1234snow Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Just pulled into my house and the car thermometer shows 37. Looked at how the 18z NAM HI-RES initialized and SWVA is the only location below 40 degrees in all the surrounding areas (TN, KY, WV, NC, and the rest of VA). Not really sure how the cold air didn’t get scoured out. Cloud cover and residual snow cover probably helped some. Something to keep an eye on for Sunday’s system as well.

I notice time and time again there is a large pocket of cold that gets stuck in the relative area of that hatch marks below. I live in the bottom section of it but is seems that area takes the longest to scour out, or fails to scour frequently. Seems cold gets banked up against the plateau, and winds stay light to calm while areas south and east of that area get stronger winds and WAA. Its always fascinated me to watch this occur year after year. That whole area only made it at best into the upper 40s today while other areas hit 60 plus.

PowellVolz Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 So I’m curious as to why the radar in mid Tennessee looks to be falling apart or rapidly moving to the east? Or is it just me?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShawnEastTN Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Down to 40 now.... Hopefully that 37 degree temp is the magic temp from reports of snow start for other areas. A few degrees to go here, that is if we can keep the moisture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 The snowfall window is supposed to be brief for areas that see snow, but very heavy. It's very heavy here right now. Huge flakes falling. It should change over in the valley between 9-10pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
