I saw your post and went to look out I’m easily over 2.5” and it’s dumping. I went into town earlier to get pizza and noticed we were doing significantly better. Still snowing at a good clip here. Hopefully the 4-6 will verify 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baconwfu Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 31.8 at Albemarle (just north of downtown AVL) .5 to .75 inches right now and its coming down at a decent rate. Was pessimistic about temperatures but now that its unambiguously below freezing at the surface we can party 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natbright Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Did y’all see the mesoscale discussion? https://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0061.html Mesoscale Discussion 0061 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0908 PM CST Sat Feb 06 2021 Areas affected...Southern Appalachians and Vicinity Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 070308Z - 070715Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow, with rates exceeding 1 in/hr, expected this evening over the southern Appalachians, perhaps changing to freezing rain in a few spots after 04z-05z. DISCUSSION...Recent mesoanalysis shows an amplifying mid-level short-wave trough approaching the region, with strong/broad southwesterly deep-layer flow and large-scale ascent occurring ahead of this system. Regional radar shows a broad precipitation shield that continues to expand and overspread the area. As low-levels of the atmosphere continue to saturate, surface temperatures have fallen several degrees in the past few hours, with areas in/near the higher terrain falling below freezing. Consequently, the precipitation type across eastern portions of the Carolinas has switched to snow, with some locations reporting moderate snow. As the amplifying short-wave continues its approach, several more hours of broad ascent and renewed precipitation development is expected. Presently, it appears frozen precipitation types should be confined to the higher terrain regions in proximity to the southern Appalachians. Snowfall rates near 1 in/hr can be expected initially. Forecast soundings indicate very strong low-level warm-air advection (50 kt flow in the 750-700 mb layer) that may result in a period of mixed precipitation. Should this occur, some locations could also experience freezing-rain rates near 0.06 in/3-hr after around 04z-05z. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
