John1122 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 First of many in the SE! Any idea what your dewpoint is over there? On this side of the Apps that band moved over my area with 25-30dbz returns and not a flake made it to the surface that I saw. Temp here is 11/dp -2.

NEGa Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 30 with dew point of what? sensor broken showing -3 ? anyway it is "virgaing" now lol (if that dewpoint is accurate no wonder jeesh. where are the higher dewpoints on that extremely rare occasion when you want them?) edited to add: Any idea what your dewpoint is over there? On this side of the Apps that band moved over my area with 25-30dbz returns and not a flake made it to the surface that I saw. Temp here is 11/dp -2. ok maybe its not broken. see above - decent echos but not a flake. it is extremely dry air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kvegas-wx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 RAH just updated their thinking to reflect the reality of very low DP's. Dropped precip forecast 25% to account for moistening the column. That should pretty much put a nail in the coffin across the triad and limit us to a dusting.

burgertime Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 27 with a DP of 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KChuck Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 21.0/-0.1 virga just passed per radar 4 miles n of Kville. Only flake was me too lazy to get out of bed to check if any reaching ground. Low dp's an issue per RAH disco. they're using low dp's to lower amounts 25% due to .15" required to moisten column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll tell her not to go. But are you confident that it will reach the ground soon there? The returns look good and heavier to the WSW.

Snowless in Carrollton Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 FFC is saying nothing is going to reach the ground until after noon, FWIW. 5-6 hours of virga ? Geez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yea I'm wondering how late ng its good nna take to reach here as well...it can't be that much more saturated in Asheville can it? Its still hanging AAT 31 with virga overhead. I think it has something to do with the southwest flow and the lift we get from the southern mountains.

FLweather Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Temp down to 23. Still slowly dropping. That band stretching over the mountains means business looks very unsettled over S Va. Give it another hour and snow should start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The returns look good and heavier to the WSW. well never confident on snow in ga lol. i have to admit though that this one is looking pretty good. my main thought is the cold air blasted in here and its been below freezing all night (rare before a snowstorm) so as soon as it does reach the ground it will start accumulating pretty much on contact FFC is saying nothing is going to reach the ground until after noon, FWIW. thats the only frustrating part. its snowing but not reaching the ground ugh. if and when it does reach the ground i assume that schools that are open will start closing. personally this is not the worst day to have a parental (or uncle) executive decision. i just wish the dewpoint was up some ha ps. dewpoint up to 11 from -3 just since i got up and started posted about an hour or so ago edited to add: just checked temp and it is responding to virga and dewpoint and is slowly dropping. in the 20s now (29.1) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 28, 2014 Author Share Posted January 28, 2014 Thanks. I think I'll tell her not to go. But are you confident that it will reach the ground soon there? The returns look good and heavier to the WSW. Buncombe County schools had buses on the roads & had to turn them around to drop kids off. Car riders @ schools are having to be picked up. Not a problem with my kids though. I made the call that they wouldn't be going. Safe to err on the side of caution.....tell her not to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG FROSTY Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 20.2 dp 6 Flurries reported in the county! Virga storm going full blast here....Kids leaving for school. But I'm sure once the right person sees a flake they will be coming home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaWx Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 FFC is saying nothing is going to reach the ground until after noon, FWIW. Oh no, I hope not! Please tell me they're wrong lol. Is it because the winds are from the dry NNW direction? I know that is an unusual direction for ATL to get a sig. snowfall, but the moisture looks pretty impressive.

You are correct sir...radar returns here in the mtns are reaching the ground...quite heavy at times in Spruce Pine, NC...slick roads and schools closed...170F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 22 right now. Heading to school to take a test but I'm getting out early at 9:30. Looking forward to tracking with y'all today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sorry just saw this. When it started snowing my temp was 18° with a DP of 2.7° Sounds like the dew point doesn't have to raise all that much to get snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm certainly hoping they are wrong too, and the lowest angle on the radar seems to be filling in closer to FFC with every scan. It's not like she was going to learn anything today anyway, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkman Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 DP starting to creep up here in the Triad. 6am it was 22/-6, last hour it was 21/-4. Hopefully we can make some more gains before the precip gets here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
