Northwest Flow snow about to kick off around the area. You can see it building on the Morristown radar.


.

I also like to use the Jackson Ky site for flow events. That radar is directly in the upstream of where our usual trajectory sets up. You can see the moisture flow from Cincinnati all the way to our foothills.

 

Looks pretty healthy at the moment.

Radar looks great! Let's cap off this day with a few more inches. 

It does look great. Much better orientation of the precip than we've had lately if I'm not mistaken. Coming in more form the NW as opposed to the W. Definitely think an inch or two is possible this evening. What did you measure in your area of Boone? Here on 105 we had an average of around 5.25. But as soon as you began getting closer to Vilas it was an extreme cut off in the accumulation.

To be totally honest, I never got a chance to get an exact measurement. Eyeballing it I'd say it was a little over 5 as well!

Rays thoughts for rest of the week...

There's no rest for the weary until Thursday. Snow showers and flurries taper off this morning and we'll have a few breaks in the clouds this afternoon. However, a strong upper disturbance drops south tonight in the fast northwest flow. Snow showers develop this evening and continue into Wednesday afternoon. It will be "squally" at times. Accumulations will be in the 1"-3" range for most, but 3"-5" for primo locations (westward facing slopes above 4000'). Skies clear Wednesday night and Thursday is warmer, though still windy.

Several fudars showing the chance some more snow for mtns later this afternoon and into tomorrow morning...anyone else seeing that too?

From Ray's Weather Center:

...A potent upper level disturbance drops south tonight bringing another round of northwest flow snow showers beginning this evening. This will be one of the better northwest flow events of the winter with snow squalls and snow bands at times. When that happens there's always some winners and losers. The winners will be the higher, westward facing slopes nearest the TN border where 3"-5" will fall. Aside from any wildcard snow bands, the rest of us pick up 1"-3" before it ends Wednesday afternoon.... 

 

Storm totals here were about 2.5 including the flow last night. Low last night was 18.7 and has only warmed to 21.8 wind a stiff breeze. Maybe we can pick up a few inches tonight into tomorrow.

Yeah it looks like there will be bits and pieces of energy coming in starting with the northern mountain but then the central mountains get a significant push of energy tonight into tomorrow morning that should bring some decent totals for the area. Good luck fellas. 

Good to hear from ya man!

March boundary layer likes to hold more moisture. Get some really cold air aloft, and the heavy snow showers go. Already started in West Virginia and East Kentucky. Cellular look on VIS is exactly what one likes to see. Night and morning snow showers will almost feel like the West.
