MotoWeatherman Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 thanks. there have been some decent returns developing overhead, but so far nothing is reaching the ground. should be interesting to see how this goes the next couple of hours. so far its looking pretty healthy edited to add: interesting. just saw that gsp has expanded their wwa into ne ga and the upstate maybe it will hold together and we can get a nice dusting or coating Just remember...whatever I get, you will get double....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCSNOW Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 This is a good radar precip type and verifier. Ive used it in these minor quick hitting events and found it to be the most reliable. Looks like Chattanooga and far NW GA should changeover in the next 1/2/ hour. Hopefully the precip will hold onto its intensity and not fade/shear out anymore for you north GA guys. Good Luck! I have to admit I like Dacula site and need to see if it has a precip type radar. http://hp3.wright-weather.com/cgi-bin2/loopradar.cgi?type=mosaic%2FNC_mosaic-&type2=20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Wet snow at 36 F. Change-over happened in less than three minutes. Estimate getting 1/2 inch of slush - just a guess by looking at the radar. The short-range models have handled this extremely well I might add.

Wild Weather Monger Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Ah jeez, now I've done it. Took a look at area radars. Now it will be hard to sleep even though the models say meh for mby. I'll be watching obs in and Birmingham over the next hour or two. They have some rather healthy returns nearby, and their temp has dropped 7 degrees in to 39 in just over an hour.

dwagner88 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I'm at 34 degrees here with the weather changing by the second outside. One moment it's all snow, then all rain, then mixed. It can't make up its mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vol Man Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Yep...just started in Kingsport a few minutes ago....temp at 37. Wet snow at 36 F. Change-over happened in less than three minutes. Estimate getting 1/2 inch of slush - just a guess by looking at the radar. The short-range models have handled this extremely well I might add.

jrips27 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 39...waiting on the colder air aloft to filter down behind the front...should be pretty soon from what happened in Nrn Alabama.. From what I'm seeing you should be switching over to snow here pretty soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ams30721us Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 From what I'm seeing you should be switching over to snow here pretty soon. Yea I think so also. Temp down to 34-35ish which is about the magic number I think. Hopefully so! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a good FFC loop. The metars change during the loop which is pretty cool. http://www.motoweatherman.com/radar/ffc.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwagner88 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Temp has dropped to 34, but we have diminished to flurries, and it looks like the cold air is chasing out the moisture. Oh well, wasn't a great setup for here anyways: NEXT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carvers Gap Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 34 F. Moderate(to sometimes heavy) snow. Winds are at about 20 mph. Probably one of the most impressive frontal passages I've seen this season - may be the tops. Probably won't get much accumulation based on radar returns. From a weather standpoint, it's been fun to watch. Edit: Radar returns basically show the precip shield vanish to the west. Again, the short-range models have depicted this thing almost perfectly for the TN Valley - RUC and NAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thunderhead Hawkins Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 We have about a half inch of snow on the ground now. Temp down to 30. It has ended. On to the next event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmersonGA Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 38.5 and light rain. The radar is fading like the ruc said it would. If this were early December I would see it through but I have seen enough snow this year to go to sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna stay up to see the 0z GFS and then make my sleep decision at that time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were early December I would see it through but I have seen enough snow this year to go to sleep. my thoughts exactly. 38.5 with a few rain drops, and right on cue to the RUC its disappearing before our eyes if we hadnt had any snow, i might stay up as well. i think its about time to hit the sack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrips27 Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 Im at 38.8 right now with light rain. Still an hour or two of precip left before the cold chases it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be totally happy with that being how the models really showed the QPF decreasing rapidly from west to east in TN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was great is that I was awake to see it...and yes, the snow is a big bonus here considering model trends of the past few days. edit: I'm guessing the weather caption under my avatar has not updated yet..airport is reporting 34 F.

Yep...hope to see some flakes here too BEFORE a normal bed time. Pulled an all nighter with the last storm.

Alas as most of you I am watching the returns just wither away as they leave E TN. Yep... The radar returns are vanishing as they enter NC. Still ended up with a bit of light snow, although no accumulation since it was fairly light and temperatures are above freezing. Overall, pretty much what I was expecting.
