Quick 3pm post...

Everything is winding down with our winter event last night into today. The only real remaining concern is black ice tonight, and I do think there will be a good bit of it for the morning commute tomorrow. All in all, a fun little event....nothing major, but then again, I never expected it to be anything major.
My eyes are now focusing on our next winter weather threat Sunday and Sunday night. It is still too early for specifics, but I continue to have a feeling this could be a big one for the Carolinas, especially North Carolina. This sure looks to have the potential to be a significant event for the Carolinas, but I don't want to get too carried away just yet. Let's get another day of model runs in-house before we dive too deeply into this one...

Hey Matt, I have 2 questions. 1) How important is the positon of the high pressure area that you showed us a few days ago to our significance of winter weather on Sunday? 2) Are there any Meteorologists behind the scenes at News 14? As in not in front of a camera like you?
The location of the high over the northeast is very important. The stronger the cold air damming is down into the Carolinas, the longer we will see wintry weather. The high plays a roll in the strength (and the maintaining of) the cold air damming.
To you second question, no. We have 10 mets that currently work at News 14 (Charlotte, Triad, and Triangle markets combined), and all are on-camera mets.
