Sw NC weather Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Man oh man that was some euro run 6-12” with the 7 day storm and a huge storm setting up for day 11. I’m probably done for looking at models for the next couple days and enjoy watching snow fall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something tells me that may bust. Sent from my SM-G970U using Tapatalk We are going to get better forcing down here but I'd say 6 to 12 plus for you. We are in the prime for this setup.

Phelps Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Are the northern counties not in a good spot for this setup? RNK seems to be talking only a few inches for Beech and the GSP map looks to agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNK seems to be talking only a few inches for Beech and the GSP map looks to agree. I think the forcing and the trajectory is what is driving the outlook. You can even see the best accumulations will be right at Haywood, Swain, and Graham county. Personally I think Haywood is in the best position. Places like Crabtree, Fines Creek, and Max Patch are going to get waxed. Others will get snow but I think the huge totals will be in around this area.

SnoJoe Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Definitely a southern app storm. Much better forcing as the majority of the precip pushes through. Northern mtns will get just tradition flow snow. I'm thinking maybe more like 2 to 4 for a storm total up this way if that. Maybe a little more if some shower training sets up. It'll be be just another nickel or dime type stuff here. Next weekend could be awesome though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarlGrey Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Is there a site you guys use for the really high elevations like 5500+? I was wondering how Grandfather mountain is going to be next weekend. Usually the forecasts are for a general area. Is there a source for individual peaks in NC?
