burgertime Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 GSP does have some flakes mixing in across the western piedmont and foothills. TWC also putting in a chance of flakes mixed with rain now for tomorrow night. I'm not too excited but it would be nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaculaWeather Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 It really is. I've been waiting to see if it might strengthen a little more before moving out. One thing I have noticed is that the size has grown larger. Not sure how this will work but here is the 850's and 500's merged together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeper, less strength? Just wondering if it will have an impact on our weather overnight and into the next 24 hours. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowless in Carrollton Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm not really sure who or what to believe. BMX says up to an inch of snow possible 15 miles to my west and FFC is skeptical there will be any accumulation here. Wonder who is right ? There's a Winter Weather Advisory all the way south of I-20 in East AL and yet no Advisories in GA ? I don't get it. Not even the counties in Extreme NW GA are under an Advisory.

In the past FFC takes a wait and see attitude when it comes to posting WWA's in GA. They stay on the fence just long enough to make sure they get it right.

If nothing else the northern parts will get a WWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADDOGG Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 i really don't like the looks of the dewpoint.

DAWGNKITTEN Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Is the system moving at all or is it just sitting there getting bigger? Was it supposed to be moving by this time? Just curious of where models said it was going to be compared to where it is, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We really covered this topic in depth last year during the winter storms, not sure why we keep having to rehash this topic. They're conservative.

LithiaWx Posted November 29, 2011 Author Share Posted November 29, 2011 Is the slug of moisture expected to bring some light snow to AL, GA and possibly points NW coming from the batch of moisture currently over NE AR, NW MS and SW TN? I'm trying to get into radar tracking mode here. Looking for what is supposed to swing on in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpstateSnow Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I'm going on my first snow chase of the season tomorrow in Western NC. Anyone want to predict where I can find the most accumulation. I'm thinking about going towards Maggie Valley, but I'm wondering if SW of there might be better.

If that's closed you can take 64 to just west of Franklin, that should be a good spot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my opening page are current conditions and it shows the rate of change for temp and dew point. Right now temp is falling 1.0 per hour and the dew point is falling 2.0 degrees per hour.

UpstateSnow Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 NC 215 @ BRP That looks really good. About 5000 feet. Do you think that 215 will be open? I know they will probably close the parkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoothillsNC Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 the latest RUC at 18 hr and NAM match up nicely for tomorrow. The slug of developing rh associated with the next major vort will pivot across Al and Ga and into the western Carolinas by tomorrow afternoon. Question is for the Upstate and CLT and HKY areas, what type of precip will this be? This may be the third season in a row I've seen pre-Christmas snow here.

Robert, are you thinking the RUC has the timing of the moisture arriving pretty much nailed? Looks like about 9-10 am here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
