Standards for warning criteria can and should be based on topography. GSP does this. We would have to almost double our annual seasonal average in Chattanooga to reach warning criteria for MRX. It’s nonsensical.
FFC has expanded their WSW for all northern counties. Once again, the valley is completely enclosed on all sides by winter storm watches. I wish this was a rare occurrence, but it really isn’t.
Is there anything still showing >0.5" for KCHA? I'm trying to determine how they formulated their forecast. Seems like things have ticked upwards down here today.
Yep. I've had a pretty significant ice storm that only affected the extreme southern portion of the metro area. I think it was on Christmas 10-12 year ago.
Like it or not, there is snow in every single square inch of the state on that run. That is incredibly rare. In fact I can't ever remember that happening from a single storm.
Stacking would be important to Valley folks. A more stacked system is less likely to reform off the SC/GA coast.
Edit: I don’t know why I capitalized Valley. I kinda like it. I’m keeping it.
