1234snow

Added another inch in the last hour of so according to radar. It has come a heavy storm/rain every evening/night since Tuesday. Many close by lightning strikes and good wind on most of the nights. Some good soaking rain after the initial line of storms have moved through each evening. Tonight is more of a slow moving storm motion with heavy downpours and no lightning. I will guess around 5-6 inches of rain this week. Quite the contrast from the drought we have had. Each day this week made it above 90 before the storms until todays high of 83.

Eastern Kentucky has been getting slammed all morning with heavy rain

I know that March/April are windy months but I’ve never remembered a whole week of constant winds over 20-30mph every day.

There was a report of a 74mph wind gust at 9:00pm at Cove Mountain. Not too far away from this fire. Also, a fire has broke out on Clinch Mountain east of Gate City.

Just had a nasty squall line come through with accumulating sleet that has covered the ground/cars with a dusting. Wind is whipping.

I can believe it. That band was really cranking. Another small band is moving over the house now. Winds are ripping with this one.

That band was super intense. Like you said the visibility down to nothing. It was tough driving for a little bit. Roads got very white. About as hard as it can snow. On the north side of the band the sun is peaking through the clouds. 23 degrees.

Really heavy snow streamer has set up over Kingsport coming out of the northwest. Interesting little feature.

3” here. Not a bad system. Some trees are down from the wind. It blew fiercely all night. About as close to a blizzard as we will get. The returns did lose some steam as they progressed in the NE valley. But I wouldn’t call it a snow hole this time. A very fun system to watch unfold dynamically.

It is really coming down good right now.

Mesoscale discussion for heavy snow is out from the SPC. 1-2” inch an hour rates.

Took a 2 hour nap to wake up to snow [emoji41]

Does the TIMS model apply if it is in Memphis during a snowstorm?!?

Band of snow is quickly knocking at Memphis’ doorstep. Looks like no problem turning to snow there. High of 68 today. I still have my doubts for NETN and Scott County, VA snowhole that has been a big feature this year. I feel strongly that game is on for most of the Valley and Plateau. I hope everyone enjoys the snow. It is the 29th anniversary of the Superstorm of 93. Something about March 12th.

Y’all might want to check out the 0z GFS. Negative tilted trough…….. [emoji7]

A really nice band moved through Louisville and it continuing southeast. I have no clue if it will stick together but there have been some special weather statements on it.

Have finally made it to 1.75. Lol. Light snow continues. 23 degrees. This system has been one big tease I will say.

Back to light snow now

We’ve seen a lot of dry slots from winter storms in the valley before. But I don’t recall the middle of a storm looking like the eye of a hurricane.

All sleet here for the past hour. The fun is over here.

Had a lull and now a sleet/snow mix as the winds pick up.

Light dusting on everything except the pavement.

That is just insane! A few flakes just started here. 33 degrees. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Under a mesoscale discussion now for the 3rd storm in a row. It is meant more for the mountains but the western edge of the circle still makes it here.

Convection in the Gulf of Mexico looks vertical to me instead of parallel to the coast line. Hopefully it stays that way and doesn’t race too far out in front to the east.
