wake4est Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 It's crazy how reluctant the local TV mets have been to put maps with numbers on them to this point, even the day before the storm. You've gotta think they have to commit by the evening news time and go with something... I'M IN HOLLY SPRINGS, NC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Stream Rider Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 My sense is things are trending better for the Triangle, especially the western parts of course, but even RDU proper. WPC supports this thinking with this statement: .IT IS DIFFICULT TO MOVE OUR PREFERENCEENTIRELY TOWARD THE ECMWF...DESPITE ITS RELATIVE CONSISTENCY...ASTHERE IS NO PHYSICAL REASON TO EXPECT THAT THE SURFACE CYCLONEWILL DEFINITELY SPIN UP AS EARLY AND AS SYMMETRICALLY AS IT DOESIN THE ECMWF SOLUTION. MANY OTHER SOLUTIONS SUCH AS THENAM/SREF/GFS/UKMET HAVE INDICATED A MORE ELONGATED LOW EARLY INTHE PROCESS...STRETCHED OUT ALONG THE PRE-EXISTING FRONTAL ZONE INTHE SOUTHERN STATES.ONE WAY TO RESOLVE THESE DIFFERENCES IS TO TAKE THE CHARACTER ANDINTENSITY OF THE ECMWF SOLUTION AND SHIFT IT JUST SLIGHTLY SOUTHAND EAST TOWARD MORE OF A CONSENSUS TRACK. Also, I think the CAD wedge is not modeled particularly well and local experienced mets know this. The basic setup is classic for snow in central NC so I don't think we will be left out of this. Sure there will be some mixing, but I suspect a right fair amount of snow and sleet accumulation, something on the order of 3-6 inches basically east to west across the area.

JoshM Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Nice to see that heavier precip getting sucked up into the southern NC piedmont, most of my snow (im in bessemer city) has melted, but it's picking back up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilpony Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 How or who do or can anyone make contact with someone on getting dhec closed so the workers can get home safely. ice pellets are on the roads in the area and not looking to good. what is wrong with haley??!!!!!

You've gotta think they have to commit by the evening news time and go with something... I think it's a process with on the air mets. My apologies to all of them for the following as I have no real idea what goes on. 5 days out....Look at the fantasy storm 4 days out....Unbelievable it's still there. Like it could really happen. 3 days out....OK I have to say something but nothing like what the model says has ever happened here before. Better lean strongly toward climatology. 2 days out....Damn! Now what? How can I even say that on the air. It will cause a panic and if it fizzles out like usual I'll be a laughing stock. 1 day out....Damn, damn, damn, damn, damn.

WxBlue Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Even though I'm very excited about Asheville getting snow, I can't help but feel sorry for central SC... 2 inches of freezing rain is nothing to joke about and WxSouth is hinting this storm might overperform the models based on water vapor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NC_WX10 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I'm really worried about some people in the triad right now. Because almost no one believes that this storm is going to perform like it looks like it could. They think this is a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaryWx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 The whole crippling ice storm in NC seems to be hedging back and forth based on which model you believe. Latest Euro says not as bad with smaller transition zone. Others not so much. They'll be ice alright. Right now not sure how much, how bad, and how widespread is really the big question.

Jet Stream Rider Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 What are the chances its a crippling ice storm along the I-95 NC corridor It appears that chances are pretty high for some areas to get hit in that vicinity unfortunately. Maybe the best hope is that the warm nose keeps the coastal plain above freezing so that the freezing rain band is minimized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I seriously doubt the euro is right with the slp over/near Hatteras. There is clear obvious damming and a stout lee side trough. Looking at the wind streamlines NE CAD winds have made it into western GA with northerly winds over east TN,AL and western GA. Also there is a developing LP trough east of Brownsville, TX with an enlongated trough offshore of Wilmington. By all said and done.. I say the SLP stays offshore of Hatteras completely but thats my 2c. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaryWx Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Remember these LPs do not have to track in a rounded route. In other words it could curve in briefly over NC and then bow back out a little over the Va capes depending on the interactivity with the northern flow.
