Listen up folks...................before posting here read the pinned thread on posting etiquette, then re-read it several times until you completely understand.

 

Consider this a warning to everyone.  My trigger finger is running on a short fuse and time outs/warnings will be issued without notice

All the wow's and boom's don't do crap for me here in Dahlonega.  Congrats to WNC and other parts of TN and NC.

 

12z NAM tells me to enjoy my cold rain.  0z Friday still too warm at the surface for snow thanks to that nice warm nose wrapping north of the low.  It's frustrating getting the 500mb low and the 700mb south of me which where you want to be with ULL's and the warm air is wrapping too much on the north side.

GFS significantly weaker with upper level features. At 36 hours, 850 temps do not crash behind the low down into N GA/N ALA like they did on 6z run and not at all like 12z NAM.

Precip also moving out more quickly than 6z GFS and much more so than 12z NAM. Much more a of a cold chasing moisture run.

Looks like there will be some rain/snow showers that roll through northern bama and that scoots east into NGA.  WNC is going to get smashed!  looks like we are going to see snow over all of NC.  I think the Escarpment of SC *higher terrain into northern SC* will do very well as well.  Meanwhile down here in the desert, we look to get shafted again with barely enough rain to measure.

Yep it's a lot quicker....but you gotta think now the NAM and SREF have a better handle. SREF has all snow across NC from hours 42 to 48 which is when the heaviest precip is making it's way east.

I'm surprised that you are not colder than this with the dynamics at play here. You are right about where you are in relation to the 500 and 700mb low. 700mb temps of -7.6

You are no alone :lol:   Each run lately has trended a little drier, from around 2" a couple days ago to now under 1/2", but I'll take what I can get  ;)

Yeah, it doesn't look good for us at the moment.   If this can come in during daylight I'm seriously thinking I might chase.   At least to maybe Pickens county off 53 where you can get up to 3000 feet pretty easily.  I'm starting to have my doubts about that even

12z GFS pretty much confirms the minimal snow threat for far NE GA.  By 6z skies have totally cleared out which should allow temps to drop into the 20s.  I think the biggest threat across parts of N GA will be black ice.
