You are talking about the lowest elevation reading. look at the temperature at higher elevations.

So it probably doesnt change over at KCLT until sometime around 10PM.

Burger and Strong, If my memory is correct gulf convection only robs moisture upstream if it is negatively tilted or runs west to east across the gulf. This would disrupt moisture flow coming out of the gulf. I'm not sure about positively tilted convection enhancing precip upstream but I could see how it could.

I'm fairly certain if it's positively tilted you get enhanced precip amounts upstream.

If it's not too much to ask (and I hope it's not) after the NAM 0z runs...could someone list soundings or snow/ice amounts for the major cities in the southeast impacted by the storm? I think this is usually done anyway, mostly..right? I'm just trying to see if there's going to be any consistency here from the last few runs.

Thank you!

Yeah I don't know the exact science behind it but I'm guessing a postive tilted convected line moving across the gulf coast would act as an enhancer providing a stronger transport of gulf moisture inland. However, if the line races out ahead of the main s/w it will still rob moisture. It would only enhace precip upsteam if the line moves slowly and with the main L/P moving through.

Here's the website so you can do this yourself for the NAM, GFS and RUC. I know that I have spent too much time trying to disect every sounding, for every model run, for every city close to me, for...well you'll see.

What a run. By 33 hours the vort has opened and in central Mississippi. All of nw GA and northern half of Alabama and southern Tennessee is getting bombed by heavy snow rates. I'm hoping the upper low has really weakend by then, or this will cut furthern west of the Apps. So far its aiming right for the Southern Apps and western Carolinas.

Paper one of my professors worked on with a grad student. Discusses this.

Haven't paid for my membership to AMS yet so just the abstract.

Thanks I was just reading an article very about it... great read and very informative. Here is a link to what I was reading for anyone who is interested
