What forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this winter storm warning 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 winter storm warning went out at Dec 7, 2:52 PM EST, 1 hour 2 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Dec 7, 2:52 PM EST, 1 hour 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Raleigh NC 252 PM EST Fri Dec 7 2018 .SYNOPSIS... A cold front will continue to move south through the Carolinas tonight. A strong storm system will develop across the lower Mississippi Valley on Saturday, move into the Southeast on Sunday and then move east of the Outer Banks on Monday. Another storm system will develop off the Southeast coast late Monday before high pressure builds into the region for Tuesday into Wednesday. && .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... As of 215 PM Friday... A dry cold front continues to march across the CWA this afternoon and is now crossing into the southeastern half of the area and will continue to push through this afternoon. Winds are variable at this time but all are maintaining a northerly component to the flow. Dewpoints are solidly in the low to mid 20s. High clouds are becoming more dense and this has cut off some insolation but we have already achieved expected highs for the day. With that in mind, will bump up daytime highs a degree or two for the afternoon package. Not expecting much in the way of ceiling or visibility restrictions overnight but we will have increasing clouds from the southwest which will help stave off any major drop in low temperatures like we saw last night. Expect the lowest temperatures to occur in the northeast with mid to upper 20s there and mid 30s in the southwest Piedmont. For Saturday clouds will overspread the area and ceilings will lower from southwest to northeast and this will and precipitation will begin to occur in the form of liquid rain across the southern counties by late morning to early afternoon. The northward advance of the precipitation may take a while to occur as the low levels will need to moisten significantly before precipitating. Models are in good agreement on the onset time of the rain in the south (between 15-18Z) but less certain across the Triad and the Triangle but should be around 00z Sunday give or take. As far as temperatures are concerned, daytime highs will top out in the low 40s and there isn't much of a threat for winter p-types until after 00z which will be addressed in the short term section of the discussion below. && .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/... As of 350 AM Friday... Significant winter storm over portions of central NC still appears possible late Saturday night through early Monday, though details on dominant precipitation type and amounts still exists. Based on slightly faster precip arrival, have started the watch shortly after midnight Saturday night and expanded to capture Montgomery County. Possible expansion of the watch to the east may occur later today if it appears the atmosphere will remain colder longer. High confidence a significant winter storm will impact portions of central NC, with greatest impacts likely along and north of the I-85 corridor. Lesser confidence exists with respect to p-types and the resultant accumulations and respective locations of each type. A winter storm watch remains in effect for the aforementioned areas from late Saturday night through Monday. There will likely be a very sharp gradient in snowfall accumulations, with some locations possibly seeing greater accumulations of sleet or freezing rain along that gradient. Even the slightest shift in track, timing, temperature, etc. will result in significant impacts to the forecast. Overview: Biggest change here is the better agreement in timing between the models. A pair of upper level lows/troughs will develop on Saturday, one off the Southern Rockies/Desert Southwest and the other over the Northern High Plains/SW Canada. The former will shift eastward then east-northeastward through the ARKLATEX and into the TN Valley/Virginias while the latter will dive south-southeastward, deepening over the Plains/Midwest. Expect strong moisture advection into the Gulf Coast states and Southeast US ahead of the system Saturday and Sunday. Cold, high pressure will dominate at the surface over the Great Lakes region, ridging into western/central NC through the period in a CAD setup. Meanwhile, a surface low will develop along the Gulf Coast on Saturday in response to the upper level system. The surface low is expected to move along the Gulf Coast, through the panhandle of FL and northeast along and offshore of the Carolina coast. The wedge will remain in place over NW portions of the area. As a result, there will be a very strong pressure gradient across NC on Sunday/Sunday night, stronger the farther east you go. Timing: Precipitation will likely move into central NC very slowly from the south-southwest on Saturday, beginning as liquid across the south for much of the day, while northern portions of central NC could remain dry until Saturday night. Onset of snow will likely occur after midnight Sunday in the far west/northwest portions of the area (near the Triad). Expect the transition to wintry precipitation eastward with time through 8 AM Sunday. P-type: As mentioned above, a lot of uncertainty still remains with respect to the type of wintry precipitation any given location will see and when/how much will occur. Any small change/difference in timing, temperature, thermal profile, etc. will impact the p-type. As past events would suggest, a purely snow event is not likely as there is usually a mix of wintry p-types. Expect several p-type changes throughout the event, especially along the I-85 corridor, with snow, sleet and freezing rain all possibilities. Regardless of p-type, liquid equivalents could range from 1.0 inch NE to 2.3 inches SW. Greatest snowfall accumulation is expected across the northern and northwestern piedmont (i.e. the Triad) where amounts in the 6 to 10 inch range are increasingly likely. There will likely be a sharp gradient in the snowfall accumulation along the I-85 corridor, as the mix of sleet and freezing rain will cut down on snowfall totals. However, the impacts are still likely to be significant as sleet and freezing rain accumulations in that gradient zone would also meet winter storm warning criteria and result in significant travel impacts. It is more important to focus on the impacts and not amounts at this time as the impacts are the same regardless of how much of which p-type accumulates where. Temperatures: Highs on Saturday expected to top out in the low to mid 40s while Sunday will be much colder in the NW, with highs topping out in the low 30s, while the SE should reach into the low to mid 40s again. Lows both Saturday and Sunday nights will be similar, upper 20s to mid 30s. && .LONG TERM /MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/... As of 250 PM Friday... MONDAY AND TUESDAY: The unsettled weather pattern will persist on Monday as additional upstream energy in the form of a closed low and an associated 70+ kt jet over the lower Mississippi Valley slowly slips southeast into the northern Gulf Coast Monday night. The mean trough axis doens't slip east into eastern NC until Tuesday morning, resulting in a continued chance of light precipitation for Monday into Monday night. The precipitation is generated by forcing for ascent from the intensifying jet around the upper trough, low level isentropic lift which is enhanced by surface cyclogenesis that occurs off the Southeast coast. Given the thermal profile, it will be difficult to get much snow on the northwest flank of the precipitation shield but the surface temperatures will be at or below freezing, so a continued chance of freezing rain exists on Monday morning northwest of Roanoke Rapids, Raleigh, or Albemarle before temperatures crawl above freezing by midday. Additional freezing rain accumulations on Monday morning should be minimal, perhaps an additional glaze. Early morning temperatures on Monday will range from 28 northwest to 36 southeast with highs on Monday ranging from 36 in the in-situ damming region in the Triad to 41 in the southeast. Temperatures will fall again during the evening, potentially allowing the precipitation to end as some light freezing rain or drizzle on Monday evening as the precipitation shield slips southeast. All of the precipitation should be over by daybreak Tuesday with lows down into the 20 to 25 range across the Triad where a snow cover is still expected, with lows in the 25 to 30 degree range in the eastern Piedmont to around freezing in the Southeast. As a northwest flow develops aloft on the back side of the departing trough, skies will clear and some sunshine is expected on Tuesday. Highs will likely be chilled by the snow cover in the Triad, only ranging in the upper 30s with highs in the lower 40s elsewhere. Lows on Tuesday night should fall into the lower to mid 20s with clear skies and even some upper teens in the Triad where snow cover is likely to persist. WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: Wednesday will be dominated by high pressure at the surface and ridging aloft. There are actually two surface highs in play. A weaker one to the south which will be dissolving in favor of a stronger high to the north which will move over New England and into a favorable spot for cold air damming by Thursday. Therefore clear skies on Wednesday and plenty of sunshine with highs in the 40s. Clouding up by Thursday morning, particularly in the NW Piedmont, becoming cloudy throughout the day as northeasterly winds lock in cold air damming. Have come down well below guidance on high temperatures given this signal. Highs in the low 40s across the NW Piedmont with low 50s in the southeast. Precipitation could begin by Thursday afternoon which will only further lock in the wedge. At this time, looks like this will be an all liquid rain event as surface temperatures bottom out at 34 degrees in the NW Piedmont by early Friday morning. && .AVIATION /20Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 100 PM Friday... 24 Hour TAF period: VFR conditions continue over the forecast area even as a cold front moves through. As it does, the only affect on aviation will be with regards to winds as they become more variable as the front moves through with the occasional gust to 15 kts. Otherwise just some intermittent high clouds over the area. With dry air in place, not expecting any sub-VFR ceilings or visibilities overnight. By Saturday afternoon, expect rain to begin approaching from the south reaching KFAY by 15z but not advancing to northern terminals until after the end of the TAF period. Long term: Adverse conditions expected as a winter storm moves into central NC from the south. Expect the greatest impacts from winter weather at KINT, KGSO and KRDU. Impacts will be less at KFAY and KRWI as the primary form of precipitation here will be rain. Expect mostly snow at KINT and KGSO beginning Sunday morning and lasting through Monday morning. There will be some chance for mixed precipitation here as well but the primary type will be snow. For KRDU the time line is similar but with much more uncertainty regarding p-type. There is a greater possibility for more significant freezing rain here. Impacts from this storm will end by Monday afternoon and conditions will gradually improve returning to VFR for the middle of the week. && .RAH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
