Lookout Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 3 minutes ago, SnowDawg said: Not for GA... ☹️ I’m convinced that this area of Northeast Georgia outside of the mountains is one of the hardest places in the country to get snow... Year after year now of watching it snow in every direction at some point, while being lucky to see flurries. As i told someone else earlier, when there is not CAD, it truly is. But chances have gone up for the athens area. Looks like the greatest chance of a screw job will be gainesville up to toccoa. But for athens..and especially east of athens, chances have certainly improved over earlier. It looks like whatever falls after midnight will be snow...a little sooner west of town/later east of town. if the band is solid, we could end up with about a 6 hour period of snow looks to be possible for athens. As i noted earlier, i wouldn't be surprised if there is an area of enhanced precip totals from columbus through the athens area into sc. Best chance for accumulation is from 08z to 12z...fortunately by that time temps should be in the upper 20s. An inch or two is not out of the question at all for athens imo. Of course, take it all with a giant grain of salt. if the band fails to come back together again a little too late or CAA is not quite as fast as expected...totals would be less.

RGEM and hi res NAMs like this area, as does the Q-Vector convergence maps I posted. No way we top out on this one after getting nearly 6 with earlier in the months virga fiasco... but seeing you say that makes me feel all excited and stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 HRRR at the end of its run (take it for what it is) shows the same general area where lee-side enhancement often occurs such as in 2003 and 2013. If this occurs some places in Lincoln, Gaston, Mecklenburg, etc could see 3-6 inches in my opinion and could even be some thunder with elevated instability...

That’s great to hear. I thought things were looking better especially just east of Athens. Honestly only hoping for an inch. I’ve learned not to be greedy around here. And even that would be one of the bigger snows in recent memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRRR has somewhere due south of AVL getting half a foot, too. Roughly between Brevard and Hendersonville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaryWx Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Also can really see the re-formation beginning to pick up in the eastern piedmont there as well on HRRR. Grit may be right, looks like it is expanding in the Pinehurst area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you potentially include Atlanta in the Columbus to Athens potential region or does Atlanta look to be too far west in your opinion?

griteater Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Personally, I'm not as big on the southern escarpment areas in this setup. They crush it with gulf lows and SE 850mb flow. Don't have that this time. Some snow there, but not heavy...just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Out to 24 on the Euro. It's coming in colder at the surface in SC...precip looks fine so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griteater Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Solid precip band again on the Euro. Max precip band shifted south slightly....inline with hi-res trends...looks just fine and dandy for Pinehurst to Raleigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems like most guidance except the gfs has clt with at least 2 inches. Considering the type of storm setup this is, I'll take that. Hope you Raleigh guys get a good thump as I know it's overdue...and we won't have to listen to your whining anymore! jk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tramadoc Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 AKQ mentioned in their revised AFD that WWA will probably be extended into SE VA and extreme NE NC during the next package due to QPF increases on the 12Z runs. That being said, what are the chances for ORF and ECG to see higher than 2" of accums based on current trends? It seems that the main axis of heavy precip is still central NC into central VA.

uncjibble Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 As someone who doesn't know a lot about weather other than what I've learned on this board, could someone that is more knowledgeable explain this set up? I'm interested in learning more about the types of systems we get. It seems like most of the time we have have a low tracking up the coast right after a cold front comes through and that brings us a chance based on the track of the low but that's not the case here. This seems to be more of a cold front with precip following behind it? I thought precip typically comes in advance of a front. I'd like to learn more about the different possible setups for snow around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to learn more about the different possible setups for snow around here.It's basically a clipper system. Its an upper level low moving through with an associated front with possible development of a low off the coast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's quite similar overall, but instead of max precip being from Raleigh into VA, it's Raleigh to Fayetteville/Pinehurst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
