Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 22.2 degrees in Weaverville according to weather station up there. That's interesting that it's colder there than it is at Grandfather Mountain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packbacker Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 RAP has been very consistent in bringing in a batch of precip, up to .2", through central NC, we should see some flakes from that, if its correct. This would be between 9-midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallsLake Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 RAP has been very consistent in bringing in a batch of precip, up to .2", through central NC, we should see some flakes from that, if its correct. As everybody always ask, does that take in evaporation. I know somebody said the operational models do but not sure if the RAP does. **if it does then .2 could be more than a few flakes.

Moonhowl Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 22.2 degrees in Weaverville according to weather station up there. That's interesting that it's colder there than it is at Grandfather Mountain. GSP said there would be a bit of a warm nose with this system which they expect to dissapate by the time the precip starts. Sun is still blazing in Avl and up to 26.

nchighcountrywx Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 KGSP Morning Update NEAR TERM /THROUGH TONIGHT/... AS OF 900 AM...MRX RADAR INDICATING SNOW IS FALLING OUT OF THE CLOUDS SEEN ON SATELLITE OVER TN/KY...BUT THE ECHOES DIMINISH IN LOW LEVELS AS THE SNOW SUBLIMATES IN THE DRY NEAR SFC AIR. INDEED NONE OF THE EAST TN OBS REPORT SNOW ATTM. A FEW VERY WEAK RETURNS ARE ALREADY SEEN OVER THE NC MOUNTAINS BUT SAME STORY APPLIES. HOWEVER STRONGER RETURNS ARE MOVING THROUGH THE CUMBERLAND PLATEAU RAPIDLY AND VIA WET BULB EFFECT THESE WILL MOISTEN THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE. LATEST RAP AND NAM SUGGEST SOME PRECIP COULD REACH THE GROUND IN THE SW NC MTNS BEFORE 18Z...SO BROUGHT ONSET OF POPS TO 15Z THERE. AFTERNOON TREND LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW. ALSO MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO TEMPS...DEWPOINTS AND SKY COVER...WITH THE MAIN EFFECT TO KEEP CLEAR SKIES LONGER OVER THE PIEDMONT AND SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPS THERE.

Lookout Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Asheville gets shadowed by 5000ft mtns on all sides except south. Downslope kills QPf in Asheville many times. When I lived there for 2 years i saw many times AVL get squat while waynesville gets 3-4 inches. It was quite annoying to see happen over and over. In fact the valley where Asheville sits is one of the driest parts of the state. I can testify to that. Been there a number of times (I try to make the trip where there is a chance of snow) and what you describe is exactly the case. It's pretty amazing to see the difference in person.

And a drive just an hour southwest from the balsam chain west. Is one of the wettest places in the country. Go figure downsloping at its best.

dwagner88 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I got about 0.25 here, it really came down for about 30 minutes, but unfortunately it was about half sleet at my location. Really cut down on accumulation. That being said, it's measurable, and it's the most snow I've seen since February 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
