Winter weather this morning...
>> Thursday, December 16, 2010
A wintry mix is occurring around the region this morning. I am live on the air for the Triad market....Matt Morano is handlign Charlotte, and Lee Ringer is in the Triangle. Our operation is in full swing this morning bringing you tons of live weather, traffic, closing information, and reports in the field.
The teeth of the system will move through between now and late morning, and this is when precip will be at its heaviest.
For the Charlotte area, a mix of sleet and freezing rain/ drizzle with be with us until around mid-morning. Most temps should then get above freezing, and the afternoon and evening will then feature the chance of some drizzle from time to time. A glazing of sleet and freezing rain will remain a possibility. Road conditions will be tricky, especially on the secondary roads and overpasses.
For the Triad, snow and sleet will continue to change to mainly freezing rain this morning. A glazing will continue to occur on most surfaces. This afternoon, temps will get above freezing and road conditions will readily improve.

Matthew, how does the weekend system look?
Not overly good at the moment. We will see if a northwest trend develops. I will be able to focus on it much more when I finish with the current system.
Matthew,
Thanks for all the great forecasting! Have you looked as far out as christmas day yet? I read that the GFS was showing some moisture around christmas eve and wondered if you think it has a chance at being frozen?
Hey guys,
We can't even get the models to agree on winter weather 5 days out, there's no way Matt's going to comment on a week and a half out. Models are trash unless it's EURO within 4 days. When the EURO says snowstorm 4 days from the event, THEN it's real. That's my new rule!!:)

Looks chilly next week.....downright cold on some modeling. I spent very little time on that part of the forecast today due to today's storm....will look at that more deeply tomorrow.
