    The 18Z GFS yesterday said the rain wouldn't start until mid-afternoon today. I've been discounting it for getting the start time so wrong.

    It won’t take much to cause a lot of problems. The trees are basically sticks in loose mud at this point.

    This is normally when I say that the NAM tends to overdo precip, but that totally contradicts my experience from the weekend snow event.

    Man. This stuff melted incredibly quickly. It’s 99% vaporized already. I can’t ever remember going from bare ground to 4+” back to bare ground so fast.

    BTW we had liquid equivalent at the airport of 0.28” meaning that this snow which fell at 32-33 degrees had a ratio of around 15:1. Any ratio over 10:1 is exceptionally rare here. Had to be the extreme dendrite growth on the flakes pumping up the ratios.

    Peaked at just a hair over 4”. We have some snizzle falling now and it’s compacting it back down to around 3.5”. Already melting out of the trees. Temp went up to 34 as soon as the precip slacked off. What an awesome little event!

    Downstream report for you guys. 4” on my back deck. Had 2” in the last hour but it looks to be tapering off soon. Largest flakes I’ve ever seen in my life. Some were bigger than my palm.

    I just measured 4” on my back deck railing. Ridiculous. 1.5” of that fell in the last half hour.

    Puking monster flakes now. Probably got another inch in the last 20 minutes.

    Moderate snow now. Already have a decent dusting. It is trying to coat my cul de sac. Definitely sticking to the concrete driveway.

    On the TN side of the Georgia state line off Graysville rd.
  12. dwagner88
    Can confirm. Light snow and 30 degrees here. Just started.

    I like the way this sounds. I moved recently and my backyard fence is on the Georgia state line. It’s always interesting to see the difference in forecasts. FFC is far more liberal with wx advisories than MRX.

    Can I cut this one in half? Or maybe thirds? I’ve reached 32 IMBY with broken clouds overhead. I’m not usually a big believer in radiational cooling before a precipitation event, but after 5 years of whiffs I’ll take what I can get.

    Extended range looks horrible. Continual heavy rain events.
  16. dwagner88
    Yes. I would at the minimum cut this in half. We won't get 10:1 anywhere except the highest elevations.

    There was a coating of slush on my back deck this morning. Ground was too warm for any accumulation. It's snowing lightly at work in Cleveland right now.

    4” overnight will pretty much shut Chattanooga down at this point. We already had quite a bit of flooding with the first round mid morning today.

    There is an alarming amount of rain on all of the globals over the next 8 days or so. Double digit totals seem possible for many. I suspect that we could make a run for the wettest month on record if the overall pattern doesn’t change soon.
  20. dwagner88
    Hammering down right now. Over 2” for the day. Looks like plenty more to come.
  21. dwagner88
    MRX is notoriously stingy with Flash Flood Warnings for some reason. I've only been under a handful here my whole life.
  22. dwagner88
    The radar does not look good for Knoxville. The convective cluster in southern middle TN needs to take on a more northerly motion right now. Looks to me like there may be an MCV forming causing the more easterly motion.

    Most of the globals did not have a good handle on the rain this evening even as late as the 12z runs today. GFS had me at around 0.10" by this time. I'm quickly closing in on 1".
  24. dwagner88
    Some parts of Chattanooga had hail accumulation from the strong cell that came through last night.

    I work for TDOT. We had a crew parked on the shoulder of hwy 64 today just to respond quickly to small slides. There were already 2 this morning along parksville lake. One was starting to encroach on the westbound lane. There will be more by the end of the week.
