JayCee Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Glad being northwest of those mountains didn't downslope them, lol. Hoping to see the east and northeast TN begin to fill in over the next 1-2 hours. More of an ob, but sunshine has been out here in Erwin TN for the last 30 minutes to an hour. From what I've been reading, it did downslope areas immediately to the northwest of the chain from Middlesboro to Harlan, but further northwest around London, Somerset and Jackson KY, they weren't affected. They have had continuous snow almost all day long. For reference...been reading the comments on this site: http://kyweathercenter.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Strong band moving from SWKY towards NW Tennessee. That could get Clarksville back into the swing of things if it can continue to hold together and pivot their way. Yeah looks like its on Claksville's doorstep now. Looks like its going to merge up with the rest of the precip in middle TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A GRADUAL DECREASE IN THE STRENGTH OF THE BAND IS EXPECTED DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AS THE STRONGER FORCING FOR ASCENT SHIFTS FARTHER EWD/NEWD.

AS THIS LOW CONTINUES TO GRADUALLY MOVE ENEWD ACROSS GA...SURFACE CYCLOGENESIS IS EXPECTED OFF THE SC COAST...RESULTING IN A GRADUAL EWD/NEWD SHIFT OF THE FRONTOGENESIS SUPPORTING THIS BAND. AS A RESULT...THE BAND WILL LIKELY EXPERIENCE A GRADUAL DECREASE IN STRENGTH THIS AFTERNOON...EVENTUALLY DISPERSING OR REFORMING ACROSS AREAS TO THE NE BY THIS EVENING.

ladyjmayo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Finally seeing a handful of snowflakes in Kingston. I was about to give up on seeing any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol4Life Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Not trying to be negative because I want nothing more than for all of us to get hammered with snow, but to me it appears like the ULL is losing strength and becoming a little disorganized based on radar returns. Have you guys noticed this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Finally seeing a handful of snowflakes in Kingston. I was about to give up on seeing any.

crecre9 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hey, new to the forums. We've had about 1" here in Huntsville. The radar has filled in a bit more to the north and west than I was expecting. The snow also started a few hours earlier than expected, around 1300.

JayCee Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Watching big half-dollar sized flakes falling with the rain here. Temp dropped from 37.4 to 36.6F. Flakes are so huge and wet, they "plop" upon hitting the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyjmayo Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Thats good to hear haven't seen any flakes yet here but if you are it won't be long for me. Good Luck Shawn! Yeah, it turned back to more rain than snow now. Roane county may end up being the "bust" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 On RadarScope, I like what the Huntsville radar has cooking for east TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnEastTN Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I'm not very impressive with the deform band now. Breaking up. Some of that appears to be related to Hytop Radar being in clean air and dbz limits being hit I believe. For about the last 3 frames of their radar sweep all echos drop across the entire radar by a few DBZ. They may need it to come out of clean air mode.

dwagner88 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 TDOT has dispatched all 17 plows in Hamilton county. Getting snow now above 1500' HWY 111 is slushy, as is Taft hwy on Signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwagner88 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The heavier returns have arrived and . . . it's moderate rain. Think we might get blanked down here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The heavier returns have arrived and . . . it's moderate rain. Think we might get blanked down here I lived in Cleveland all my childhood and I know Chatt is very frustrating when it comes to loving snow. You guys have done great the last few years and i believe you will not get blanked tonight. I have lived in Knoxville the last 8 years and Chatt. has done better than we have since i have lived here.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Obviously we will see this thing weaken as time goes on, but it also looks like it's going to sit and spin on east TN for awhile and I'm rather optimistic that MRX will be close to correct on this one. Shoot, typically they are very conservative relative to modeling (and often justifiably so). Sure is friggin beautiful right now here, that's for sure. Gonna enjoy it while it lasts.

John1122 Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 The snow is just about to start moving in from the west here instead of the south. This should slowly overtake all the area and then start orienting more from the NW. It should provide at least 6-10 hours of light to moderate snow for all of East Tennessee.
