Although the scenario is different from the past storms, as this front is bringing cold air, if we can get it to dig a bit more, we could have some really good snow rates for when the changeover happens. If only we had cold air in front of it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 The snow for The 28th through to the 30th looks like one of the best upslope signals I have seen in several years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good! This is getting boring really fast. Like some have mentioned, this winter has been cold but not necessarily snowy. It's time to up some totals. It's almost February. Just give me a year of normal snowfall and I'll take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoWeatherman Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 Lastest GFS continues to tick up the moisture with our NW flow event. One key feature I see with this is there will be an abundance of 700mb moisture overnight Monday which will only help to increase snow totals. I've seen plenty of good NW events with just 850mb moisture but we have some 700mb to enhance it. Duration doesn't look to long as it should start shortly after sunset Monday and last probably until middle Tuesday. With the QPF amounts indicated I would expect widespread 3-5 inch amounts along the higher terrain near the TN border. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes they wait for the snow to break containment then they include Buncombe in the WWA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 The NAM and GFS continue to advertise a strong signal for this upcoming event. I would not be surprised to see some 3 to 6 inches out of some of these bands if we stay really moist with the upper level moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 12z 3km NAM has a stout stream at the onset late Monday night. Not exactly sure what to call it, a developing clipper, NWF, or a back door cold front? LP off the coast interacts with a 5h vort max that moves over the Apps. I believe that with the strength of the winds above 850mb, a dusting to an inch could be possible all across WNC. Favored NWF areas should do pretty well. Flow orientation looks to be a tad more nnw, so it will be interesting to see how that affects totals.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Wasn't it the 3K NAM that was spitting out these kinds of totals with last weeks event and no one got more than a few flakes? Or am I'm thinking of another model? Maybe the setup is different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel better about this one though since the 3k nam isnt the only one showing a decent event up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yup, it was the one. Hopefully it'll redeem itself with this event. I feel better about this one though since the 3k nam isnt the only one showing a decent event up here. There was some really dry air at 700mb that the 3km NAM began to pick up on about 36 hours out. The WNW flow compared to the NW flow seems to me to suffer from dry air intrusion. Those low dew point aren’t showing up just yet, but it is something to mindful of. There seems to be more lift associated with this compared to the last so the mesoscale dynamics will also be enhanced. Not expecting a blockbuster with this one, but we can’t use what happened with the last flow as precedent for what will occur next. Lots to observe and learn from with this one, should be interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncjoaquin Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks fun for our border counties.

ncjoaquin Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 For Joe and Buckethead: ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM 7 PM MONDAY TO 10 AM EST TUESDAY... * WHAT...Snow expected. Total snow accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected, with localized amounts up to 5 inches along the higher ridge tops. In addition, very windy conditions will develop with northwest winds of 20 to 30 mph, and higher elevation gusts of 40 to 50 mph at times. * WHERE...Avery, Madison, Yancey and Mitchell Counties in the North Carolina Mountains. * WHEN...From 7 PM Monday to 10 AM EST Tuesday. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Slippery roads will likely develop Monday night as temperatures fall through the 20s. Winds may blow around loose objects and isolated power outages are possible early Tuesday. Be prepared for reduced visibilities at times as well as some blowing snow may develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we might squeeze out a 1/2 inch. Never know, just getting in the right place of a good snow shower could get an an inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a low of 22 roads would be slick Tuesday morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yeah pretty much what I was thinking. Should be a good event for most. Cold air, windy with pretty good amounts of snow. This should be very interesting and one of the best upslope events we have seen in awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirNelson39 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Hickory is right on the fringe of the foothills, but I consider myself a tangential member of this thread, as well. I enjoy reading what you guys have to post in here and wanted to share my short video with you. Anyway, I unexpectedly got a drone for Christmas this year, complete with a camera/video setup. It's a Dromida XL 370mm FPV. Today was only my second attempt at flying it, but I wanted to try to get some aerial views in my neighborhood. Not being too experienced, I was afraid to get much higher with it than the treetops, but I got some video footage of the snowfall. I've got a lot to learn about navigating slowly so as to not make my viewers too sick watching it. Anyway, it's no AirNelson production, but have a look, if you'd like. I interspersed a few slo-mo ground shots too, and hang around after the credits to really see my skills... Very cool Calc! Welcome to the drone club! Happy flying!.
