HWY316wx Posted December 11, 2010 Author Share Posted December 11, 2010 I only made it to 49 here today. Forecasted high was supposed to be 54. Hmmm.... I think the cloud cover might have held it down. It's 45 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEGa Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 WWA only 2 counties north of me. That might be the closest I get to one all winter I'm surprised they're so gung ho with this system...though I suppose a WWA can be issued for less than an inch if travel will become treacherous (I think). i am one county away lol. white county has one but not me, of course helen, suches, nacoochee etc will see snow (and i will probably be there tomorrow!) Stopped off at Hickory Nut Falls this afternoon. Quite a sight frozen almost solid, and it's 400 feet high. Very cloudy here, and 45 degrees. Still no wind. thats an awesome pic!!

FoothillsNC Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Boone, NC is at 36/19 right now, with a wetbulb of 30. Asheville is 33 WB. Think Boone is probably a lock for a mix if not all snow. the 925 and 850 barely supports it for the event, but no model is giving a lot of moisture up that way, as much as say Asheville. The models GFS and NAM are both similar in w. NC with precip (GA too) with about .50" in AVL and a little less than that in the northern mountains. Both models paint more qpf in southwest NC and over .75" in northern GA. If it were just the tiniest bit colder, northern GA would be looking a nice snowfall event. Still can't completely rule out some decent accuulations overnight there, I've seen stranger things happen and it wouldn't be that unheard of for models to miss some soundings just a degree or 2 at some level. The smokies southwest of Ashevile could really be looking at a good thump overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its progged to strenghten continuously on its trip to about St Louis then northern Tennessee by midday tomorrow, before getting absorbed. I haven't seen much talk about it, but it sort of reminds me of the 2009 March snow from Memphis to ATL and up the coast, not as strong but still very respectable. I think some nice suprises are on the way for the Tenn. region tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Right Now OHX is calling for 2-3" of snow for Nashville. I would not be shocked to see localized higher amounts closer to the Ky border. I plan to move to my other place nw of here about 10 miles south of the KY line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WB is 36.9 - down 5 since this afternoon. Pretty neat event. Here are some wetbulbs from 7pm. The surface map still has a high centered near DC, and this is keeping air piled up against the mountains tonight, with dewpoints still in the teens there, giving them low wetbulbs as well. On the west side of the Apps, stronger southwest flow is pulling in juicy warmer air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
