Wonder  how cold it will actually get.Euro showed us getting down to 24 tonight,well that's not going to work out very well,we are sitting at 23 right now

27 in Crossville already too. Another night where they are off by several degrees. Hopefully that trend can continue for a couple days.

GFS rolls east pretty far south then just hits the breaks and shoots north at 40 or 50mph with the low. That floods warmth up the eastern valley and its faster with less precip for the western half of the state. 

It's ridiculous how far apart models are on surface details and tracks 48 hours out.  It never used to be this hard for models to get a track down it seems like. Maybe there are just more models with more solutions these days.

It's liable to be wrong but there's not a more steady model than the UKIE with this. It's exactly the same every run. 

Yeah.  It's been locked in for days.  Right or wrong it's waffled less than about any other model.  Hopefully it's not on crack.

Overnight UKMET:

Woke up to another low temp bust, down to 20 with first precip on the approach from SW.  looks like we got that cooling trend I was looking for up above.  The forecast now calls for up to 6 inches with 7 on the high end.  Don’t think I’ve ever witnessed a storm this large with temps like this.

@Blue MoonWell, I'd wait and see what 12z does. That will have some RAOB data in it. I know some mets make fun of waiting for that data, but apparently it can have an impact, as we saw in the last storm. We even saw yesterday that Mark J from NWS Louisville was favoring the 0/12z suites. 

All that being said, it could be legit. swinging back NW a bit.

Conditions this morning at 8:23 a.m. in southern Lincoln County, 7 miles above Bama: Light ground fog with no freezing of roads or surfaces. 26 degrees, undisturbed ground is frozen, winds ENE at 2-6 mph. Barometer 29.97 inHg and rising just a bit.

My county remains right on the edge of a significant ice storm, but is barely in the minimal effects category right now. Of course, TV is going off like it is the start of WW III. :lol:

The warm line for this event will be just 59 miles from me in Scottsboro, AL, (see my location on map) where only rain is forecast. What we actually get will be a matter of a few degrees temp. If its gonna dump, I'd rather have snow, please. Currently, I expect light icing here overnight to about a quarter inch maximum, then changing over to snow tomorrow morning sometime. Areas of northern Lincoln County could see 3-5 inches but where I am I expect around an inch of slick to be deposited on the ground. We'll see what this afternoon's info brings.

Grabbed the neglected snow shovel off the hook in the shop this morning to put it on the porch, stacked more firewood at the door in case we lose power, brought in some cat food for the feral farm cats so we can feed them off the porch tomorrow instead of at the shop building. The cows will get an extra bale of hay this afternoon, then what else can I do but watch models and hope we get largely missed?

Everybody stay safe. Tomorrow sounds like a good day to work a puzzle by the fire or something.

You won't see this very often. Also as a note, Louisiana has had some areas with over 12 inches of snow already and this beast is headed their way. Crazy that they also got blasted in 2018 with big snows.

This is a good map to point how how DUMB using TV markets as dividing lines is. See the border counties in the circle on my copy? They get lumped in with Huntsville NWS and cut out of TN NWS forecasting. No way things are gonna change there right at the county lines. :lol: I have to deal with this kind of stuff all the time, living in Lincoln County.

For posterity - a wider view.  MJO phase 7(almost 6), long standing -NAO(but quickly rising), very cold NA temps which have plunged into the central US, and cold is banked up against the Plateau.  What a weather map from the front range of the Rockies to the Apps and/or Plateau!!!!
