  1. I know, I know..it's the HRRR in la la land (end of it's run)..but something interesting. As the center of the trough passes by, there is an enhancement of snow over the valley. Something to watch for on the other short range modeling. With the way everything is modeled, and such a vigorous trough (evident by the numerous banding features on all short range models), while the wrap around low moisture is almost locked in, I think there is a "potential" to bust high across the valley back to middle TN on the forcing from the trough itself (wringing out all available moisture/ terrain enhancement for the plateau adding even more lift/ and the high snow ratios shown)....but could be wishful thinking too lol
  2. Wow, LaConte only got 6-8"? Recorded over a foot on the Skyway here. But, yeah it's usually about 25-30% below what the 3k shows on the peak here.
  3. Almost time to start watching reality vs short range models...almost a 40° spread between St.Louis to Omaha currently
  4. Problem with the plumes is they are basically an "ensemble" view of the NAM (use that loosely)...and they are like any other models ensembles at close range (jump more due to not being able to get a mean spread since it is so close to the event)...and in the fact they like to really overamp members, they arent good for totals. But they are one way to see a precursor of what the upcoming NAM run may do. They are for trend purposes only. As far as the RGEM, it used to be horrible IMBY..but the last year or so it has done a remarkable job on borderline events here. The more micro climates are at play, the more I pay attention to it.
  5. WAA really getting going here this morning...temps in 20s in the valley, 50s at 1500'
  6. One thing that is prevelant behind the front on the 3k and HRRR, is the banding MRX was talking about...3k has some intense rates under them
  7. Soundings from Crossville and Athens after front passes thru @45 on the NAM..has a dry nose working in around the 700mb level
  8. Before everyone cliff jumps lol...while not good, any shift in the LP generation will have big impacts on East TN. Models don't handle lee side genesis well.
