Description:"This case study is intended to identify operational tools that will be useful in assessing freezing rain potential in the coastal plain of the Carolinas. A very damaging ice storm occurred across portions of the eastern Carolinas on 25-26 January 2004. Operational forecast models had difficulty resolving the very shallow subfreezing air mass present during these two days. A review of this event indicated that although model trends were in error, there were several parameters suggesting there would be precipitation type problems. Useful forecasting tools were identified, including pattern recognition, surface wet bulb temperature, and shallow-layer (1000-950 hPa) partial thicknesses"--Abstract.
