The Weather Thread

[Duke Mu]

Raleigh office of the National Weather Service cut back the freezing rain totals for the Triangle. Seems they are thinking the heavier precip will be to the north and that we'll see snow and sleet to start. I watched Greg Fishel's latest video on Facebook and it seemed he thinks the freezing rain will be worse south of the Triangle.

Fishel has to be as old as Gandalf now. He's always been really solid - since TWC was about the actual weather.

5ºF on my outdoor thermometer right now. It was 7º when I woke up, 30 minutes ago....

I guess I'm as ready as I'm gonna be for the ice here in NW WS.

Here's hoping I wake up to having power Sunday AND Monday morning. I'm not betting on the second, but one can hope.

I am trying to convince my wife and son to escape to Wilmington today from Winston-Salem. Why even deal with this shit?

NWS Raleigh has the last 3/4 to an inch of precip as mostly plain ole 33 degree rain Sunday night
That suits me

I would bank on Ethan's forecast from North Carolina Weather authority. He consistently outperforms the professional meteorologists storm after storm and year after year. He is an absolute savant at understanding patterns.

I hear you
Sorry , but what does he say?

That shows how fucked up this situation is when you’re hoping for cold rain.

ABC 11 shows much lower ice potential than yesterday. Still a lot but not inch stuff

It's so much colder than it was 3 hours ago

They always over do the precipitation. This is trending to be a nothing burger.

 

[nrsair]

Yeah seems like the start off the precip keeps getting pushed later and later. I’ve seen this before.

 

[CFordUNC]

I will not sleep face down for a week if we don’t get any ice or lose power out of this.

Yep.

That Wulfie knows what he's doing 10 times more than the professionals. Give him all the respect he deserves. He saved lives during Helene. He might be saving lives again.

Ethan sticking with the bad forecast. Hope he’s wrong.

I don’t know. That model hung on to ridiculous forecasts until mid day today. Apple really needs to make a change. It is embarrassing.

The Apple weather app is currently, at this minute, predicting a foot of snow for Greensboro. We will lucky to get an inch and a half of snow. it's bizarre.

 

[rodoheel]

if you are in the Triangle pray for sleet and a dry slot. But it’s not looking good. Looks like lots of ice. Ice ice iceiceiceice…..

Never thought I would see someone wishing for a dry slot

 

[CarolinaFever]

Models have been showing less precip with the heavier precip going to our north and that means less freezing rain. Hope that's what we see happen. We might go from over a foot of snow to a crippling ice storm to not much from what the models were showing 5 days ago. They really do suck when it comes to winter weather here in NC outside 1 or 2 days.

What does to "our north" mean - Virginia or places like the Triad here in NC?
