NavarreDon Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 We do need to watch this. But seems that given the moisture transport mechanism off of the Gulf and Atlantic, perhaps this won't be too big an issue.Been busy at work but MOB is not super worried about it down this way.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlatLander48 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 So...not too get too excited...but that 18z NAM has the low MUCH closer to the coast, get any closer and we've got a chance at a longer duration of heavy precip...This might be worth watching on that aspect. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They always come NW a little. Always. Yea, my gut feeling, and this is 100% only gut based, is that by the midnight runs tonight, we might see some totals that rival what we had a few days ago, unless models do another southerly adjustment, which I don't think is going to happen.

BretWx Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Kind of hard to ignore nearly every model giving most of us over a foot of snow. Many more than that. This is going to be fantastic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NavarreDon Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Guys I’m not one for hyperbole & things are always fluid but, this has all the makings of an amazing event! I hope all of you exceed your expectations and we’re able to reference the December 18 storm for years to come!!! Good luck and I’ll be living vicariously through all of you.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gulf convection always disrupts the transport. I've heard it a hundred times after they say "we dodged the bullet" because of the thunderstorms down south. I'm a long way from the escarpment and that cuts totals here too. You can see the sharp cutoff near the TN line which is only 6 miles from me as the crow flies. I'm thinking maybe 4 to 6 for mby, GFS has me at 5. You foothills guys and girls are going to get crushed. And now for a little color, a link to Rays call map. http://grads.raysweather.com/modelData/event.png 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alchemist Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Cantore is headed to boone!He’s headed in the wrong direction. I’m thinking the jackpot area is Brevard/Hendersonville, really think 18” is a possibility Edit, the clown maps with 27 “ are really pretty to look at, just don’t think they’re that realistic. I’d love to be proven wrong . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be sippin' on some sauce later on this evening so I might take you up on it. Plus, I'm sure my post count goes up significantly by then. You might be right though, but believe it not, my area acts weird when the moisture comes from the south. Seems like it takes forever to saturate. I track virga for hours. But yeah, it usually works out in the end. We'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boone has been pretty consistent all day, within a couple of inches, can't complain with an average of 15 inches through several runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
