What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this wind chill advisory went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Raleigh, NC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this wind chill advisory went out at Jan 4, 3:45 AM EST, 20 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Jan 4, 3:45 AM EST, 20 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 345 AM EST Thu Jan 4 2018 .SYNOPSIS... An exiting storm system will track northeast towards New England today. Frigid air will surge into the region Thursday through Saturday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... As of 230 AM Thursday... Winter storm is pushing through areas north and east of the Triangle at this time. The very well depicted snow/no snow line will march eastward over the next several hours before exiting to the northeast. Areas in the northeastern counties will have the potential to see some of the highest snow totals of the day with storm totals of 4-6 inches possible. Look for snow to end in the northeast around 12z. In the wake of the storm, winds will kick up considerably today gusting to 20-25 kts at times. With as lightly packed as the snow is, this will cause some blowing snow at times. As winds continue into the the evening and overnight hours tonight into Friday morning, wind chills will become a factor, dropping to around 0 degrees across the northern tier of counties with single digits elsewhere. Temperatures will hover around plus or minus freezing with upper 20s to low 30s across the north and mid 30s in the south. Lows Friday morning in the upper single digits to low teens. As temperatures will remain near or below freezing for the next couple of days, black ice will be possible and will be covered with a Winter Weather Advisory. && .SHORT TERM /Friday through Saturday night/... As of 310 AM Thursday... The mid level polar low will wobble NE over the St. Lawrence Valley and Canadian Maritimes during this period, while the surface thermal trough extends down through NC. The relentless feed of cold air will persist through Sat night as Arctic high pressure builds into and over the area from the NNW, settling over E VA and E NC by daybreak Sun. Expect generally clear skies. Thicknesses are projected to be around 70 m below normal, supportive of highs in the upper 20s to lower 30s and lows of 6-16. -GIH && .LONG TERM /Sunday through Wednesday/... As of 345 AM Thursday... We'll finally start to warm up a bit (relatively speaking) as mid level heights rebound in the wake of the departing polar trough. The surface high over our region early Sun will shift east and offshore by Sun night, bringing about rising thicknesses, although a cool stable ridge will continue to extend back into NC. The 850 mb ridge centered over FL early Sun will move ENE and offshore Sun, resulting in the onset of southwesterly overrunning flow and increasing clouds from W to E across central NC Sun/Sun night. The Pacific-source wave moving ESE through the central and southern Plains Sun looks likely to merge with the polar stream to culminate in a full-latitude trough and accompanying surface front that approaches from the west late Sun night and Mon morning. Confidence in precip ahead of and along this front has increased, and expect high chance to likely pops Mon afternoon through evening. NC should stay in the cool sector with models showing the triple point low holding to our S and SE as the front passes by. Model thermal profiles, showing increasing warm air advection up and over the residual cold stable pool at the surface, suggest that the precip will start as a light wintry mix of primarily light sleet mixed with a little snow and/or freezing rain Mon morning, before precip rates pick up and the warming aloft increases in depth and overtakes the cooler surface air, resulting in a trend to just a chilly rain by lunchtime as pops rise. Rain is likely to be moving out of eastern sections by Tue morning, followed by clearing skies and rebounding mid level heights as ridging moves in from the west. We may see a few clouds Wed if the GFS and its mid level wave dropping through the Deep South come to pass, but overall there is insufficient moisture return at any time for anything but mostly sunny/clear skies midday Tue through Wed. Highs will be in the 30s Sun, rising to the mid 40s to lower 50s, close to seasonal normals, Mon-Wed. -GIH && .AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 100 AM Thursday... 24 Hour TAF Period: Snow is exiting KRDU and KFAY at this time so we expect an improvement in visibilities very soon at these locations. Further east, KRWI is still socked into the snow bands and this will continue several more hours before finally letting up closer to 9 or 10Z. As the storm exits some every gusty conditions are expected with winds gusting to 20-25 kts at times across the board. Late this morning a brief period of low level wind shear could be observed mainly at KRDU and KFAY between 10-12Z but can't rule it out everywhere. Mixing to the surface and general gustiness should take over by 12z however. Once the storm exits to the northeast, expect VFR conditions to return for the remainder of the period and the rest of the long term as well. && .CLIMATE...
