Temp is down to 34.7. DP, however, is up to 31.8. I think that’s it for me. I can’t wetbulb below 32 anymore.
-
I’m down to 36 with the same conditions. Nothing liquid is falling anymore. Just sleet with the occasional wet flake.
-
I can hear more sleet hitting the windows here. Temp is down to 37, but I’m almost saturated.
-
Yes. And west of southern portions of the plateau. There are no topographical barriers to the west blocking cold air.
-
Not sure how much relevance this has for the valley. Cullman is on the west side of the plateau and has more access to low level cold air than we do.
-
I can now confirm a very light sleet rain mixture.
-
Just checked here, nothing falling yet. Temp is blazing at 39.
-
Not really. I’ve been stalled at 41 for around an hour, and my DP is 28. Unless something magical happens dynamically overhead, rain is coming.
-
The cloud cover seemed to time itself perfectly to maximize the amount of solar heat that could be absorbed here. It’s now fully cloudy and 41. Ready for my 33 degree rain.
-
Was just about to post that the sun is shining brightly again.
-
Same here. Up 6 degrees in the last hour. Now above freezing at 33.1. GFS may have been right. We could hit 50 today at this rate.
-
I have high "fish scale" clouds racing in from the south, but they are thin enough to allow plenty of sunlight through. Temp is climbing quickly. Up to 24 from a low of 17 despite a light NE wind.
-
Bottomed out at 17.1 here but it’s now 17.6. The last GFS I looked at torched us to 48 this afternoon before quickly crashing back to 33 as precip started. I find that very hard to believe. There is zero cloud cover here, so it’s possible I guess if we hold on to full sunshine all day.

Was this winter storm Jonas in 2016? That event featured incredibly strong downsloping. I was working on Polk county at the time. It was 55 and sunny there but 36 and pouring rain in Chattanooga.
-
I don’t feel bad for them after the storm yesterday, but this would be a pretty big bust for western TN. Another maddening near miss here.
-
It would take a very strange scenario to wind up with 3-4" of snow in downtown Chattanooga, and nothing in Polk Co. In fact that might be unheard of.
-
Yeah! What could possibly go wrong with a 12" accumulation gradient cutting the Chattanooga area in half? I bet it's not handling sleet correctly.
-
It could be worse. Trust me.
-
At this point I’m honestly so sick of the glancing blows and near misses, I’m just ready for 70’s and sun.
-
To my untrained eye, it appears that qpf is busting low in west TN and high in middle TN.
-
TDOT cameras in Memphis are crazy. Very low visibility.
-
QPF on the GFS is really high. Nearing 4” here.
-
That’s a little bit ambiguous. Do they mean it will be the longest since the 40’s? Or that 4 days is the longest stretch since the 40’s? The latter would surprise me.
-
I can’t recall ever seeing such a sustained temperature gradient as seen on the 18Z GFS. Comparing CHA to BNA over the next 10 days looks more like a comparison between CHA to CHI in January. We barely even get below freezing, they essentially stay below for 10 days straight with what appears to be 1.50” of ZR and barely any snow.

72 IMBY right now.
