  1. I've been getting little waves of light snow all morning. It'll snow for a while then taper off, then pick back up. I think it has been struggling to reach the surface even up here in SE Morgan county
  2. Strat split still showing up in early Feb Old googly eyed pattern
  3. FYI I edited the topic title to Jan 24 - 26. Somehow I got it in my head when I made this yesterday that today was the 25th
  4. Sorry about that, but I was pretty confident you'd have until noon and I still don't think we see bad roads (other than usual East TN drivers) until after 12, but better safe than sorry.
  5. You can actually see the lift associated with the right entrance region of the mid level jet the SPC talks about in the satellite overnight: mid level jet: Watch this area:
  6. SPC has given us a mesoscale disco: Mesoscale Discussion 0041 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0554 AM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Areas affected...Southern Kentucky...Western and Middle Tennessee...Far Northern Alabama...Far Northern Mississippi Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 241154Z - 241800Z SUMMARY...A mix of wintry precipitation is expected this morning from the Mid-South northeastward into Tennessee and southern Kentucky, where snow, sleet and freezing rain will be possible this morning. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery across the southeastern U.S. shows a large area of precipitation from Arkansas extending eastward to the southern Appalachians. This precipitation is being supported by strong lift associated with the right entrance region of an expansive mid-level jet, and by ascent due to a 40 to 50 knot low-level jet over the lower to mid Mississippi Valley. The nose of the low-level jet will move east-northeastward across the Mid-South and Tennessee Valley this morning, contributing to the maintenance of widespread precipitation. RAP forecast soundings across the region have a warm nose from 900 to 700 mb, where temperatures are forecast to gradually warm to near 0 C after daybreak this morning. This will result in a wintry mix of precipitation. Snow may continue in parts of southern Kentucky through midday. However, further south into western and middle Tennessee, a transition to sleet and freezing rain will be likely. In far northern Mississippi and far northern Alabama, the predominant precipitation type will be freezing rain. ..Broyles/Mosier.. 01/24/2026
  7. From the AFD: "Our hazards issued and latest WSSI from WPC depict this thinking pretty well with lesser winter storm impacts nearly east of the I-75 to 40 to I-81 corridor. A portion of this area doesn`t meet minor impacts, even." Here is the WSSI they mention from the WPC:
  8. MRX updated their ice accretion forecast about an hour ago:
  9. Nice dendrite in the pre dawn hours: The actual Baja low hasn't made landfall on Baja quite yet:
  10. @tnwxwatcher I would not be surprised if precip. starts quite a bit earlier than most models were showing last night based on the obs. above. I still think noon is a good call for travel getting worse, but if possible, I'd try to finish up those deliveries in Sevier county in as safe and an expeditious way as possible.
  11. Just a quick reminder, I made an obs thread now that we are getting precip. You may also post there if you wish. I am not a moderator and would not tell anyone what to do, but I do now some folks like to read the straight up obs. in the long hot summer months.
  12. Wow, I was about to say I bet a lot is virga based on the hole around OHX radar:
  13. IMO if you can get all that done before noon you will be fine, of course no idea what Sevier county traffic will be like.
  14. Now to be totally fair, the HP has weakened some (based on SPC mesoanalysis) since contentwx posted the above:
  15. Might as well throw of Cranky/ contentwxguy out against the wall too, and see if anything sticks: Since he originally posted a gif, here is one showing the wavebreak he drew in
  16. Here is the trend centered on 0z this evening, def slower moving out of TX. Heights have also been creeping south out that way.
