I thought and I could be wrong the HRRR is more widely used now over the RAP. At any rate I think marginal temps for you down your way may prove problematic. The more radiation this evening the better all of us may fare. Right now there’s zero clouds up here and the temp has corresponded by dropping 5 degrees.

Trying to figure out when to get up there I'm thinking 1am tonight. Best and likely heaviest precip should be over early AM Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sw NC weather Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Maybe I’m wrong but I didn’t see the band that’s in East Tn didn’t show up on any model. Maybe means a little more moisture available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoWeatherman Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Ignore the audio as the webcam is located inside so I'm not sure what it's picking up. But you can get a feel for the snow fall. Front_Yard_Drive-082818-082831.mp4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyewall Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Work says otherwise unfortunately. This was the last shot before the pattern goes to crap. Hopefully another opportunity will present itself toward January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 One trend I have seen living here in foothills since about 2000 is snow less winters usually bring about snow less winters and its hard to break the cycle. The winters of 2005-06, 2006-07, and 2007-08 had very little snow as did the winters of 2011-12, 2012-13. Its almost like we alternate 3 year stretches of snowy winters with very little snow. I know there is more that goes into it but it's an interesting trend here over the past 20 years or so. Hopefully we buck that this winter.

WxKnurd Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Finished up walking the dogs and had some sleet start falling, just a passing shower though. Scratch that, still sleeting away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Local Yokel Wx Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 watching the shortwaves with interest. not expecting any change to our previous thoughts, but I'm sitting here in the office in AVL with partly sunny skies overhead, hoping for flurries around midday and maybe a dusting by the time I get home this evening back in Waynesville. WxKnurd, my buddy in Balsam says notta so far, i assume the same for you (10:30am). Y'all should experience some worthy snow showers this afternoon. Cat is putting on a decent show all morning on the webcams. 12720.mp4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
