Met1985 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Just looking at the 00z GFS and wow the arctic blast coming in about a week means business.

Met1985 Posted January 1, 2014 Author Share Posted January 1, 2014 Going to be a fun 48 hours. I think the snowfall totals are underdone but that just my opinion. We will see but first big event for the mountains. Bring it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 From Eric Thomas at WBTV Travel conditions could be dangerous Thursday night in the mountains. Blowing snow with gusts to 60mph. #ncwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I am just looking forward to all of us being able to talk about some flakes. Things look good for them falling from the sky, thats about all we know right now lol. Hopefully a couple of use are in for a sweet surprise!

nchighcountrywx Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Discussion from KGSP on our impending winter storm event: SHORT TERM /THURSDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/... AS OF 255 PM EST WEDNESDAY...NW FLOW WILL INCREASE RAPIDLY ACROSS THE NC MTNS THURSDAY EVENING. H8 WINDS INCREASE TO 40 TO 50 KTS WHILE TEMPS PLUNGE TO -17 DEG C BY 12 UTC FRIDAY. LAPSE RATES WILL BE STEEPEST DURING THE EVENING HOURS...BUT SNOW TO LIQUID RATIOS SHOULD INCREASE TO 20 TO 1 LATE THURSDAY NIGHT. OVERALL WE BARELY HIT 12 HOUR WINTER STORM CRITERIA OVER THE NRN MTNS AND ACROSS THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS ALONG THE TN LINE OVER THE CENTRAL AND SW MTNS. THEREFORE I WILL UPGRADE THE WINTER STORM WATCH TO A WARNING. THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW ME TO ROLL THE THREAT OF HIGH WINDS AND LOW WIND CHILL VALUES INTO THE WINTER STORM WARNING. ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3500 FEET SHOULD SEE TEMPS DROP TO 5 TO 7 ABOVE BY 12 UTC FRI. WITH THE STRONG WINDS THIS PUTS THESE ELEVATIONS WELL INTO THE WIND CHILL ADVISORY CRITERIA. ALL OF THIS COMBINED WILL MAKE FOR DANGEROUS CONDITIONS OVER THE WARNING AREA...SO I/M NOT TOO CONCERNED EVEN IF WE FALL A LITTLE BELOW WARNING CRITERIA ACCUMULATIONS. FARTHER TO THE EAST...THE UPPER FRENCH BROAD VALLEY AND THE EAST SLOPES OF THE NC BLUE RIDGE LOOK PRIMED FOR A HIGH WIND EVENT. SINCE THESE ZONES WILL GET CONSIDERABLY LESS SNOWFALL...A HIGH WIND WATCH WILL BE ISSUED FOR THESE LOCATIONS. I/M GOING WITH A WATCH AS THIS IS A THIRD PERIOD EVENT AND I/D RATHER NOT PUT A WARNING OUT QUITE THAT FAR. HIGH TEMPERATURES ON FRIDAY WILL RUN AROUND 10 TO 15 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL OVER THE FOOTHILLS AND PIEDMONT AND AROUND 20 DEGREES BELOW NORMAL OVER THE MOUNTAINS. FAIR AND COLD CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE FROM FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY. && Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavarreDon Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 20-1 ratios are quite impressive! The higher elevations should cash rather nicely for this year. There is such a disparity in flow snow accums from N to S in Buncombe & Macon. I wouldn't be surprised to see WWA's for these posted tomorrow. Due to a combo of snow, wind, & temps.

WxJordan Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looks like some of the favored upslope areas could see a quick 3-6 inches of snow. I was looking at some Skew-Ts from near the Tennessee border, and it does appear that there will be a good chance for these areas to see 3-6 inches. Most areas will see 1-3 inches of snow outside of the favored areas. Here is my map.... I would not be shocked for Asheville to see a dusting from this system.

There is such a disparity in flow snow accums from N to S in Buncombe & Macon. I wouldn't be surprised to see WWA's for these posted tomorrow. Due to a combo of snow, wind, & temps. I agree Don. I think with the strong winds and crashing temps there will be some good snow showers passing through that areas. Maybe Asheville can finally pick up and inch of snow. I would not be surprised if they issue some kind of wind chill advisory either for the higher elevations. This cold coming in tomorrow evening is no slouch.

Met1985 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Looks like there could be another upslope snow event for Sunday night into Monday with the arctic front. Ya the 00z looks better for some upslope snows here in the mountains. Looks like we start the day off in the 30s and then drop to single digits by the afternoon. Been a long time since that has happened here. Two really dangerous situations taking place if that verifies. one is tomorrow night through Friday and the other is the system around the 6th. I really think the tomorrow system is going to be very treacherous for drivers. We go from rain to snow and temps plummeting. Also not like we have been very warm recently. Right know sitting at 24 degrees. It not really going to matter about ground temps because we will be dropping into the single digits anyway. Fun time ahead for the mountains.

Met1985 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Notice North GA has a wind chill advisory out. I think it is just a matter of time before we get an advisory or a wind chill watch for us in the mountains. Also I think it is a matter of time before Asheville get a WWA issued for them also.
