Met1985 Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Another frosty morning. These past few days have been pure gold. Nice cold mornings and warm afternoons. Looks like we get another cool down in a few days. Maybe, maybe a high elevation flake. I still cannot believe the persistent plus NAO that we have been in... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 GFS, ICON, & Euro all seeing a strong upper level low moving through the Southeast and bringing the chance for accumulating snow to WNC. I think that this threat has legs. Think back to April 10th, 2003. These upper level lows can do wild things. I am ready for spring, but one last snow wouldn’t hurt my feelings whatsoever. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 12z Euro just dropped a foot for most in WNC. Not sure how legit it is, haven’t had a chance to analyze the thermals yet.. but this certainly has my attention. . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted March 28, 2019 Author Share Posted March 28, 2019 I was really looking forward to spring, then one of my buddies told me I had to look at april 2nd. So looks like were back for one more round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 12z EPS average snowfall totals increase for WNC. KAVL Up from around 1" to just under 4". Boone avg also up to just under 4" and Franklin 12z EPS shows around 3" on average. 15 members(30%) at KAVL show 6"+. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if this happens for KAVL, then our 2 largest snows on the year will have fallen in Spring (after the vernal equinox) and Fall (before winter solstice). That shows just how fickle our weather is. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlatLander48 Posted March 29, 2019 Author Share Posted March 29, 2019 So, have't looked at the models much but it looks like the 12z GFS and FV3 are way off the coast. is this a new thing? cause thank goodness if it is, I want zilch more snow.

Tyler Penland Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 12z 3km NAM looks gorgeous fellas. Would prefer the LP a little closer to the coast but still throws moisture back our way. Maybe the NW trend will win again. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the NW trend will win again. Yeah precip shield just needs to blossom a bit more, but 500mb low dips under the Apps and goes slightly negative tilt. Any more and it would pull the whole precip shield into WNC. Lots of interesting dynamics with this one, I think it’s going to be a nowcast(cliché). 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
