FallsLake Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Backyard temp has dropped to 26.2 and everything is iced over. Those band continue to feed into the Triangle area. Rough night ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Just out by RAH: 000 FXUS62 KRAH 170633 AFDRAHArea Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 130 AM EST Sat Dec 17 2016 .SYNOPSIS... A weak wave of low pressure will track along the coast of the Carolinas, along a sharpening coastal front, tonight. An initially narrow ridge of arctic high pressure extending SWwd from the parent high now a few hundred miles off the New England coast will consequently be pinched off over the Carolinas later tonight andSat. In-situ damming, owing to light precipitation and widespread low overcast, will result. The associated wedge front will likely make little progress into central NC on Sat, then retreat more appreciably Wwd into the Piedmont, Sat night. && .NEAR TERM /TONIGHT/... As of 130 AM Saturday... ...Freezing Rain Advisory remains in effect for tonight for much of central NC, north and west of a line extending from Rockingham to Wilson. Patchy light freezing rain continues to affect portions of the Triangle, with patchy light rain to the SE. Temperatures have dropped a few degrees since the light freezing rain began in the Raleigh area, with 27-28 degrees common at 125 AM. Even with just 0.01 reported at the RDU ASOS and at the NWS Forecast Office at Raleigh, this is enough to produce icing.Wake County 911 reported numerous accidents, some with injuries all around Raleigh, with the most concentrated reports on bridges and overpasses. So far, there has not been enough light precipitation in the Greensboro and Winston-Salem areas to have any reports. Readings in the mid 20s are problematic if anything, even a trace falls. The Interstate 95 corridor from Fayetteville to Benson at Interstate 40 interchange was still all clear, but temperatures were hovering near 32. Northward, there is more concern from Benson to Wilson to Roanoke Rapids for the development of ice patches due to the increasing radar coverage, and temperatures at 30. Expect that the coverage will continue to remain rather patchy, but fill in from the northern Sandhills (Southern Pines and Sanford) north and east through the Triangle and Rocky Mount (I-40 and I-95 corridors) through 400 am. Numerous accidents have already been reported. It only takes a trace of ice to create a weather hazard. Temperatures will not rise through daybreak. If anything, they will fall a few degrees into the 20s. So, any travel should be done with extra caution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallsLake Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Backyard temp sitting at 27.5 and there's a thin layer of ice on everything, including the roads. If your in the Triangle area best to stay off the roads for a few more hours this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Tamland Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Roads around Raleigh sound really bad. Hundreds of wrecks and cars stuck. It doesn't take much to cause big problems on the roads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceagewhereartthou Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Complete nothing here in Easley. Only made it down to 31 for the low. Looked like the tiniest bit of slush on bowl on my deck this morning at 32. Nothing else. Noon temp and dp, 36/34, so wedge hanging on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
