John1122 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Power going on and off here in the strong winds. Several friends are completely in the dark. It's probably gusted over 50 a few times. Temp keeps rising, now up to 67. May get 70 here before the front passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowless in Carrollton Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I notice that many areas in North AL and Middle TN are in the 70s. Won't it take a while for things to freeze even after it goes below freezing due to how warm it is now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a hard time believing that we don't have major travel problems in the AM. When, exactly, is all this drying supposed to occur?Hopefully, I'm wrong about that but I think the "pavement is too warm" thing quits applying at about 28F.Sent from my SM-G900R7 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't it take a while for things to freeze even after it goes below freezing due to how warm it is now ? Not on elevated surfaces. Plus this was only a short warm up after this area spent around 36 hours below freezing and the ground is wet and therefore not as warm. It will also depend on p-type. Sleet sticks easier and melts more slowly and ZR or snow. The front is now on the Plateau. Temp falls about 10 degrees per hour behind it. Currently Jackson is reporting freezing rain, Tunica Mississippi is reporting snow, Fort Campell is freezing rain. Nashville is down to 42.

John1122 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 67 was my peak, a rain shower popped up and it's backed down to 63 here. The big cold fronts always have that big warm push. It was in the 20s all day Thursday and didn't get above freezing until around 5 pm Friday. Then the next 28 hours saw a 34 degree rise. We'll probably drop 34 in the next 10-12 hours.

John1122 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 I just noticed the 00Z GFS switches Eastern Middle and East Tennessee to very heavy snow tomorrow around midday and drops 1-3 inches over us with some isolated 4 inch areas. Doesn't have much agreement with the higher resolution models though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 NWS just issued a severe T-Storm warning for me, but unless the radar somehow isn't updated there's no way it's even going to rain any more here before the warning expires, let alone storm. Not sure what they were thinking based on what is currently on radar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weathertree4u Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Iced up pretty good here north of town. I am just about a mile or so from the Highland Rim about 400' higher than Nashville, I would imagine that it is iced up good on the Rim. Just a glance out the window, would say that we have close to .10 now if not a little more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 18, 2016 Author Share Posted December 18, 2016 Currently 35 with sleet/rain mixed. I see Crossville is at 31 with snow. Not sure if we can manage much frozen, as the precip edge is getting thin. I've got to go to Knoxville for shopping reasons (yay me) so won't know much about what's going on here for a while unless I get reports from home.

tnweathernut Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 It was interesting to me how KTRI managed to stay in the upper 30's for most of the day. The cold really had a tough time getting in the further east you went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrgjeff Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Downslope into the Great Valley always delays cold. It is so frustrating waiting for snow, but it is a life saver holding off ice in my location. Chattanooga had some good gusts of wind with the front before dawn Sunday. I was somewhat impressed.
