packfan98 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anyone? Looking at the radar it looks like we might get some of this batch of precip, but we just missed out on the new WWA so I was wondering if it would go just north of here. Thoughts? By looking at the animation of the radar loop, it looks like the southern end of the precip may clip the Hillborough area. Looks to go just north of there. However, it appeared in later frames of the HRRR and RAP models that the Triangle area will be in line for more precip around sundown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Anyone? Looking at the radar it looks like we might get some of this batch of precip, but we just missed out on the new WWA so I was wondering if it would go just north of here. Thoughts? You should see some. Really its just beginning. That blob currently moving through NC should get the Durham and Raleigh areas as well. Though they will be zr or sleet. Not much for snow I don't think. Then this after noon it fill across NC as the moisture over GA moves in. If the HRRR is right most of the snow/sleet will be confined to 85 north and west today and eventually overspread the area with the snow line trying to make it Raleigh this evening. Time is patience I'm sure you will see sleet/snow/ice with this batch coming in and later this afternoon. Really there is about another 10-12 hour window of opportunity to see frozen precip today.

superjames1992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It's coming down pretty hard out there. The driveway is now slippery and the mulch/grass has a dusting of sleet. Just hit 28.

gritsnc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Numerous wrecks are beginning, a co-worker slid while stepping outside and roads are too bad to let the kids out. They would be better off KEEPING them. The schools also keep saying that temps wil rise this afternoon and I'm afraid they are mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gritsnc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Heavy sleet and a little snow. Schools need tomb let out immediately before it gets too bad. It's already too bad. My mom slid off the road and said a car pulled out of a neighborhood and their car turned completely sideways. The school system should give parents the options to come get their kids themselves, but they would be foolish to put buses on those roads.
