superjames1992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 I don't even know what is falling right now. It's like a cross between ZR and microflakes. All I know is that we're still below freezing and it looms like a winter wonderland now. Not a lot of accumulation, but all non-paved surfaces are now white. Radar looks interesting. Time to head home.I'm in downtown GSO right now, so maybe it will be snowier west of here at the house. EDIT: Just got home... The latest HRRR paints 0.4-0.5" QPF over this area with precip falling until the wee hours of the morning. Looks like it wants 2-3" of that to be snow. We'll see, I guess. It shows the heaviest precip falling basically along the I-85 corridor from around Concord up to High Point, Greensboro, and up towards Roxboro.

jtgus Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Was on 1-40/85 from Alamance Community College to Burlington about an hour ago. Heavy sleet! Multiple wrecks! People doing 75mph and you could see the sleet piling up. Absolutely stupid people. They slowed down once they saw cars and 18 wheelers bouncing off the guardrails.

NC_WX10 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 How much for points east? a little less but about the same. Edit: The latest run had more for points east. but still about 2-4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gritsnc Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Really? Snow tonight? Why isn't the NWS picking up on that? They're only saying little additional accumulation. How accurate is the HRRR?

superjames1992 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 How much QPF does the HRRR paint over Winston-Salem and western areas of the Triad? Is there a link available? 0.3" for INT. It falls off west of the Forsyth County line, though. The NW part of the county is ~0.20" while the SE part is ~0.40". There's really nothing west of Mt. Airy and Hickory. I think you can find the HRRR free somewhere, but I was looking at WeatherBell. I'm sometimes a bit skeptical of where the actual precip will set up going by these short-range models, but they do seem to usually do a good job of indicating that there will be a potent band somewhere. The placement is always questionable, though. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLweather Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Don't be fooled by the snow amounts. Its not going to happen very likely they're overdone. That 17z(1pm) run of the HRRR is the newest run yes and data was put it and started. But the current time right now is 20:32(4:32). But I think the most important aspect of the hrrrr is it continues pumping in moisture to and past midnight. Past midnight Raleigh east. But between 10pm-12am tonight for the Triad. It will probably be what is already falling. Alot of sleet/ some flakes and zr but not the high amounts of 2-4" of snow. Alot of places are going to remain a good solid inch or under.
