GSP mentioned thundersnow in the PM AFD. Guess I should try and catch a nap before midnight. Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 308 PM EST Fri Mar 11 2022 NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/... As the cold front slides through the CFWA overnight, very rapid height falls and intense CAA will filter in behind the front. This will support a 10 degree C drop in 850mb temps in less than two hours across the mountains with rapidly falling snow levels. Expect a quick transition to snow across the mountains just after midnight starting in the Smokies and ridgetops, with the valleys getting in on the action later overnight as snow levels continue to drop. Northwest flow regime will set up shop early Saturday morning and should last well into the afternoon hours along the TN border. With very good saturation through the dendritic growth zone, frontogenetic forcing, and decent duration of snow, elected to continue the Winter Storm Warning above 3500` and Winter Weather Advisory below 3500` over the mountain zones. As the core of the low enters the CFWA overnight, high-res models continue to produce small CAPE which could produce thundersnow with 1-2" per hour snow rates at times. With what looks like a Great Lakes connection and the CAPE potential, wouldn`t be surprised if a few streamers across the mountains developed snow squall characteristics. Temperatures will rapidly drop behind the front due to the very stout CAA, with temperatures dropping throughout the day Saturday. Expect high temperatures to be recorded at midnight tonight as some of the coldest air of the season filters in overnight through Saturday and into the beginning portions of the short term period.

I've picked up 44.75" so far. The models have me thinking I just might break 50" on the season! Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

March 11th-13th Winter Weather Event. Winter's last gasp?
Buckethead replied to Windspeed's topic in Tennessee Valley
I'm hoping NE TN scores on this. Long overdue. I'm concerned about the wind Saturday morning up here on Big Bald. The ground is extremely wet here and I have a feeling there's gonna be quite a few downed trees/ power outages. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

GSP certainly sounds optimistic. Guess I need to go get some more salt. 000 FXUS62 KGSP 081945 AFDGSP Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 245 PM EST Tue Mar 8 2022 .LONG TERM /FRIDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... The bigger story will likely be the cold temps behind the front. The temperature gradient along the front looks particularly strong, as do the post-frontal winds. Temps will remain above freezing even in high elevations most of Friday night, crashing rapidly Saturday morning; profiles quickly become supportive of snowfall across the mountains, and look particularly good for a NW Flow event, which could continue into early Sunday. The elements do look like they are lining up: strong cold advection, strong NW winds, relatively deep moisture with a Great Lake component, and weak surface instability. Accumulating snow certainly looks possible for the NC/TN border areas at this point. Winds could easily reach advisory criteria for the mountains if not portions of the Piedmont in the wake of the front; based on current Bufkit profiles and raw model gusts, High Wind Warning may be warranted for some of the mountains as well. The main caveat currently is whether the low track will continue to trend one way or the other as we approach Friday night. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

12z GFS continuing with 8-12"+ totals along the border this weekend. Still too early for me to trust it, but it's been staying pretty constant with at least some accumulating snow for days now. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

Suprised to say that the snow is still falling and there's a good inch now. I walked up on the AT for a while earlier, the rime ice is pretty impressive above 5500'. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

That south wind is getting loud on the ridgetop above me. It sounds like there's a 747 in the neighborhood. Looking forward to some 50's and rain. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

Yeah, experience tells me that I'm just over halfway through winter up here in Wolf. It would be hard to deliver more than January did, but March is typically my snowiest month (except for last year.) Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk -

I've lived here in Wolf Laurel since May 2017 and the temp at my house hasn't climbed over 80 once. Most summer days at this elevation top out in the low 70's. And we average about 50" of snow annually. There's places in the southeast that you can find what you're looking for without giving up sweet tea lol. I lived south of Columbia for 25 years, so I know how you feel. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk
