  1. This is what to watch for later tonight and it is certainly possible if a trowal comes into play. Flakes that size will accumulate super quick. It happened for us in Feb 2020.
  2. I’m remembering an event from January 2013 similar to this. We had a long duration warm rain event followed by a quick closed off low. If I recall correctly, everyone in the valley from West Knox southwards blanked. Knoxville north and east got several inches of heavy wet snow. The warm air bubble was in a very similar spot. Short term models are showing it getting almost up to Knox county now. I’m still hopeful that we get some favorable dynamics for a quick inch or two in the outlying areas and hilltops.
  3. Front hasn’t moved through here yet. Temp is up to 62. I think that would be a record if it actually snows later. Incredibly warm.
  4. I wouldn’t focus too much on small areas being shown with BL issues. The models don’t have enough resolution to accurately predict accumulations during quick hitting heavy events like this. I still believe this will be a quick 1-3 on elevated surfaces even in the lower elevations, with a big thumping for everyone over 1500’ or so.
  5. I can't tell if the issue show on the HRRR in the valley is just temperatures (in which case I believe rates will trump it), or a loss of forcing from the deformation zone. If it's the latter, someone is getting screwed.
  6. Clown maps divided by two is my modus operandi for winter events. That’s still a good snow for most at this rate. Huge bust potential in either direction.
  7. Worth mentioning that dendrite growth is just as important as temperatures. This could be a situation where we get those monster palm diameter clumps of snow falling. Those accumulate quickly even in warmer temps.
  8. Rates are going to be key. I’ve had 3 inches of wet snow accumulate at 34 degrees. It melted from the bottom up, but it made a quick mess of the roads.
  9. Western parts of middle TN have been hit with catastrophic flash flooding this morning. Dual pol estimates max out at over 17” of rain near McEwen TN.
  10. Looking at our area, we have had a couple of minor mud slides in Polk and eastern McMinn counties. Eastern McMinn in particular seems to have been hit pretty hard. I can believe that 10” total from Monroe.
  11. That’s a big miss by the globals on the precip shield. They had it more correct 48 hours ago.
  12. Looks like the GFS was correct with the rain amounts. The precip shield is more displaced to the NW from the LLC than on the other globals. MRX said 025"-0.50" today. Already over 1" and it's pouring down.
  13. I had very little snow and 4-6” of sleet from this one. Best sledding in my entire life. It also took forever to melt.
  14. I got over 4" just last night with the stalled boundary over the area. I really don't need any more from Fred. The Euro is lighter than the GFS (under 2" additional), but ALL of the models blew the heavy rain last night.
  15. I always look forward to the frontal based storms forming in events like this. It makes the end of the tornado risk easy to decipher on radar. We still have a long way to go.
  16. After the Easter EF3 last year, I do. I have one for every family member ready to go.
  17. Nasty hail core heading straight for downtown Nashville.
  18. I smell a large amount of incoming hail damage claims in Nashville. Looks nasty.
  19. 5.25" storm total for me. Biggest rain event since I moved into this house in 2019.
  20. I wonder if they experience higher than normal rates for home insurance. Seems like they are always under the gun.
  21. So far the name of the game with this event has been heavy freaking rain. MRX pulled the trigger for a FFW for the southern valley. It was needed. After our bout of heavy rain yesterday morning, there were bound to be problems with this much convection interacting with a stalled warm front.
  22. Appears to be just NE of Birmingham. It has been stalled in that location for about 3 hours. Hope it stays there.
  23. DP shot up to 59 here around 30 minutes ago, but has now fallen back to 57. Might be a good omen.
