BooneWX Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Ironic to hear forecasters talk about a dry slot ... ya know. Name the last time a system underperformed on QPF in the last two years lol. Haven’t we been 2-3x above climo on precipitation? 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Just huge flakes here. 30 degrees I can only imagine. It’s dropped 3° in the past 15 to 20 minutes Under this heavy band in the county. It’s almost 60% snow a little sleet and a tiny bit of rain mixed in. Flakes are getting bigger. . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strongwxnc Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Hello! Mesoscale Discussion 0015 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0954 PM CST Thu Jan 07 2021 Areas affected...The Blue Ridge of western North Carolina and adjacent portions of the southern Appalachians Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 080354Z - 080700Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow is expected to develop along the North Carolina Blue Ridge into Great Smoky Mountains, at rates up to 1-2 inches per hour by 1-3 AM EST. DISCUSSION...The exit region of an 80-90 kt, cyclonic 500 mb jet streak is in the process of overspreading the southern Appalachians vicinity, with associated forcing for ascent and cooling contributing to steepening mid-level lapse rates. This includes the eastern slopes of the North Carolina Blue Ridge into the Great Smoky Mountains, where low-level warm advection to the east of an approaching mid-level low will contribute to lift during the next few hours. Models suggest that orographic forcing will become maximized across the higher terrain by 06-08Z, when strong upward vertical motion may focus within the favorably cold mid-level temperatures conducive to large dendritic ice crystal growth. Although lower levels near and just above the surface may be initially relatively warm and dry, quick saturation and cooling of this air mass is expected due to evaporation and melting of heavy precipitation. Aided by precipitable water increasing in excess of .5 inches, at least a couple hour period of heavy snow rates on the order of 1-2 inches per hour appears possible. ..Kerr.. 01/08/2021. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
