Maggie Valley Steve Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Clouds are rolling in now and the radar upstream looks interesting with a very strong Westerly flow aloft. Definitely some low topped convective elements heading our way into the evening hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 342 PM EDT Wed Apr 3 2024 NCZ033-048>052-058-040400- Avery-Madison-Yancey-Mitchell-Swain-Haywood-Graham- Including the cities of Ingalls, Banner Elk, Newland, Faust, Mars Hill, Marshall, Walnut, Allenstand, Hot Springs, Luck, Swiss, Burnsville, Celo, Micaville, Ramseytown, Busick, Spruce Pine, Poplar, Alarka, Almond, Bryson City, Luada, Wesser, Waynesville, Waterville, Canton, Cruso, Cove Creek, Robbinsville, and Stecoah 342 PM EDT Wed Apr 3 2024 ...ACCUMULATING SNOW LIKELY AT HIGH ELEVATIONS AND ALONG THE TENNESSEE BORDER... In the wake of a robust cold front, colder air will move into the region this evening and early Thursday. The colder air coupled with fairly moist low-level flow will likely produce snow showers over the higher peaks and ridges and especially along the Tennessee border region. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are possible through Thursday with additional snowfall possible Friday morning. Motorists traveling in these areas should use extra caution. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckethead Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 Currently at 27 with moderate snow. Already over an inch on the ground, and things are looking healthy upstream.Sent from my SM-S908U using Tapatalk 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 By my unscientific and unofficial visual measurement, my place got more than a trace but less than what I would call a dusting overnight. I think that pushes me to or just above the 10” mark for the”season” . Cataloochee slopes are covered, get a good view of them on my way out to the highway. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I had a mixture of rain and snow overnight. Nothing now with a temperature of 36. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 THIS REGIME WILL EVOLVE INTO MORE OF A NW FLOW SCENARIO TONIGHT ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE UPPER TROUGH. SNOW LEVELS HAVE LOWERED TO AROUND 3000 FEET OR SO THIS MORNING, BUT WILL LIFT TO 3500-4000 FEET WITH DIURNAL HEATING LATER TODAY. ACCUMULATING SNOWFALL IS EXPECTED TO BE LIMITED TO AROUND 3500 FEET AND ABOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN NC MTNS, AND MORE LIKE ABOVE 4000' ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF THE AREA. SINCE THIS IS NOT A "TRADITIONAL" NW FLOW EVENT (SMALL UPSLOPE COMPONENT DUE TO WESTERLY LOW LEVEL FLOW), EVEN AREAS THAT WOULD NORMALLY SEE VIRTUALLY CONTINUOUS SNOW IN A TRUE UPSLOPE EVENT WILL SEE "SHOWERY" CONDITIONS IN THE TRUEST SINCE, AND IN FACT, SNOWPACK COULD UNDERGO SOME DEGREE OF MELTING IN BETWEEN BOUTS OF SHOWERS DUE TO MARGINAL TEMPERATURES. THIS MAKES THE SNOWFALL FORECAST AND WHAT TO DO IN TERMS OF WINTER WX HEADLINES A BIT PROBLEMATIC. THE CURRENT FORECAST HAS GENERAL 1-4" AMOUNTS IN THE AFOREMENTIONED HIGH ELEVATION AREAS ALONG THE TN/NC BORDER THROUGH THE END OF THE PERIOD, WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS ON THE HIGH PEAKS AND RIDGE TOPS ALONG THE IMMEDIATE STATE LINE. THIS IS JUST ENOUGH TO WARRANT A WINTER WX ADVISORY FOR AVERY COUNTY, WHILE AN SPS SHOULD SUFFICE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MOUNTAINS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nchighcountrywx Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 ACCUMULATING SNOW EXPECTED ACROSS THE HIGH ELEVATIONS OF THENORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS THROUGH FRIDAY...Intermittent snow showers are expected across the high elevationsof the North Carolina mountains through Friday. By Friday evening,accumulations ranging from a dusting to up to 3 inches are expectedacross much of the area above 3500 feet. Locally higher amounts of6 inches or more are expected on the high peaks and ridge topsalong the Tennessee border. Motorists traveling across the highelevations through Friday should use extra caution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WxKnurd Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Currently in NM but trail camera photos show heavy snow at the house at 11:30 and now the ground covered, hard to tell with infrared but maybe a half inch to an inch. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Had about an inch of snow with moderate snow at 4:30 this morning. It Snowed from Haywood all the way to Asheville this morning. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckethead Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 We had about 1.25" of snow overnight at my house, more like 2-3" more up on the bald 1000' higher. Just enough for some nice photos!The first three are from yesterday afternoon around sunset. The last 3 are this morning. The last picture is some of the deeper snow I found on the lee side of the mountain...probably 10-12" right around where the wind dies off.
