February/March 2020 Winter's Last Chance Thread

I’ll take my chances with everything south of us and I wouldn’t feel good about it if I was in the sweet spot right now. . -
Web cam from Ober shows some pretty good snow falling right now. .

Just having a storm within 2 area codes is a win in my book. . -
Will be interesting to see how far north it makes it. To me MRX didn’t indicate any severe in the Knoxville area based on no SBCAPE and warm mid levels. They have a high of mid 50ish in Knoxville. You also gotta think anyone just south of the WF would have the best chance of maximizing shear with a boundary close by. .

That’s a big step forward that the GFS brought that storm back and the Euro shows signs of it. Walk this in to d5 and anything is possible . -
Mountains yet again are taking a beating this morning. The lack of a sold soil will eventually be a real issue. .

Won’t this translate to overrunning and more likely sleet and or RZ? . -

That’s exactly right. In the right “cool” pattern, a well placed ULL can hit a home run. . -

PowellVolz replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
That’s pretty much what that means unless we get this going in the next few weeks. Climo starts working against us in about a month but that doesn’t mean snow is out of the question. Saturday in SE Tennessee is a perfect example of just getting everything timed right, even in a period where almost everything is stacked against snow. . -
That’s a good point .

Maybe it’s me but I’ve noticed recently in these winter time outbreaks you don’t necessarily need strong CAPE north of the best dynamics when lines or QLCS’s develop in the warm sector and move into areas with less destabilization to aid, as long as you still have sufficient wind energy. Seems like they will hang on for a couple of hundred miles before the lack of LI’s or SBCAPE start to eat them up. Knoxville has been just outside of the best combined dynamics and we’ve still had some severe wind during the last 2 events. Just a thought [emoji2369] .

I really hope we get another shot before March. I’m not opposed to snow in March but by then I’m in spring mode. Lawn, landscaping and lotsa golf. . -

PowellVolz replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
I disagree. I think mountains will be up to 15-1 with their temps in the low to mid 20’s for highs. That map is for tomorrow morning through early afternoon. While we probably won’t see that much, the point was this mod was much further south its last run. . -

25-27 for my low temp tonight. If snow is falling in those temps with no sun at all today I think snow stick to the roads. . -
