Carvers Gap Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Scratch that last post. Precip is more. Problem is warm-nose which I think will be attributed to a lot of this falling during afternoon daylight hours in E TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 12k NAM result is that there is little to snow accumulation east of the mountains. That said, it upped total precip. Problem is most of it is rain in the eastern valley. If it is wrong about p-type, then snow totals will be higher than forecast. If it is right about p-type, not much snow for the eastern valley (top to bottom). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrgjeff Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 As @dwagner88 said we are getting ready for our rainy day in Chattanooga. I doubt any snow later. Initial sleep pellets will be it. Signal and Lookout could get some snow, but I bet less than last time. Knox to TRI axis is a little better relative to the track. Warm valley may be an issue, but I figure snow falls up there later. Regarding 850 Ts it's probably accurate because they do have aircraft. MD drawing even acknowledges the situation with the kink southeast side of the blob. Today is fun for Western and Middle Tennessee, esp Middle. Enjoy the snow! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearman Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 My Radar scope is having problems but it looks like mosture is about to get into west knox at least from looking at the radar out of Nashville MRX is an hour and 45 min old. That is moving fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heavy clouds will move in at the worst time after the sun has already pumped the valley into the 40s. Earlier runs that had less of a warm look never got eastern areas out of the mid/upper 30s. LP is also north. Surging warmth up the west side of the apps. Just not going to work. I've seen this rodeo before. A lot in Eastern NC with clouds rolling in at terrible times lol.

Cloud deck in knox is solid and it looks like virga is already over top of me. It came racing in fast. Most likely just the weenie in me hoping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dsty2001 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 For what it's worth, most forecasts were showing my area to be close to 39 already and it's barely moved above 33 in most spots. Honestly at this point I'm looking at this at a nowcasting situation and saying the models are smoking something good (wishful thinking) lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearman Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 What a tiime for Radar Scope to fail. Nashville is the only one working for me.

codgator Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Temp has dropped from 31 to 28 in the past hour here in Franklin as the heavy snow continues. Hope the moisture field holds together and the storm slows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurricaneguy Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 It's wild seeing all this beautiful snow across the state and knowing that it's going to fizzle out in the Eastern Valley starting in just a few hours. Crazy. It looks like we would get so much at first glance of the map. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowellVolz Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Anyway to go back and look at the 850’s in Nashville like 4 hours ago? I mean… it seems to me 850’s would go up a bit in front of a system and crash as the core gets closer. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shocker0 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 We have a heavy virga storm here West of Crossville currently. It's coming down hard. I measured 1/2" of virga in only 20 minutes. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 The blue dot is my house. This has to be a virga storm because we haven't had anything fall from the sky in Ooltewah.Added channel 9 radar.

TellicoWx Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 As far as my area, can confirm the 850s are rising. Valley areas here are sitting around 32, but the mountains are running 35-36 above 1500-2000' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not until the center passes, but with this being a weak system not alot to work with on the back side..like Jeff said, start as a quick period of sleet maybe, then cold rain is what I'm looking at.
