Tn Valley March 4-6 Storm OBS

[ShawnEastTN]

3 pm, crossing back into Tn...

What P-type you getting now out in Union City?

[Stovepipe]

Just checked with my folks in Paris, still sleet there.

[WestTennWX]

Half hour later, coming home. Sleet still coming down hard......spoke with some co workers up in Paducah, all snow there...expecting a change to snow here soon (hopefully)

[1234snow]

Correlation Coefficient on RadarScope shows the rain/snow line nicely.

[ShawnEastTN]

Thats handy to know and gauge the thickness of the P-type transitions. 

[1234snow]

Just checked with my folks in Paris, still sleet there.

Changeover line still northwest of Paris. Probably will be another 30 minutes to an hour before the snow moves in. Maybe a little bit longer.

[WestTennWX]

What P-type you getting now out in Union City?

Still sleet, heavy....some flakes mixing in right now- temp dropped to 26...wind really picking up. A little concerned about power, got the wood stove fired up and some Woodford Reserve handy. Pretty much everything is closed up tomorrow.

Where do you find this at??

Where do you find this at?? 

 

Go here:  http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/bufkit/data/index.html

 

Zoom in and click on a station, then choose to view the cobb output from the various runs or click "Visualize Data" to see it in chart form (meteogram).  That site, and the meteograms particularly, are my most visited weather site year round.  It's a great quick and dirty way to get a feel for what's going on before digging into maps.  At least for me.

A few LSR's in this screenshot- heavy band now moving into Western Tenn. Starting to changeover to snow here now.

Nice,good luck !!

According to the Wundermap, it is 51 on Signal Mountain right now. Still 70 at my house in East Brainerd. I can actually see Signal from my backyard. Can't be much more than 12 miles away. I realize that some of the difference is due to about 1200' in elevation, but that is still a remarkable temperature gradient.

looks much better now

Yeah I'm amazed that only about 2 hours or so ago I was over 70, and now down to 49, already an impressive temperature fall.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0119
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0727 PM CST WED MAR 04 2015

   AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF ERN AR...NWRN MS...WRN TN...SERN
   MO...WRN KY

   CONCERNING...WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION

   VALID 050127Z - 050730Z

   SUMMARY...WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL CONTINUE ACROSS THE
   MID-SOUTH INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR AREAS OF
   SUBSTANTIAL ICING AND HEAVY SNOW.

   DISCUSSION...MOSAIC RADAR LOOPS CONTINUE TO DEPICT AREAS OF
   PRECIPITATION FROM THE ARKLATEX TO THE OHIO VALLEY...IN ASSOCIATION
   WITH AN EXTENSIVE ZONE OF LOW/MIDLEVEL FRONTOGENESIS PRECEDING
   PHASING MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGHS OVER THE GREAT PLAINS. CONVECTIVE
   PROCESSES OVER THE ARKLATEX -- WHERE CLOUD-TO-GROUND LIGHTNING IS
   ONGOING -- ARE STIMULATING GROWTH OF ADDITIONAL HEAVIER
   PRECIPITATION UPSTREAM. THIS ACTIVITY WILL SPREAD NEWD/ENEWD ACROSS
   THE REGION DURING THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. MEANWHILE...SUBFREEZING
   SFC TEMPERATURES CONTINUE TO UNDERCUT RELATIVELY WARMER AIR ALOFT
   FROM NW TO SE...SUPPORTING A MIX OF PRECIPITATION TYPES.

   A MISSISSIPPI STATE UNIVERSITY SOUNDING TAKEN NEAR THE MEMPHIS
   WEATHER FORECAST OFFICE DURING THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS SAMPLES
   ABOVE-0C TEMPERATURES FROM AROUND 900 MB TO 650 MB...WITH MAXIMUM
   WARM-LAYER TEMPERATURES AROUND 6C. THIS WILL SUPPORT COMPLETE
   MELTING OF DESCENDING HYDROMETEORS FROM PARTS OF SWRN TN INTO NWRN
   MS AND E-CNTRL AR...WHERE FREEZING RAIN WILL BE LIKELY.
   FREEZING-RAIN RATES OF 0.03 TO 0.10 INCH PER HOUR WILL BE
   POSSIBLE...HIGHEST RATES WITH CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED PRECIPITATION.
   SUBSTANTIAL ICING MAY ENSUE.

   A NARROW TRANSITION ZONE TOWARD SLEET AND THEN SNOW WILL OCCUR
   NWWD/NWD ACROSS THE DISCUSSION AREA INTO NERN AR...FAR SERN MO...AND
   WRN KY...WHERE ELEVATED WARM-LAYER TEMPERATURES WILL BE RELATIVELY
   COOLER. SLEET ACCUMULATION RATES OF ONE-TENTH TO ONE-QUARTER INCH
   PER HOUR MAY OCCUR...WITH LOCAL SNOWFALL RATES OF 1.0-1.5 INCHES PER
   HOUR ALSO POSSIBLE. WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY CONTINUE
   INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH A TENDENCY FOR SNOW TO BECOME
   INCREASINGLY PREDOMINANT FROM NW TO SE AS DEEPER COLD AIR
   OVERSPREADS THE REGION.

I'd love to be on Franklin Pike in the morning.

[ShawnEastTN]

Interesting to see heat bubble in action around Nashville.  South of town now hitting 32, but in town looks to still be around 35.  Interesting to watch.

[John1122]

39 here. Cold air is moving over the plateau.

Nice changeover to heavy wet snow, huge flakes here, IMBY around 2 inches so far on top of the sleet and zr.... hoping you guys out east cash in on some of the action! 

[Stovepipe]

The 1z RAP does show the surface freezing line having difficulty punching through the plateau.  It looks to me like it takes about 5 hours to move past it after arriving there.  Earlier it showed a TYS changeover time of 12z, now it's 14z.  The longer it stalls the less precious sleet I get.  Come on RAP, get it together!

That is great news, hope it piles up deep for you!

I don't know about that, already mid to upper 30s on the plateau.  37 Crossville, I think the cold air is already starting to move up an over.  I'm already down to 45, and most of us are around 10 to 15 degrees away from freezing already in the Eastern Valley with still precipitously dropping temps.  I think we hit freezing sooner.

Blowing snow here- approaching 4 inches.....I can see why NWS MEM was mentioning blizzard conditions in their AFD's.....tried to get a good pic, this is the best I could do...will post more in the A.M.

Schools only delaying 2 hours down here. I'm assuming we aren't going to have any problems down here then?
