIT*** 3:15 am and it's 32.2 starting to wonder what the next hour holds as the moisture is almost here.

The Alchemist Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Awake at 3:22... Pouring here in Saluda at 31.1. Ice storm warning issued... Looked out side and saw a little ice on the deck rail. Tended the wood-stove looked outside ten minutes later to 1/2 icicles on deck rail. Going to be a long night... This might be one of those events where the micro climate up here stays below freezing well into late tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherguysc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 AS OF 400 AM...THE COMPLEX OCCLUDED LOW AND WEDGE COMBO SYSTEM IS LIVING UP TO AND SURPASSING EXPECTATIONS A LITTLE THIS MORNING. THE COOLING ACROSS THE NC MTNS AND THE AMOUNT OF PRECIP EXPECTED THE NEXT SEVERAL HRS WILL COMBINE TO GIVE A GOOD AMOUNT OF -FZRA ACROSS THE CENTRAL MTNS AND HIGHER ELEV OF THE SRN FOOTHILLS...ALONG WITH THE ESCARPMENT AREA NEAR THE SC/NC BORDER. STILL EVALUATING THE NRN MTNS AND HIGH ELEV NRN FOOTHILLS FOR A POSSIBLE WARNING UPGRADE...BUT FOR NOW WILL COUNT OF THE PRECIP/ICE ACCUMS REMAINING THE HIGHEST ACROSS THE AREAS TO THE SOUTH WHERE THE BEST LIFT AND ISENT OMEGA EXIST. ALSO...WILL ADD A FREEZING RAIN ADVISORY FOR AREAS EAST OF THE MTNS ACROSS THE NRN/SRN FOOTHILLS AND THE NC PIEDMONT WEST OF THE I-77 CORRIDOR. THE MODELS ARE DOING AN ADEQUATE JOB WITH THE DYNAMICS OF THIS SYSTEM THROUGH THE NEAR TERM AND GIVE GOOD CONFIDENCE WITH THE WARMING TAKING OVER THE LLVLS BY 14Z OR SO AND CHANGING THE MAJORITY OF LOCALES TO ALL -RA. HOWEVER...THERE MAY BE SOME LINGERING POCKETS OF -FZRA ACROSS ISOL MTN VALLEYS THROUGH LATE MORNING. HAVE NOTICED THE WETBULB FREEZING ZONE EXPANDING IN COVERAGE THIS MORNING INTO THE UPSTATE AND THREATENING AREAS AROUND CLT AND THE I-77. THIS WILL BE MONITORED FOR A POSSIBLE FZRA ADVISORY INCLUSION. Latest from GSP, they make mention of possibly expanding the freezing rain advisory for the upstate towards charlotte **I'm at 32.1 right now and wet bulbing at 31.6** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkesboroDude Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Trees and bushes very icy. Moderate freezing rain now. Ground is mostly wet so far. 2 hour delay here...mountains closed...starting to see some 3 hour delays and options to close in the foothills.

Marion_NC_WX Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 McDowell County Schools going in 2 hours late...We have been holding at 32.4 for about the past 3 hours. Ice is starting to build up on trees, being that this is a borderline event, the ground itself will prob stay wet. That and the rainfall rates picking up will also help. I also think we wetbulb a bit lower due to the fact that it started to drizzle late yesterday evening before the main batch of heavier rain came in.
