Pumping. Vis down less than 1/2 mile with at least 1/4” so far. .

You can see banding working in . 850 frontogenesis below

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 116 AM EST Sat Jan 31 2026 The CAMs continue to suggest banded structures in the simulated reflectivity though this might not be a strong case for mesoscale banding. If that were to develop, there could be sharp stripes and gradients of snowfall. Either way, there will probably be at least one axis of heavier precip/snow where the better frontogenesis sets up on the north side of the 850 mb low. What is interesting is how several guidance sources want to place the best snow potential somewhere out in that triangle area bounded by GSP/CLT/CAE later today. Guidance also has been consistent with a stripe of better snow potential somewhere in northeast GA, but confidence in placement will be elusive until/unless we see it start to materialize. Note that if we have banding, some places will get less than expected. However, the air mass should be cold enough...generally in the low/mid 20s outside the mtns...and the rates high enough...upwards of 1/2 to 1 inch per hour...that even lower accums will result in significant challenges to transportation as the snow easily sticks to roadways. There could also be some blowing snow concerns through the event that could result in brief near-blizzard conditions in some spots, particularly during the daylight hours.

Lets go!

27/18 light snow!

Uppped totals. Good to see as I get up I thought a decrese.

Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 116 AM EST Sat Jan 31 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Snow amounts have been bumped up slightly across the region, mainly over the NC Foothills, but most places very similar to the previous fcst. LETS GO. Flakes. I just woke up!

They’ve got me in the 3 to 7 range Saturday day. Possibility of an inch before sunrise. .

Solid. Solid!

This will Also be colder correct? [emoji41] .

Our little guy coming down out of the Dakota's .

My brain is mush after the last two weeks. Ready for go time.

From the updated AFD at 1:53. Working off the 06 runs as stated.

Got that strip through the SSE side of my county. Im like 5 miles to the N of it.

RAP has a later start time also for MBY. 4am

Got a link?

UNCA will be sending Balloons up starting at 6 Pm today

Thats a good call for them. I hope others do. I work in Rutherford County school (AP at East Middle) and over buses. We had a 1 hr delay today (for some reason). Lots of issues even this morning. I hit lots of ICE still around on many roads.

I think this will be the battle zone (at least until a new zone is created LOL).

Current WV LOOP Watching this today among many others.

ULL stays neutral longer . Also go time. The model whiplash should be crazy today. .

Feeling good under a warning this morning. I hate the word lock in winter weather but the 9 in 10 chance is 2-3" . Of course the high end 1 in 10 is 9-11". Getting close to nowcast time

Yeah, that’s the best line so far[emoji1634] .
