Met1985 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Radar looks real good coming in from the West also. I like how that moisture is rotating down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 WxSouth2 hours ago Another big part of the storm will be the strong northwest flow snow event (NWFS) in the Southern Appalachians. Eastern TN and western NC mountains will get slammed with the best setup for upslope snows this Winter, strong winds, plenty of moisture at the 850 level and very cold (-10 !) coming in Wednesday, so look for strong instability, steep lapse rates and vicious snow squalls if you're travelling I-81, I-26, I-40 through the southern Apps tomorrow. The snow will continue until Thursday morning. Snow showers easily making it down into the northern GA counties of Fannin, Union, Towns, Rabun. Some mountain peaks will get over a Foot of snow in TN, NC. Asheville NC has the best shot at finally seeing some flakes this Winter--now that it is March. Thanks for this post Don.

I'm not sure where I will end up, but I should surely break an inch. I had 30 minutes of heavy wind blown snow. Everything... roads.. sidewalks all white. Probably a good 1/2 inch already. Hopefully, much more to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a intense squall for sure. Upstream radar is looking good! Of course, WLOS has no idea that, in the own town that they cover, that roads and ground are white.

I wonder if Sinclair or the stations GM restricts some of them. The others just seem like they want to get home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
