calculus1 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 From NWS GSP. Another update: Quote .NEAR TERM /THROUGH SUNDAY/... As of 900 PM: Well, for everyone hoping to see snow across the I-85 corridor from the Gaffney area to Carnesville, GA, you`re happy right now! A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for those areas, including the Greenville and Spartanburg areas, until 4 am tomorrow morning. The 700 mb frontogenesis is quite strong and right in the dendritic growth zone. This is further aided by strong DPVA with an approaching upper trough over the Mid-South. Snow rates are so heavy, that despite warm ground temps, accums are on roads and are adding up fast. The HRRR keeps this band roughly in place thru 06z tonight, but rates should gradually weaken. Given the latest snow reports, some locations from Seneca to Easley to Traveler`s Rest and north may get warning criteria snow of 3"+. Slippery roads will be the main concern overnight, but should improve early Sunday morning, as precip changes back to rain and temps hover around 33-34 degrees. But in the meantime, roads are slippery across the Upstate along and north of I-85! Later tonight, still expect a warm nose to punch in and the frontogeneis will weaken. there may be a lull in precip east of the mountains, while additional precip moves in from the west associated with the approaching upper wave. So no changes to the Winter Storm Warning or other Advisory at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirNelson39 Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Based on reports and on current radar this is shaping up to be an impressive win for the HRRR, it was so consistent with putting heavy snow and decent accumulations up 85 to Hickory and points East. I’ll give it props on this one! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice large flakes. I'm not good at measuring rates, though. It's moderate, I would say. Probably not SN+. Heaviest returns just to my SW, though. We will see what that brings...

wxduncan Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Quote Mesoscale Discussion 0061 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0908 PM CST Sat Feb 06 2021 Areas affected...Southern Appalachians and Vicinity Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 070308Z - 070715Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow, with rates exceeding 1 in/hr, expected this evening over the southern Appalachians, perhaps changing to freezing rain in a few spots after 04z-05z. DISCUSSION...Recent mesoanalysis shows an amplifying mid-level short-wave trough approaching the region, with strong/broad southwesterly deep-layer flow and large-scale ascent occurring ahead of this system. Regional radar shows a broad precipitation shield that continues to expand and overspread the area. As low-levels of the atmosphere continue to saturate, surface temperatures have fallen several degrees in the past few hours, with areas in/near the higher terrain falling below freezing. Consequently, the precipitation type across eastern portions of the Carolinas has switched to snow, with some locations reporting moderate snow. As the amplifying short-wave continues its approach, several more hours of broad ascent and renewed precipitation development is expected. Presently, it appears frozen precipitation types should be confined to the higher terrain regions in proximity to the southern Appalachians. Snowfall rates near 1 in/hr can be expected initially. Forecast soundings indicate very strong low-level warm-air advection (50 kt flow in the 750-700 mb layer) that may result in a period of mixed precipitation. Should this occur, some locations could also experience freezing-rain rates near 0.06 in/3-hr after around 04z-05z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alchemist Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Almost heavy snow here, 32.4˚ about 4 inches on the deck rails...seems that when it gets more moderate the flakes get bigger, but the heaver it gets the smaller the flakes... looks like it is going to do this for the next several hours... might it be March 2009 all over again? we ended up with 12.4" forecast said 1 - 3" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
