SnowDawg Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 1 minute ago, IceQueen706 said: If this has been answered already, sorry for asking again, but having conflicting radars. In Clayton, GA in Rabun County. Shows we will be getting thunderstorms in some future radars and others are showing freezing rain. Which is correct?? Both maybe. It will all depend on your exact temp. Part of county will likely be just above freezing by then part not. No guarantee on thunder but definitely a stronger line of convective showers than seen so far regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DTP Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 2 minutes ago, USCG RS said: 100%. And I won't comment further on this specific incident after this post... But when I saw the incident, i was immediately reminded American Airlines Flight 191 In Chicago (As you stated) . Turns out it was exactly that. So it's beyond Boeings fault, it's pure negligence, because this EXACT scenario caused the United States deadliest aircraft passenger accident in 1979. Basically opens the door to a spiral of deviation- never ends well.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Raleigh I’d say both: win without an ice storm but bust bc with precip and an over performing wedge this would’ve been an awesome sleet storm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Ridge Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Mesoscale Discussion 0059 Areas affected...northeast Georgia...western South Carolina...and parts of western North Carolina Concerning...Freezing rain Valid 251757Z - 252200Z SUMMARY...Heavy freezing rain is expected between 19Z and 23Z this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Persistent cold air damming persists in the lee of the Appalachians and into northern Georgia. An expansive area of stratiform rain will overspread this cold air this afternoon and result in moderate to heavy freezing rain. Heavy precipitation rates will likely warm temperatures a few degrees which may limit freezing rain efficiency in areas that are currently 31-32F. However, where temperatures are currently in the 20s, northeast of Atlanta and eastward, expect below freezing temperatures to persist within the wedge. Additionally, a meso-low, analyzed on the 17Z surface chart in east-central Alabama, will move east into central Georgia which will alleviate any chance for erosion of the cold wedge and perhaps reinforce the westerly flow across northern Georgia. As a result, moderate to heavy precipitation with temperatures in the mid to upper 20s will result in significant ice accumulation between 19Z and 23Z from northeast Georgia into western South Carolina and into portions of southeast North Carolina. Given the expectation for relatively efficient ice accretion and QPF of 0.5 to 0.7 inches, expect another 0.25" to 0.5" of ice accretion this afternoon and early evening. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

audioguy3107 Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Just saw the SPC's discussion...it's about to get real for Atlanta and points NE, we're sitting at 27 degrees with a DP of 26 and this on the way. We've got about a quarter inch glaze/crust on the roads already, steady drizzle the last hour. That's a lot of rain headed here. The mesolow comment is interesting too, causing some helicity south of here as well which is increasing tornado chances for south Georgia and SE Alabama. Looks like the CAD is gonna hold strong here during the duration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StantonParkHoya Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I guess us downstream should get an idea of what to expect in the next couple of hours as this emerges in the GSP area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
