FoothillsNC Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 we've got a slow moving front that will be slowly moving east and eventually closing off. Where it closes off makes the difference, right now the GFS says near WVA and the PA region , but the NAM is faster with it. I like the looks of GFS most since its 12z run, either way, big rain event once again west of the Apps,a nd it has maybe an inch in the NC region with much more over the mid Atlantic and Northeast where the closing off draws in plenty of atlantic moisture. I'd say best chance for any flakes would be the mtns of Wva, but shouldn't be much other than token mention. If the GFS begins to close off much more strongly like the NAM then it would change to something more substantial but the GFS is on a hot streak lately and its close to 72 hours from when the closing off is, so it wouild be quite a miss for it at this range. The cold is going to take hold in the Northeast at the end of this week though for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricanelonny Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 With the AO/NAO expected to go neg. for the beginning of May. That would be a characteristic of the AO/NAO. We even got what I would call a dew front here in S. FL. Humidity is down. The beach was nice this morning. Dry. No sweat riding the bike. Won't last long down here. http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/precip/CWlink/daily_ao_index/ao.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 GSP... OTHER THAN SLIGHT CHANCE (UPSLOPE/WRAP-AROUND) POPS ALONG THE TENN BORDER...WEDNESDAY/S FORECAST IS DRY...IN COLD ADVECTIVE/DRYING NW FLOW. MAX TEMPS WILL ALSO BE QUITE COOL...ALMOST 10 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL IN MOST AREAS DESPITE MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. THERE COULD EVEN BE SOME HIGH ELEVATION FLURRIES ALONG THE TENN BORDER. Of course Im going to the Pkwy at 6053' Wednesday morning. Would love to catch some May token flakes!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoothillsNC Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 Of course Im going to the Pkwy at 6053' Wednesday morning. Would love to catch some May token flakes!!! I think its a good chance of occurring now. By Wed. morning the cold advection is strong and a moderate/strong s/w swings into sw VA and is accompanied by enough moisture and just cold enough at 5000 feet for snow. Both GFS and NAM have it now, so some upslope snow showers are in order for most of Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted May 2, 2011 Share Posted May 2, 2011 I remember the almost 60" of snow in May at Mt. Pisgah in 1992... We got a dusting where I lived in Transylvania County. We went up the mountain the night it started to see it and played for a while, then had hot chocolate and pie at the Inn. It was so surreal!

FoothillsNC Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 I didn't see any reports of snow in NC, other than whats reported in here. I did see WVA had a tornado (EF 1) early this morning and one county had snow and hail, so thats pretty wild in the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoJoe Posted May 4, 2011 Share Posted May 4, 2011 A few token flakes here early this morning. A pretty raw and nasty day for May. Temp - 36.6 (High 43.7) Partly Cloudy Wind - 13/23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats your personal record on consecutive months of snow (even flurries) while there? I'm guessing Sept-May, so maybe 9 months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
