flowerybranchweather Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Official, bust. 7000' warm layer is fricken awesome. Marginal temps, precio rates, plumes and all the other crap will never overcome that deep of a warm layer. Checkmate, out of chips, and dead broke. Yep, i'm looking forward to spring now..

Marginal temps, precio rates, plumes and all the other crap will never overcome that deep of a warm layer. Checkmate, out of chips, and dead broke. There's no excuse for the models to miss that. Seeing that ahead of time would have saved lots of trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparklecity Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm convinced I could move to Buffalo, NY and they would never see lake effect snow again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookingnorth Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I'm glad I'm not in Wake County right now, but I'm not sure being in southern Orange County will make much of a difference. Anyway, since there don't seem to be any snow threats in the near future, and spring is right around the corner, life should go back to normal after this.

wake4est Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 So help me understand something... The column was cool enough to support snow initially. Precipitation got heavier, and we turned over to sleet. If there is no warm nose pushing in right now, we should go back to snow fairly quickly, right? If the warm nose, however, is pushing in, rates now should be able to overcome it, if they're going to. The warm nose is only going to get stronger, right? No. Look at the radar. We are about to go back to snow. http://weather.cod.edu/satrad/nexrad/index.php?type=RAX-N0C-1-24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packbacker Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 This is going to bust big the southern half of Wake. We should be all snow and are a mix. Looks like north of RTP is all snow, Holly Springs to RDU airport is mix and south is mix/rain. Oh well, we will move to all rain soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't grasp about this whole scenario... is that the precip rates, on the ground, were never greater than light/moderate.... even under the heaviest bands (presumably reflections from sleet). ??? If I check precip amounts tomorrow - I'll bet its well under .25". That they key? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superjames1992 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 A couple things... Dry slot is the most overused word ever and almost never applies to the situation in which it is brought up. Also, it seems that it's always tough to go back over to snow once you've switched over. That's not to say it won't happen, but it's hard. It doesn't usually happen that way here. I did see Burger go back over to snow after raining for a bit, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I check precip amounts tomorrow - I'll bet its well under .25". That they key? IIRC, the NAM (and maybe other models) showed a general precip minimum in upstate SC and also showed warmer temperatures there. Looks like they might have been correct, though we still have time yet to go. I'm sure you'll get some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnowNiner Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Snowing pretty good in N Charlotte. Though there is melting limiting accumulation. That and the radar looks pretty blah in Georgia. I definitely think the lower end of totals are going to verify. We can forget heavy accumulations IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that weird feeling was me being delirious and hallucinating from getting only a few hours of sleep in 2 days. Looks like we won't be getting below freezing tonight.

If I check precip amounts tomorrow - I'll bet its well under .25". That they key? I don't know. I mean the sleet/rain mix is coming down pretty good. Seems like if dynamic cooling is going to take effect, it would help now before the big push from the warm nose later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
