strongwxnc Posted October 12, 2023 Share Posted October 12, 2023 First taste of snow for me in t-minus 3-4 hours, winter weather advisory for 8-12” in the units my elk tag is for here in Colorado. Seeing the eclipse while chasing elk with some snow in the ground Saturday is going to be wild. Sounds awesome man! . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyefan1 Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 GSP .SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 105 PM Friday...The pattern begins to change sigfnt/ly Sat night as a deepening upper low swings a potent s/w over the FA. An attendant sfc bndry will also cross the area Sat night and bring in a cP airmass change. Winds pick up behind this front and the higher NC mtn elevations will likely see gusts arnd 35-40 mph thru mid- morning Sun. Too early and winds a little too weak for an NPW issuance, but will continue to monitor this scenario over the next couple fcst packages. On Sun, expect the better llvl CAA to kick in and mtn showers associated with a moist wrap around flow will possibly yield periods of high elevation snow or a ran/snow mix with little accums. Cold air becomes entrenched over the region as a broad and deep upper trof begins to transit overhead. So have max temps about 5-8 degrees below normal Sun and around 15 degrees below normal for Mon. Mins will begin around normal Sat night, then drop into the m40s non/mtns and arnd 40 F mtn valleys Sun night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted October 14, 2023 Share Posted October 14, 2023 Things are promising for the first dusting of the year up here!.SHORT TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY/... As of 1250 PM Saturday...A potent ulvl shortwave will push into the wrn NC mtns to begin the period. With modest wrap around moisture taping into the Glakes, expect the upper and lower (mech) forcing to enable -shra thru the evening. By the overnight, colder H85 air moves in and lowers freezing levels to arnd 4Kft. Soundings show saturation limited below h7 with the GFS the deepest among the op models. However, no sounding is showing activated ice crystals, so will anticipate periods of -snsh or possibly -fzdz aft 06z lingering into the afternoon Mon across the high mtn elevations. Not expecting much frozen accum, a couple tenths or so, as llvl moisture wanes sigfnt/ly aft 18z. Mon will be a cooler than normal day as nw/ly llvl CAA continues with highs struggling to reach the l60s non/mtns and l50s mtn valleys. Winds will remain elevated Mon night, however, frost formation is possible across sheltered areas abv the valley floors. Another cooler than normal day on tap Tues, but not as cold as llvl CAA weakens, with highs generally held abt 10 degrees below normal across most areas.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
