phil882 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Folks that were messaging me earlier about TN... notice how the deformation band is really starting to blossom in the Huntsville, Al Radar... this is heading your way! Really interesting to see the nice banded structure in TN too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

max100 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The radar in Atlanta is now taking on a SE to NW component. Where before it was directly SW to NE. http://www.localwireless.com/wap/weather/radar/animated/?sid=1001&state=GA&city=Atlanta&d=540&zc=&submit=Save&showstorms=10&showids=1&r=48.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CherokeeGA Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Just lost power You must be down close to Holly Springs then? There's only one outage shown there with 3200 customers affected, and one other small one north of Cartersville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windyinnc Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ugh! I'm 3 miles north of KGRD (Greenwood, SC) and that deformation band this morning was pure awesomeness. I haven't seen it snow like that since I lived in Iowa. We picked up a quick 5.5" before the darn warm nose decided to ruin our snow party and switch us over to all sleet. Whoever is luckily enough to be under the deformation band and stays all snow during the full or majority duration will feel like it's the first day of Christmas all over again. For my location though it looks like I'm on the boarder of a lot of sleet and I'f we're lucky enough (fingers crossed) we'll avoid the damaging freezing rain...

UNCC49er Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 GSP radar starting to blow up SW of me. Still awaiting the first flakes. We're starting to get some steady flurries in the Highland Creek area. Contemplating whether I want to head to my parents' place in Mooresville or hold down the fort here.

The word "deformation" gets thrown around a lot, and the band this morning was really more WAA induced widespread snowfall. Really when people say the "deformation zone" they refer to the area that is located on the NE side of a 850 or 700 hPa low where air stream "stretches" the flow, causing it to be deformed. Here, its just a broad area of WAA aloft (veering winds) that induces isentropic lift that is going over an area of frontogenesis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
