Like, it's alright for us on weather message board to throw stuff out, but a news station in a large market is a different story. We get off on this kind of stuff, but we also know it may go poof tomorrow. That said, we're getting snow next week, dangit Well the second thought I had was which one of us on the forum works for channel 4?? lol 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been times I have not been forecasted for wind and I have received large gust. There are also times when the opposite occured. Wind is tough to predict here (as is weather in general) due to the hills, ridges, and general landscape. I have a friend who lives on a hill and it is always breezy. It's like being on the beach. lol Bet he gets some stout gusts tonight and tomorrow, even if I get nada. Better safe than sorry, and I don't think the general public will really notice if it doesn't pan out. Good call. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracking is literally why this forum was created. I hope folks have a blast tracking. That is why many of us worked to form this forum many years ago. We split-off from the southeast forum. I do know that in the past, many have gotten burned tracking at 7+ days. I know I have. We have tracked storms for 5 days only to have it vanish with a couple of days to go. It is worth restating from time to time that things are going to change between now and next Tuesday. One thing this forum has always been known for is keeping a level head. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This possible winter storm is now showing to possibly to begin Sunday afternoon in the western parts of the state. So for them it’s under 6 days!!! lol. What could go wrong!

Matthew70 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 Curious what is the Icon model for? Also do they still use the NBM any? Think it was called National Blend Model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Nasty Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I really have nothing to add to these conversations. I'm basically good for ground reports if it snows or we get severe weather or flooding rains. With that said, I appreciate everyone on here we with the knowledge ya'll share and the great discussions.

This possible winter storm is now showing to possibly to begin Sunday afternoon in the western parts of the state. So for them it’s under 6 days!!! lol. What could go wrong! ALOT! I once saw a winter storm warning(model feedback big time) for South Carolina and North Carolina which called for 2-4 feet. One of my college roommates (hosts a show for ESPN now) lives there. I told him about it. He was fired up. I think they got 2-3" of snow at best. Man, he was HOT!!! I am pretty sure that he is still mad about it. I am always afraid that is he is going to remind me of that on live TV while he does one of his game days. LOL. So now, I generally refrain from winter wx talk with most of my friends. Though, I do have some folks who I talk w/ via text (as in 3 people total). Most of us can speak a language that many don't know(basically wx acronyms). This is pretty much the only place I talk about extended wx forecasts. And it is also why I add multiple caveats at this range. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jed33 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 MRX is talking about how this mountain wave event has the potential to be the strongest in a decade or more! It certainly seems like it is going to be quite a strong event! They don’t use language like that often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 At 126, there is slightly more surface cold and hp over the eastern valley. That could easily be scoured, but worth noting as the run progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 At 138, it looks a hair quicker than 18z and maybe the 540 line is 30 miles further south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 At 144, snow is breaking out over western portions of the area....hp is a bit stronger over the top. Should be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 At 153, the storm is still potent but weaker and much further south w/ stronger hp over the top. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That's how you get a major, forum wide, winter storm. It's snowing in the 10s and low 20s for some of us as it finishes up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 The GFS sticks w/ the anafront idea. No idea if it is right. The run gets more interesting as the front stalls over E TN at 165 w/ snow well into Mississippi and Alabama. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1122 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 That's a "what dreams are made of" kind of snow event. It is frigid, happens during the day, and it snows for 12+ hours for many of us. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vol4Life Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 @John1122is it still the 16th or has it sped up to the 15th? I’m supposed to be flying back home to Knox on the 15th and want to make sure I get home in time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John1122 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I've never seen the Canadian so reluctant to gin up a winter storm when the other models are showing it so consistently. It's normally all about some wild snow and cold events. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carvers Gap Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 This is how suppressed this is getting. The original axis started over the Ohio Valley. Now, I am barely on the northern edge of precip. One more jog south, and I am out. FWIW, the Canadian is still pretty much a nada at lower elevations. Need to see it trend on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
