Quick hit...Ice potential....

Well, I am hunkered down in the trenches. My wife and all three of my children have Type A Flu. At the moment, my wife and oldest daughter are having the worst go of it. Thankfully, I have not come down with it, and I am trying my best to take care of them and not get it at the same time. So far, so good.

As far as the weather goes, I am very interested in late Thursday into Friday morning. It sure looks like the western part of North Carolina will see some freezing rain. I am concerned especially about the Triad region. Taken at face value, the 18z NAM prints out over 0.9" of freezing precip in Greensboro. Now there will be a very warm layer aloft, and all of the would not accumulate as ice, but that is alarming.

I am planning to be back at work for a bit tomorrow, and I will delve into more specifics then. As it stands now, I do think we have some potential for some freezing rain issues by Thursday night in the western portions of North Carolina.

I can't give much more information because I simply have not had the time like I normally would to look at this event given the events at home.
