I'm new over here, but was active on Talkweather before it's unfortunate demise. Hopefully here in Central Alabama we will see a little white stuff this weekend. Expand Welcome to the board, Alabama looks to be in a good spot to see significant winter weather. Large area of sleet/zr below the snow. Cold, for once, doesn't seem to be the biggest issue as of this time. Subject to change of course, as with all storms 4 days out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 The CMC is stronger w the first system. It is not so much that the CMC is juicer here w the second system IMO. It is that we get 1-2" w the first system in E TN north of say Sweetater. That is interesting. Also, I would recommend being careful extrapolating snow amounts on LR models if you live near the mountains. The models seem to buffer what would be a sharp gradient due to elevation. Thus, it balloons amounts in the foothills. I live in one of those areas in NE TN. Our forecast totals are too high for almost every storm on LR models. Now, short range models do much better.

Expand Blunder, 1234snow is from Gate City and DanielBoone is from the KY/VA border maybe near Jonesville I think. I am in Kingsport. And yes, this forum does a decent job covering southwest VA.

Expand Does the UKIE have maps between 72 and 96 on the pay sites? Curious, as it's location at 96 is more in line with a storm that tracks across Mobile and maybe South Georgia.

Right now, trend for slp/wave placement are important. I agree. Will see if I can find a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrwolf1972 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Looking at the cmc snow maps on tropical tidbits vrs last 3 runs you can see the heavier snow line working it's way north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 If the CMC continues to trend northward and proves to predict the track pretty well we may be in for a lot more then local residents in our area are expecting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 The precip shield doesn't grow like it had on past runs, but the track itself was further North and West than yesterday. Also a deeper low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 24 hours ago the GFS was a perfect track and the others were a bit far south and east. Today the guidance has move N and W except for the GFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Because it was a little faster and further N and W, the deeper south areas don't have favorable 850s. So it takes snow off the table for many way south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Bob Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Accumulation amounts in the eastern valley are probably overdone on the new Euro too.....Plateau, Smokies and NE TN will at least get some accumulation. Still a long way to go, though, before verification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Still too early to worry about track. Four to five days out it is subject to 150 mile shifts. Cold air is shown in place for our region. Surface high press north is consistent. Focus on the positive or go insane. This is the South, lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
