Buckethead Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Not weather related but I got a feeling most of yall will be interested to know about possibly seeing auroras tomorrow night.https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/news/geomagnetic-storm-watches-9-11-december-2020Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Euro was no dice guys???Euro was practically nothing for everyone. It'll be interesting to see what happens. I've had snow on the ground in my yard for over a week now. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Penland Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Interesting little system on the 18z GFS. Also has a nice gulf low next weekend and a nice NWFS event for Christmas. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 We'll post the GFS this morning for next week, since the euro was nixed yesterday morning. This is through 7 days. Northern mtns score Monday some, then wed into thurs most all mtn locations score. Both ops show 2 waves next week. Trick as always is to get the cold in here. Hopefully the blocking showing up with staying power throughout December has legs. Never know which way the AO/Nao will swing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it pour snow at the golf course pushing five inches get on up the road just a half mile to spruce pine barley anything. The escarpment plays a big role in that area imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s lots of moving pieces, if we can tweak a few little things we’re set for a fun week of tracking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Temps all over the place this morning. Left the house at 5 am and had upper 20’s-30 there, mid-20’s down around Sylva and the Tuckaseegee valley, 38 on 64 at Whiteside Mtn then back to around 30 where I am north of Highlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 The 12z euro sure does paint a messy picture for Monday. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKY1894 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 12z euro is interesting. Gfs is much different, if something like euro occurs I could see this trending better for climo favored areas in western part of NC. Blocking and hp to the north is classic cad setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think we have enough cold air around for a repeat of that one but that would be awesome. I think this could be more Elevation dependent unless the CAD high trends stronger.

Its fascinating to see the differences when I drive to work in the mornings. Often at my house near the Catawba its in the 20s or near 30 and by the time I am halfway up Old Fort mountain it will be 45 and then back down in the 30s in Swannanoa.

Yea I was thinking inversion this morning from the temps I was seeing depending where I was in elevation but the back down to 30 at nearly the same elevation at 4000’ there me for a loop. Our mountains are unique and I love them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Big run on the 18Z GFS for the mtn counties. Trended toward the 12Z euro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fraction away from being a mountain wide snowstorm. 0.5-1” of precip with temps in the mid 30’s. Higher elevations are still able to cash in good this run. Maybe will see a trend to slightly colder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BooneWX Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Models are so frustratingly close to a legit storm for the cad region Tuesday night-Wednesday. Cold Canadian hp funneling air down the apps and a storm signal but alas...it’s too weak and quick moving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Yea the models have went to big time suckage for both systems next week. The first one now more amped and stronger with 1 to 2 inches of rain area wide and the next one too weak and forms too late for any significant wintry weather. And after that it looks like a pattern change to warm. Afraid we may have to wait until January for our first legit winter storm threat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Ridge_Escarpment Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Icon looks like it would be a pretty significant ice storm in the CAD areas for event #2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wncsnow Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 GFS is still no dice for the mid week storm after heavy rain Sunday night/Monday morning. DC gets a nice snow so there's that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC gets a nice snow so there's that! The 117 hour is icy in Nc on the site I use. It definitely was a trend to wintry here in NC. The ensemble members have definitely been hinting at this for a few runs now. Good to see the OP heading that direction. Should be some good members here in about a hour.

wncsnow Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 I think there is a chance for some light freezing rain for the foothills and maybe light snow for the mountains but I'm not seeing a big system, it looks miller b-ish to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
