Correct Big bust way back I think 80’s was precip was rushing up toward us through so VA and long line of thunderstorms formed west to east across GA and north FL and shut it down the end. I think it was NWS Corey I was talking with as this just fell apart. Down the road seen it half dozen more so not frequent, if they fire up south to north then dampening effect not as great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sign the convection in TN or in the Carolinas / Florida is affecting the radar up north. No doubt heavy precipitation makes its way here.

I’m assuming that will flip us here shortly as well. About 20-25 min from Radford. Lost 2 degrees on the temp. Down to 37 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pazzo83 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 you get an initial drop around sunset of a few degrees and then it just holds steady - i remember plenty of mornings in NYC where we'd be around 30 and literally 20-30 miles west in NJ it would be near 0.

Buddy1987 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Boy that first band was ultra disappointing. Was under bright yellows for easily over 30 minutes and I still have predominantly rain. Makes zero sense with all kinds of sleet and snow reports to my south and west. I hope that’s not a bad omen for peeps further north. Temp went from 39 to 35 however since that band came through. Really am going to need radar to fill in or the backend to over perform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 42.6 down 3 degrees in 3 hours. Radar shows precip overhead but nothing reaching the ground yet. Weather channel's future cast shows rain here until about 7am followed by a short period of snow/mix. Disappointing but a pretty typical outcome here for borderline snow setups.

That I can attest to. Grew up 30 miles due north of NYC. There were nights we’d get 10-15 degrees colder than Manhattan. Didn’t think Baltimore/DC had such a big UHI effect. Much smaller cities.

Returns literally just hit your area. It’ll be precipitating within the hour. Yes, climo says you won’t fair as well as Baltimore, but a decent # of models show some good snow into your area. enjoy.

jayyy Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 My buddy in NW Roanoke is currently reporting SN+. Says there are literal meatballs falling from the sky. Temp was in the mid 40s there today and he said it took mere minutes for the snow to begin sticking to colder surfaces. Overall current OBS look good and the precip shield is both intensifying and coming right at us. I honestly see a Northerly movement to the swath of precip in NC SC and VA more than anything else. Also appears in the final frames of the latest radar loop that the two distinct areas of precip that were in VA/GA/Carolinas versus TN/AL/MS are trying to merge together as the SLP off the shores of GA/SC begins to get its act together. Pressure falls beginning to accelerate off the coast and the low SHOULD take a NNE track from here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 You are right on track. Those that sleep and that get up about 8am should enjoy a nice white surprise! Heavy snow with accumulating, shovelable and plowable snow! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don’t have that type of climo here further up north. Also... this radar is pretty spot on it appears. If you don’t flip to snow within 30 mins, I’d be shocked. You’re literally in a rain bubble. My buddy in Hollins right outside Roanoke city limits is seeing heavy snow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
