Met1985 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Moisture banking up against the mountains this early is a good sign. Lots of forcing with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick 2-3 hours of decent snow along the TN line (and some areas east of there) and then more shallow moisture flow stuff until mid Tuesday AM. I've been wondering about that as well, as it continues to weaken/vanish; would be nice if said 'band' did begin to re-strengthen as it closes in on the mountains! There's a decent amount of (mostly light) precipitation across the Ohio Valley/Upper Tennessee Valley, I'm interested to see how much can actually make it over the Apps. 11 minutes ago, Met1985 said: the radar has really lit up the past few frames. Definitely! Just before 5:30 Swain county, especially, really just exploded with light returns, which have also spread, albeit more scattered into Haywood and Graham. Lets hope as the energy nears the area this continues to be the trend and the snow showers are able to break containment into the valleys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I know the banding will enhance as it moves in, but I want that band that's just east of Richmond to come more SE and I'll be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 And have you guys looked mid to long term on the GFS and CMC? they have different outcomes, but both are very interesting, especially the GFS at the middle of february... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 looks like a band is trying to grow between Kingsport and JC according to Blacksburg radar, that could be worth watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoJoe Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Spltting a little here. A lot returns on radar for so little making it to the ground. Must be some dry air still around. Barely below freezing as well (30.2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect NWFS from probably midnight til mid morning after the "band" moves through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BooneWX Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 The moisture entering Watauga county looks great. We've had off and on light-moderate snow in boone with a dusting to show for it. Hopefully the band produces! Can anyone near Beech confirm how heavy the precipitation is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
