Tennessee Valley 2019 Fall Speculation/Forecasting

Starting to creep into the RGEM range. The snow line is basically north of 40 and to the edge western edge of the plateau by 48 hours. Sleeting/freezing rain event in n Miss/ sw Tn per the RGEM at 48. If the timing stays consistent and there is the advertised post-frontal precip the models are playing out, I figure the night time hours will aid Mid and Western areas with sticking possibilities.

Models continue to be in decent agreement overall with the precip
event Monday through Tuesday. A strong cold front will push
through Monday night as a deep mid/upper level trough digs into
the region. Showers will begin moving into western portions of the
area late Monday, then overspread the area Monday night. As the
cold air pushes in, the rain will transition to snow first on the
plateau and higher elevations from west to east, with snow likely
to mix in even in valley locations late Monday night.

The timing of this rain to snow transition is still uncertain, but
some light snow accumulations look likely especially in the higher
terrain areas.  In the valley, surface temperatures may not dip
below freezing in most locations and with the warm ground,
significant snow accumulation looks less likely. Will continue to
mention the light snow accumulations in the HWO primarily higher
elevation areas. Some snow showers and flurries will linger into
Tuesday morning, but models show rapid drying aloft leaving just
some shallow low level moisture lingering, so expect precipitation
to taper off rather quickly.

Morning disco from MRX.  Hopefully the change over is fast, this is a major cold air mass and they mention possible record lows Wednesday morning. My current point forecast is for a low of 28 with a high of 30 on Tuesday with "less than an inch" wording. Which I suspect will probably be correct.

Would it be a bad idea to create a forecast/nowcast/obs topic? A whiff is still very much on the table but...

Fortuna iuvet audentes. 

SREF jumped up for the Great Valley. Likely a good NAMing incoming! 

Edit: Not quite as good a NAMing as I though :(

November to date. 

My house -9

Crossville -8.9

London, KY -9.6

Memphis -9.3

Nashville -7.6

Jackson, Tn -9.8

Huntsville, Al  -8.4

Oak Ridge -6.7

Tazewell -6.1

Chattanooga -6

Tri - 7.1

Knox -7.8

Abingdon, Va -6

Cookeville -8.8

Murfreesboro -10.1 (suspect a data issue as it shows Murfreesboro with a high of only 34 on the 4th, other stations have a high in the upper 50s that day in the mid state.)

Generally the forum area is -6 to -9 for the month to date so far.  It should go down even more with the incoming cold blast. We may finish the first half of the month at -10 or lower.

Thanks for compiling those.  Just an impressively cold start to November.  Unless something crazy happens, even with moderation later in the month (not a given) looks like November will likely finish BN or even well BN.  

@Blue Ridge, with snow predicted on Tuesday...1954 rides again!!!!  Just amazing how close this fall has been to '54.  I joke about it, but it is becoming a bit uncanny.
