    6z NAM is a tad bit warmer and that makes all of the difference. Let’s see what the 12z runs day, but it’s about time to start leaning on the 3km.

    Anybody watching the NAM? Another 3”-4” event for Asheville Thursday afternoon and into the night. Not really sure what to think. Absolutely nothing else shows this. Looking at the soundings the column around Asheville goes frozen right as the heavy precip moves in. Weak LP keeps that warm nose down. Cold air source is very meager. That’s the problem here, but NAM says it’s enough.

    Sorry to hear about your mom buddy. Hope her recovery is quick and painless!

    Yeah Euro isn’t the King anymore. If the NAM nails this one I will start calling it the king. 12km 18z NAM run just gave KAVL 3.5” on the kuchera maps... has a perfect snow sounding around 11am Thursday.

    12z Euro is basically a complete whiff for everyone.

    Could be. Not sure how that trailing precipitation is going to act. All depends on the phase and when it occurs. GFS has it moving in around 8am so I guess we shall see.

    Here is the sounding from around KAVL early Thursday AM as showers move in per the 12z 12km NAM. 3k NAM is around 2 degrees warmer. Very limited warm nose here which is certainly something to watch.

    I am still intrigued with Thursday. Most recent 12km NAM & 3km is limiting that warm nose at 700mb and could allow some sloppy flakes to fall during heavy precipitation bursts. Then the 12km has a bit of deformation action on the backside Thursday night. Still several details need to be resolved and 1-2 degrees here is going to make a huge difference for valley locations. Continuing to watch soundings. Elevations above 3500' should see 2"-4".

    Give me 3 more hybrid clippers and I’ll be satisfied. Lol

    At Hr 84 the column is nearly frozen. Wet bulb would probably slow for moisture to fall is snow. Several EPS members also have the chance for a dusting or so either from a front end thump, or a backside push of moisture. Several possibilities here.

    Lots of details still to be figured out with this Thursday into Friday system. NAM has a phased solution that hammers the High Country. Would love to see that high pressure trend to 1030mb.

    12z GFS has snow showers Thursday am for SW WNC as that front moves along the Gulf Coast. If we could get this high pressure to build in a bit more we could have another small event for the area.

    Here were a few time-lapses as the heavy band moved through this morning.

    Thank you! One band can make or break a forecast here in the mountains of WNC.

    Setup for Friday & into Saturday of next week is not terrible on the Canadian and Euro. Lots of players on the field and the Euro and Canadian are nowhere close to each other, but each solution pans out to snowfall in the High Country. This timeframe has my attention, lets see what the models do with building in a high pressure. The overall progression is very slow with the waves, so imo an increased chance for phasing to occur.

    Here is a radar grab of that band that brought most of the French Broad River Valley snow this morning.

    Got about 2.5” at my house here in Alexander from that nice band that setup over us for several hours. Best snow of the season for the French Broad River Valley so far.

    Getting some nice bursts of heavy snow in North Asheville. Trying to dig out a foundation so not as fun as it could be. Shortwave tonight should provide another shot for accumulation for many.

    Been a busy day. I like to use the 3km, it is my model of choice with upslope.. but even it is wrong sometimes. Here is my map for this event that I am about to post.
  21. Hvward
    A beautiful sunrise this morning over Alexander! I have around a half inch of accumulation.
  22. Hvward
    Got a nice deck coating from this already as a decent band has setup right over me.
  23. Hvward
    Loving all the reports! This thread is about to get even more hoping I have a light snow falling at my house in valley along the French Broad in Alexander.
  24. Hvward
    No kidding the NAM is extremely bullish. Even has near a half inch at KAVL.
  25. Hvward
    Thank you. Shouldn’t let people get to me, but at times it happens.
