wncsnow Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 GFS looks fine. More mixing than Euro but it's nowhere near the NAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strongwxnc Posted January 9, 2025 Author Share Posted January 9, 2025 Looks like GSP going with a warmer nose going more North which adds in IP. I feel like we knew this would be the case anyway. One thing is for sure, it looks to start Mid morning Friday for this area. With just over 24 hr out to start, GSP still is giving wiggle room.

calculus1 Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 Latest NAM has 0.6 QPF for Hickory. It also retains the significant warm nose that first showed up on the 00Z version last night. We could have 1-2 inches of sleet on the ground if the NAM is correct. That’s some concrete. Wow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 Doesn't seem like lack of moisture will be a huge issue. Sleet could be, especially south of 40. I think those nestled up to the Blue Ridge could stay snow but who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the GFS and Euro come in with mostly snowy solutions surely they consider the NAM an outlier? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 The NAM definitely seems like the worst case scenario right now but even then, I get an inch of snow and about 2 inches of sleet. Those are elite sledding conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 I'm going to stick with 2-3 inches for most of our area and perhaps a half inch to an inch of sleet on top for ideal sledding. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 Whatever falls is going to become concrete if we get some sleet. I’ll be shocked if we verify in the upper 30s Saturday but maybe under full sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calculus1 Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 Here's the probability of precipitation type for the 09Z SREF plumes at KHKY. Snow to sleet to freezing rain. All frozen, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wncsnow Posted January 9, 2025 Share Posted January 9, 2025 We could mix but I don't think many of us will get ZR. Strongwx is most likely to but I don't think it will be a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
