jburns Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 you are probly not wrong, technically, BUT , most forecasting outlets don't know a thing about midnight high temps, and they don't tell that to the common person. When 99% of people look for weather info for highs , they don't say 55 degrees today? I bet that will happen at midnight? In two days it won't matter, even to us. It will just be thrown in with all the other highs to make the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 WOW... 04/04/2013 0845 PM 1 miles W of New Castle, Wilkes County. Snow m5.5 inch, reported by public. That looks highly suspect. Isn't that halfway between Wilkesboro and Winston-Salem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieBlizzard Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 WOW... 04/04/2013 0845 PM 1 miles W of New Castle, Wilkes County. Snow m5.5 inch, reported by public. Great discussion about the upcoming pattern. Keep up the good work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsandhills Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 We get any confirmation on the supposed 5.5 in in Wilkes County? That does sound suspect but it also sounds possible...kinda wish I was in NC yesterday like usual, but nope stuck down here in middle GA where it WAS an astounding 40 degree day! I *believe* the high yesterday in Warner Robins/Macon might have only gotten to around 48. Crazy for April. Windy and cold. Pretty awesome LOL. However I'd have much rather been in the Sandhills. Was there any snow reports out of KFAY? Doubtful, but possible I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DixieBlizzard Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 No confirmo...but 2.5" fell in Surry County. The 5.5 was not far from the Brushy Mountains...it was probably just light accumulation not a lot of reports from that part of Wilkes. All my snow melted by 9am. ...again, what does this have to do with the April pattern discussion? I wouldn't even mention it if you weren't the self-appointed board monitor all winter long.

superjames1992 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The cold front around day 7 looks like a beast. Lots of rain, perhaps some severe weather, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Yup and as of right now it looks like we might be headed to a drier pattern after this next cold front comes through Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isopycnic Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I'm getting concerned for a impending drought with the late tree leaf out and the "early" return of summer-type conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poimen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 The upcoming storm event this Thursday may bring us an inch of rain. I dunno...the timing of the frontal passage(early morning) is not good for heavy rains in central NC. NAM/GFS are currently in .25-.50 range for us.

Poimen Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 . I thought I saw a gulf low coming up this way in the Mon. timeframe ? I don't see one. There is a hint of some return moisture over the deep south Monday leading to widely scattered thundershowers but nothing organized, I don't think. It looks like the Bermuda high is going to flex its muscles next week and shift the main storm track well north of us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsaur Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I don't know...the crazy range has had a nice potential low coming thru, off and on, with the 0 line dipping into Ga. Get that storm into Fla, and that'll drag down the 0 line.....sleet for Tony? It could happen, lol. I know Crossroad's climo says Heck NO! But there is always room for some mid/late April sleet in my book If it's still there in 10 days, I'll have to sic the moles on it! Come on, Larry, you know there is always a possibility for unusual weather...since winter started in March, this is the equivalent of Feb. and climo says Feb equals Good And Feb 23 is in the sweet spot, so in bizzaro winter, April 23 should be easy squeezy. Meanwhile, back where the sane people live, Meteostar took away my upper 30's and replaced them with mid 40's...so I guess no shivering morning golfers after all. To bad....but now the crazy land storm...it could be real T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 GFS long range indicates a cool period from day 9 onward. This could potentially provide some areas, even outside the mountains, a last chance of frost. 12z GFS at day 9: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
