John1122 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 See obs in the storm thread, so we need an obs thread. Snow has fallen in various parts of the forum today, especially Western areas. Hopefully the 12z models are at the correct solution and this is a thread and obs archive I'm reading during hot summer days. Currently imby 38 degrees, dp 31.

Carvers Gap Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Going to put this in as a benchmark for later. Over cast and 42. Air feels damp. Folks are hustling to get the last of the leaves up. Storm is almost upon us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1234snow Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Currently 39 with dew point of 27. State of Emergency has been declared for Virginia as well as North Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Currently 36 with a soft breeze straight from the good old West Virginia Alleghenies to the northeast. The skies are solid overcast and as my mawmaw would say are "snowclouds". My high today was a balmy 37 and it's looking like it's only going down from here. I have my porcelain tile ready laid flat on the ground with a bit of dirt added underneath it to make the surface even on the slope of my yard, so measurements should be really accurate. It's all systems go as we got the shovels out and have the cars parked at the bottom of our driveway...We even got the bread and milk. BRING IT ON!

Windspeed Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Edit: Moving this out of the main thread since I just realized we have this storm obs thread going. John, can you get the obs thread stickied? I reached 41° about an hour ago. Now 40° with a light breeze. Expected high was 43° but that's basically static. Though I guess 2° difference does matter when it's all down hill from here. Idk, perhaps it doesn't matter when it will probably be snowing above 32° for most of the AM, hence the heavy ratio. Probably won't get below freezing until after dawn unless the rates are absurd and it drives down the air temperature in the column much faster.

I don't think I can sticky it myself but if anyone can that's fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMZ8990 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Currently 36, dropped from 37 in the past 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted December 8, 2018 Author Share Posted December 8, 2018 850 0 degree line is roughly from Gatlinburg to Farragut and up the west side of the Plateau. All areas N/E of there are still sub 0 at 850. Still running well south of the predicted 850 temps at this hour. Not seem obs from Arkansas lately but their only sub 0 850 areas are in the first tier of counties in North Central Arkansas. Sub 0 925 runs from Cumberland Gap to NW Anderson County and westward along the TN/KY border to about Clarksville. 925 is very chilly in Arkansas. Bubble of 925 warmth is very evident in the eastern Valley as it bumps up into SWVA. 2M temps here were predicted to be 36 and are at 37. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlunderStorm Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Radar skipped the path up the valley to snow here. Still nothing falling and it is currently 34 degrees with the DP at 25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holston_River_Rambler Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Looks like Radar is filling in towards NE TN. May the change over happen quick for y'all and may the snow pile up! Good luck to all up that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holston_River_Rambler Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 according to mesoscale analysis it is coming back south after being 30 miles north or so for the past 4 hours, unless I'm reading the site wrong 925 line still no bueno, but it is slightly shrinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlunderStorm Posted December 9, 2018 Share Posted December 9, 2018 Radar is back to covering me but it's still virga. The relative humidity is at 68%. If anything starts falling now though it looks like it'll be snow with the temperature at 33F. Snow trucks are buzzing by like hornets around a nest.

John1122 Posted December 9, 2018 Author Share Posted December 9, 2018 Mixed lignt snow/sleet/rain in Caryville now. 925 line is south of Campbell and the 850 is well south. So if precip rates pick up I could easily see all snow reaching the surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
