Just Rain for Raleigh

#1 Postby Suncat » Wed Jan 19, 2005 6:29 pm

The local mets are calling for primarily a rain event in Raleigh this weekend. They are really down playing the possibility of anything more serious. Looks like we've missed this train! :cry:

If you look at the 18zGFS 850 temp profiles, it would indicate you will go over to snow.
