It continues to look like an active weather pattern with cold air fully entrenched across our Region. Flow snow develops tonight into tomorrow. Another shortwave arrives Tuesday afternoon bringing an additional shot of snow before a much stronger shortwave rounds the base of the Polar Vortex lobe Wednesday afternoon bringing a better chance of accumulations. GSP is stating snow chances almost anytime from Tuesday afternoon to Thursday evening. GSP also stated that the guidance is beginning to pick up another storm system next Saturday with additional snow chances possibly spreading beyond the Mountains.

Pouring down here at the house the past 15 minutes. Temperature is down to 49.

Yes it is. Tornado Watch up for portions of Southern Alabama and SW Georgia. I've had more branches come down when the gusts started this morning than most of the Winter so far.

Currently 55 at the house with winds gusting to 35. Looks like a squall line has developed across Alabama and steadily marching our way. It should arrive this afternoon and then the temperature plummets this evening. I suspect that the winds will be very gusty behind the front with flow snow getting going after midnight.

That's what I was telling Met1985 earlier. Looks like nice little event. It also looks like clipper after clipper the next week or two as well.

47 with light rain. I dodged a bullet and never lost power overnight.

Cataloochee has freezing rain and 31 currently. I'm down to 28 now.

Down to 29 with moderate freezing rain.

Down to 31. Everything elevated has iced over. Deck is beginning to freeze now. Asphalt drive is OK at the moment. I guess it's time to put some salt down so we don't fall while taking the dogs out.

Edit to add: I have ice on the outdoor grill. Temperature just dropped to 32.

All rain and 33 at the house.

Moderate sleet at times. Temp down another degree to 34.

There have been Severe Thunderstorm Warnings off the Upper Texas Gulf Coast and SW Louisiana this afternoon.

Temperature is dropping. My high today was 38 about a half hour ago. Currently 35 with light sleet.

Light snow with a little sleet currently.

Light sleet at the house (3200ft).

37 now. Light snow beginning again at Cataloochee. They're reporting 29.

I've warmed up to 34 now. Snow is flying up at Cataloochee. Hemphill Bald has moderate snow. Nothing at the house currently. Light breeze out of the NE. Heavier returns about to move in. We'll see if it can moisten things up in the Valley.

If you haven't already done it, download mPING app and submit your reports. It is very valuable for GSP and other NWS offices.

Light graupel/snow mix at the house. 31

Light snow at the Top of Cataloochee. They're reporting 27. Look like no warm nose yet. Snowing in Dallas.

Snowing in Chattanooga. 30 here at the house.

Updated Hazard for the next 7 days and if your hoping for a warmup, the CPC Week 3 and 4 Outlook suggests we stay cold into late February.

Just finished pumping out and cleaning the outdoor jacuzzi. Filling it back up now while I have this 50 degree weather. At least we'll have 700 gallons of hot fresh water!

Yes
