Buckethead Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Watch out for tonight. It could be interesting around the southern mountains. That energy coming down from the midwest looks impressive.Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cold air aloft Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 22 minutes ago, Met1985 said: Yes it does. Could be a surprise tonight. Looking at the current radar returns in central Missouri, the trough is definitely not completely void moisture. From the Kansas City NWS forecast discussion this morning: National Weather Service Kansas City/Pleasant Hill MO 500 AM CST Mon Jan 20 2020 .Discussion... Issued at 336 AM CST MON JAN 20 2020 Interesting weather set up for Monday, which begins with a surface high centered roughly over the eastern Dakotas. With the center of the ridge situated well off to the north, cold air will continue to filter into the region for the next day or so. This would normally keep the weather pretty fair, but currently over central Minnesota a shortwave trough is currently diving southward into Iowa and eventually will move over the forecast area. Now, moisture within the column will be difficult to find, but this trough may provide just enough lift and the air mass may just be cool enough to condense the limited moisture into precipitation in the late morning to late afternoon hours. Maybe we can pick up a little something tonight into tomorrow morning with the frigid air in place. I'm grateful for whatever we can get this Winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hoping for maybe a few showers near Hendersonville tonight. Completely starved so far this Winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Penland Posted January 20, 2020 Author Share Posted January 20, 2020 0z EPS had quite a few more members with snow for Boone this weekend. GFS seems to be gradually heading in the right direction as well. Could be the first decent storm if things work out just right. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Checking back to the west on mPING. Looks promising for the southern mountains tonight. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BhamParker Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hey guys, its been awhile since I have been on here, but I am from Alabama and will be making a trip with the family to the mountains in Gatlinburg in hopes of some nice snow from the weekend system. Our cabin is 2900 feet up off ski mountain road and we will be arriving early Saturday morning and driving back on Monday. We did this a couple years ago and Carvers Gap and a few of you other folks that are used to dealing with events in the mountains were a big help. I look forward to tracking this weekends storm and hope we can score on a nice NW flow event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 HRRR with some nice upslope for the SW mountains early tomorrow morning. I am thinking Highlands could see 2-3” from this. This flow could also bring a dusting to an inch to the Asheville area tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Well, today has been a great winter day. Had a high today of 9.1° about an hour ago, and it has snowed all day. I dont think the orientation of the flow tonight is going to do much for me, but I already picked up just over 1.75". I am not complaining. Hope you folks down around the highlands get something this evening. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw a few flurries today at the intersection of I-40 and I-26, but that's the extent of my my winter weather observations so far for this winter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always nice to see some flurries at the epicenter of malfunction junction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
