Yeah they are gonna have a tough time clearing roads up there with how little they have in the way of snow plows etc, not to mention the 1500 or so miles of roads they have to worry about around the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxjagman Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 ational Weather Service Nashville TN 1130 AM CST Mon Feb 15 2021 .UPDATE... FOR MORNING DISCUSSION. && .DISCUSSION... Latest model guidance has trended just a little bit colder for the lowest 3000 ft or so per model soundings, which may lean precip types for the western half to a more sleet/snow mix early on. Latest obs and mping reports coming in showing that sleet is the dominant precip type so far, with freezing rain mixing in. With a deeper near surface cold layer, the probability of sleet will increase, but the slightest adjustment of a shallower cold layer will lean the forecast to more freezing rain. The area that is most vulnerable to changes in the shallow cold air will be a swath of the mid state from Lawrence County up to Sumner, and east from Bedford County up to Pickett. That section of the mid state has the greatest model variability in that cold layer depth... if the cold air is shallower, we will be looking at more freezing rain in that area, and ice amounts will increase. If the cold air is deeper, more sleet will be expected with a possible quicker transition to snow later this afternoon. Did not alter snow and ice amounts much from the previous forecast since the obs trends may help tell the tale early this afternoon. 18Z special BNA sounding will also help assess the depth of the cold air and how well the models are handling it at this time. Other than adjusting wx, temps and pops slightly to line up with latest guidance and obs, no major changes to the forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovepipe Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Looks like pretty much pure snow falling heavily on the Memphis cams. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stovepipe Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 This Memphis cam in particular is fun to watch. Cars are having a hard time getting up this hill. I watched the one in the screeshot slide backwards before giving it another attempt. Now several vehicles are stuck on the side of the road. The wind is blowing hard with huge flakes falling. Wish I could be there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
