HKY_WX Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 come on guys, chill. the radar will begin to fill in out west in a few hours and start to pivot n this afternoon. this storm hasn't even started to form yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeGold Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Folks calm down. This system is still in its infant stages! Point is, even if it moves a little more east, the track of the 500 and 850 lows don't change much at all. The upper level energy is way back in Alabama so we have much to go through yet. Once that low comes in later, radar will explode with heavy precip. No changes to any forecast at this time. We have at least 24 hours left! Too early to be cliff jumping. Lol Agree..comma head will take awhile to develop as the system starts to go negative tilt..mid afternoon and beyond-way to early to freak out. After all-it is already snowing!

WNC_TarHeel Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 In the other thread, Phil said that once this low fully transitions, the moisture you see back into LA and MS will become as impressive as what we're seeing here and that it will be our money maker.

That WV loop tells the take. The moisture fetch is awesome looking coming out of the gulf and the northern sw is screaming down to say hello to the southern one, fun times on the way for you guys and those of us just to your East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNC_Fort Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 So are you saying the heavy moisture currently in South Carolina wasn't modeled to be here? I hope you guys are right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Guys like others have said just look at the radar and you can see a lot of moisture is filling back in to our West and the system is still just getting its act together. Lots of snow to come guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 If it doesn't start snowing by noon, I'm jumping. Head first with a double back flip in a pike position with a full twist. I might even throw in a triple sow cow right before I hit. Wind has gone from breezy to ripping here in the last 15 minutes. Don't know if it means anything but Wow! Just had a gust to 37.

triadwx Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 We're all going to cash in. I feel it. Yeah probably, but being the last ones to see the snow sucks, especially considering we missed out on yesterday and Mondays fun up here in Boonetown. This radar is killing me even though I know in the back of my head head that it'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This radar is killing me even though I know in the back of my head head that it'll be fine. I feel ya. I'm down in hendersonville and we cashed in yesterday as well as seeing it decent now. On a side note, the weather channels future cast radar shows it filling in very nicely back in AL, MS and TN over the next few hours if it means anything.

HKY18 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Guys that are freaking out....be patient. The upper lvl energy will phase and precip will explode on radar.
