WidreMann Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I don't see how anything of measure will stick from this thing tonight in the Triangle. Greenville will still somehow pick up 4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Stream Rider Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 That map is the epitome of Chapel Hill screwjob. Limited precip and a finger of warmer air right over us, giving us the finger, in fact. HA! That is freakin' amazing man! Of course I'm in north west Chapel Hill so I might get a passing flurry. Probably a wet snowflake in the face and thats about it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a wet snowflake in the face and thats about it though. I don't think it's wise to take that completely literally. It's like 12 hours out, so of course it should be pretty accurate, but that's probably not going to happen EXACTLY the way it's progged on that NAM from this morning.

triadwx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Im more or less thinking of a swath of 1-2" across Central NC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats a good point, and thanks again. I'm going to take a break and give these things time to shake out. I'm not expecting much out of the clipper tonight anyway, but would not be too surprised to see maybe a dusting in the morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Virga here with a good slug of moisture primarily to my south. Of course the BL sucks anyway right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeatherNC Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Greenville will still somehow pick up 4". 41.2/27.3 here in the beautiful Costal Plain of ENC valid 5:18pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Hah i was doing the same thing. I'm starting to wonder if anyone is looking at the radar returns over eastern TN et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeatherNC Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 My map from earlier, I did not post it given the WFO AFD's, namely RAH and MHX, but have since reconsidered based on the upstream picture . Granted we have some BL layer issues to contend with, but I still see a 1-3" band, about 20-40 miles wide going through NC. Training 30+ dbz returns would drop areas to a isothermal 32 and SN quick. I could be a little bullish, but the radar over TN looks good and development in that area continues to grow on every pass. This is going to be a quick hitter, likely said and done from 9pm around 77, to 3 am along and east of 95. Also Widre, notice I did not include PGV (mby) in the hatch, given the local pressure min in NC moving from around Shelby at 997mb, to the OBX at around 995-994, axis of QPF would be north of that imo.

HKY_WX Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 down to 39. snow mixing in with light rain now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeastnc Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 temp coming down quick now that the sun is set and the cloud deck is still kinda high and thin.....39 and dropping be nice to get close to freezing before it really gets started so we can actually get 2-4" outta this thing.

wake4est Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The heavy band of precip is aiming to the south, right? That's what's needed to drop temps, right? I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buddy Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Up to 5" measured on my elevated board. Heaviest snow of the event coming down right now. Huge snowflakes, heavy quantity. I've picked up nearly 1" in the last 30 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snow haven Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 dont really know why i am in a WWA for tonight im not expecting anything but rain if that. I guess the WWA is for black ice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HKY_WX Posted January 7, 2011 Author Share Posted January 7, 2011 most of the bands look focused over NW SC/SW NC. someone downeast will probably get a nice band of 2-3 inches sometime late tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapelhillwx Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 40.5 here with some drizzle. Well, maybe light rain, as the deck is uniformly wet. I don't care enough to go out and check because -- it's not snow -- it's cold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MountainMarvel Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Up to 5" measured on my elevated board. Heaviest snow of the event coming down right now. Huge snowflakes, heavy quantity. I've picked up nearly 1" in the last 30 minutes. I was in Gatlinburg this morning and it was snowing. Drove back on I-40, and snow fell almost to Asheville. Here's a pic from yesterday . Very beautiful large fluffy flakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil882 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 The system is now taking on the appearence of very focused bands with high snowfall rates +1" per hour. Lookout if you are under one of these bands in the next 3-6 hours as the action moves off to the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold Rain Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Man this clipper is going to underperform like nobody's business. Unless I'm looking at the radar wrong, there's nothing but a little patch in central NC. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazaroo Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Honestly, it looks like the moisture plume is forming too far south in the southern part of NC. Likely this will help no one as the temps are too high down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanc2001 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 dont think clipper is underperforming, think its a little furthur south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
