In super strong CAD setups like this, heavy precip is usually what ultimately erodes the cad dome from top-down sensible heat transfer between the warm nose aloft and the colder near-surface layer. Dry slotting us doesn’t really help much

@CameronJNixon you’ll love this sounding. ZR with a side of hail.
Wait wtf is this?! Why am I getting legit elevated supercells in North Carolina on Sunday with freezing rain?! If we get any decent wind gusts from these w/ ice on power lines and trees, a lot of folks in NC could be in big trouble. 😳 #ncwx

The trend is your friend if you want to keep your lights on in Charlotte. 🤞🏻 NO MATTER WHAT travel will be treacherous to near impossible Saturday night-Early Tuesday at least.
Model consensus freezing rain forecast has steadily gone down since yesterday in most of NC Likely has to do w/ CAMs being weighted more in the NBM now, & the CAMs can better sniff out the low-level cold nose/potential for more sleet than freezing rain Hope this continues

So much discussion on this Winter Storm and possible ice accumulation. When totals start to near 1/2 inch bigger impacts start to occur. Power outages are one concern. Ice adds to the weight of the power lines. To the point they can't hold it. Thus toppling over or breaking. Wind

"The wedge" is going to be a major player in the looming ice threat in the southeast this weekend. @mikebettes lets you know what it is and how it will impact the weekend weather across the southeast. @weatherchannel

@PeeDee_WxSC Having watched a ton of these events the last 10-15 years, imho the CMC has typically been the best global model with CAD once we get ~ 3-4 days out, tho it can struggle with synoptics sometimes. Usually some combo of CMC and NAM inside 48 hours is usually the way to go imho

A lot of people have asked for a comprehensive preparedness list for the winter storm. Feel free to bookmark this or share with friends, stay safe out there: ⛽️ Gas up every car (and top off any cans if you’ve got them) 💵 Pull cash — assume card readers go down 🔋 Charge
