Sunday morning...
>> Sunday, March 01, 2009
All right, slug of precip moving up from SC this morning. This morning, looks like rain maybe mixed with sleet for much of the CLT area. Up in the Triad, some freezing rain, sleet, and rain for a while this morning. Some icing is possible on elevated surfaces.
Big question is when do we kick over to snow? The sounding data for CLT is right on the line between a rain and heavy snow sounding this afternoon. When that changeover will impact total snow amounts.
I will not make any huge changes to my forecast. I still favor the corridor of portions of the Charlotte metro up into the Traid as the zone that sees the heaviest totals. But again, anyone in the Piedmont is fair game to get a decent snow out of this.
Looks like a general 3 to 8 inch snow, but in the band where the heaviest snow occurs overnight, 6-10" and even more is possible some spots.
Some thundersnow is also possible if everything sets up right, and if that develops, some really intense snow rates could occur.
As is always the case in winter weather events around here, it is tough to have a ton of confidence ahead of time. But that is how it looks right now.
By the way, incredible snow back around Memphis....10-20"!
Will head off to church this morning, then see how we are looking after that.....

Freezing rain and sleet in Scoitts, nc. 31* here I hope we get at least six inches b/c I have waited five years on this storm.
They are really caooking for it to dump here in the Piedmont. Also, very concerned over possible power outages with the light ice followed with 20-30 mph winds and heavy wet snow... ouch!
I'm not a religious man, but how bout thanking the good lord for our chances while your there?
What are you thinking about snow drifts here.
Matt, check out the 15 RUC reflectivity images on RaleighWx's website. It absolutely destroys the area.

The weather channel radar shows snow over Shelby but all I am seeing is rain/sleet mix.
