ECW Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We have a flizzard taking place in N. Winston right now. Interesting.......I've noticed the we have some moisture building to our southwest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Looks like we've got flakes mixing in with the freezing drizzle now. A bit surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Called my wife and she said the temp is reading at 31.1 at the house. So for the RDU folks, freezing temps are around/near. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLweather Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 We have a flizzard taking place in N. Winston right now. Interesting.......I've noticed the we have some moisture building to our southwest as well. Noticed that as well and its expanding on top of that. If it holds together some places in the triad and va border might be able to get a good solid dusting of less than a inch. Possibly more if the precip expands and remains mostly sleet/snow. For today through tonight along the 85 corridor triad and north should be about the same as now. Periods of light sleet/snow/freezing rain. Maybe more heavier precip expanding later today. Not sure why NWS is allowing the WWA to expire at noon but will most likely be extended to cover tonight as well. If the HRRR is right than precip coverage and rates will increase later this afternoon into tonight. If it is right some places along near the triad va border may see 1-3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCsandhills Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 So has this thread turned into the obs thread? I'm just trying to find out what y'all's interpretations of recent model runs are for tonight into tomorrow. TWC, NWS and Accuwx all have very different forecasts (one ZR, one rain, one cloudy)!

packfan98 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Sleeting hard in Winston per my wife. Just started here in Greensboro. The radar looks plentiful for a while and the temps are cold.
