Cheeznado Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Interestingly enough the new Euro and also the UKMET say even down to the northern burbs of ATL we could see a few flakes tomorrow, especially if the precip lasts into tomorrow night. Nothing will stick of course but this winter I will take what I will get. I will be in Alpharetta drinking beer tomorrow so maybe I can see something. May even toodle on up north further if the mood strikes. Too bad it is Super Bowl Sunday weekend (have a party to attend), or a road trip to Boone would have been in order.

Moonhowl Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 GSP shows a trace east of the mountains? Blurb in GSP discussion: MODEL SOLUTIONS CONTINUE THE TREND OF SPREADING SOME VERY LIGHT PRECIP INTO THE PIEDMONT...OWING TO LESS OF A DOWNSLOPE COMPONENT IN THE PRE-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT. POPS HAVE BEEN INCREASED TO SLIGHT/LOW CHANCE IN MOST AREAS. IF PRECIP DOES FALL ACROSS THE FOOTHILLS/ PIEDMONT OF NORTH CAROLINA...IT WILL LIKELY BE IN THE FORM OF A VERY -RA/-SN MIX.

Tacoma Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 18z still looks good for snow in NE AL and into Northern GA and in East TN and WNC. but why is it that buncombe county is not in the wwa again. its hard to believe every time we have a shot at snow everyone around us is in a wwa but not buncombe county. maybe they'll put us under one later. i was hoping for maybe a couple of inches out of this one since last night and last week was a skiffing. everyone keeps saying how good wnc as a whole looks and more precip. keeps showing up with each run.

Ya it seems like Madison county really takes away the moisture from yall. Although last night the Northern part of the county got some good snows. I think that yall may get into the Advisory by tomorrow morning depending on how things trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Nam Looks pretty good for the mountains. You can really see the second piece of energy drop down Sunday morning and enhance the snow across the TN/NC boarder. They may have to extend the Advisory into Sunday evening if that happens.
