With the wind chill, the 4F's were in full force (fire, friends, food, football) !!!!! Heck yeah joe! We had a high today of 36. Spent the day with family, got a Christmas tree, then some Christmas lights. Worked on that this evening . Know dinner and a movie with the wife.

NWNC2015 Posted November 22, 2016 Share Posted November 22, 2016 The dew point is 10 here currently. Single digits in spots across the western foothills and into Boone. The NC ski resorts must be loving this weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PisgahNCWeather Posted November 24, 2016 Share Posted November 24, 2016 I am afraid that Shetley is the new Nostradamus. It apparently is going to stay warm and dry forever. Until he starts honking for cold and wet we might as well forget about it. I was thinking earlier that maybe if the whole SE board offered him something we could put an end to this horrid weather. Maybe burnt offerings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I'm looking forward to the rain that's coming almost as much as some snow. We need some snow. I usually don't go into December skunked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Great looking map nchighcountrywx! we need all we can get! A beautiful day on tap before the rains come. Joe maybe some snow the first of next week but only a slight chance. The first of December does not look conducive for snow in our area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 Per NWS GSP AFD, rain chances diminishing... 724 FXUS62 KGSP 280916 AFDGSP AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREENVILLE-SPARTANBURG SC 416 AM EST MON NOV 28 2016 TONIGHT IS WHEN THINGS GET A BIT MORE CHALLENGING. FOR DAYS THE EXPECTATION HAS BEEN THAT REMARKABLY STRONG MOISTURE FLUX WOULD OCCUR IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE FRONT, WITHIN A 50-60 KT LLJ AND A GULF CONNECTION, DEPICTED AS BEING UNIMPEDED BY CONVECTION ALONG THE COAST. NOW THAT THE EVENT IS IN THE RANGE OF THE HI-RES GUIDANCE THEY MAKE US QUESTION WHETHER THE ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL PLAY AS MUCH OF A ROLE AS ONCE THOUGHT, IN GENERATING SIGNIFICANT QPF. THE WRFS ARE PRODUCING MAINLY JUST UPSLOPE-DRIVEN PRECIP UNTIL IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO THE FRONT, AND EVEN ONCE THE UPPER DIVERGENCE ASSOCIATED WITH THAT JET STREAK ARRIVES TONIGHT, THEY PRIMARILY PRODUCE PRECIP IN UPSLOPE AREAS. ONCE AGAIN THE WISEST CHOICE SEEMED TO BE TO CONCENTRATE POPS MORE ALONG THE RIDGES AND TO TONE DOWN QPF A BIT. THE BIGGEST CHANGES ARE OVER THE PIEDMONT, OF COURSE, GIVEN THE RELATIVE LACK OF TERRAIN. POPS HAVE GENERALLY BEEN CAPPED IN THE HIGH-CHANCE TO LIKELY RANGE BELOW THE FOOTHILLS. THE STRONG MIDLEVEL WINDS DO POSE SOME CONCERNS OF THEIR OWN. THOUGH WE'LL BE IN A WARM ADVECTIVE PATTERN, WHICH WILL IMPEDE MIXING DOWN INTO THE VALLEYS AND MORE POPULATED AREAS, IT IS LIKELY THAT RIDGES WILL BE EXPOSED TO SUSTAINED WINDS OF 30-40 MPH AND PERHAPS AN OCCASIONAL GUST ABOVE 40. THE PEAK WILL BE IN THE EVENING AND VERY EARLY MORNING HOURS AS THE LLJ CROSSES THE MOUNTAINS, BUT WINDS START TO RAMP UP THIS AFTERNOON. HENCE WE WILL HOIST A WIND ADVISORY FOR AREAS ABOVE 3500 FEET, VALID THRU 12Z TUE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
