Can someone explain what QPF means? I’m just along for the ride here l, don’t have much to offer. Thanks everyone who brings the info!

I’m on the very eastern end of Hawkins Co..actually live in Kingsport and it’s actually fairly clear here cause the moon is showing itself. Partly cloudy..temp is 40. Was 45 about an hour ago.

Picked up probably two inches this morning here in Kingsport.

Sorry...Indian Springs area...east Kingsport.

I am on the west end of Kingsport and we had thunder snow here...one of the hardest times I have seen it snow in a long time.  It thundered and lightning probably 3 or 4 times.  The ground and side roads here were covered in a matter of ten minutes.  Only lasted about fifteen but man if it had lasted at least an hour we would have had an inch or two possibly.

Coming down at a pretty good clip now in Kingsport 

Snow finally reaching ground in Kingsport

Also if you can get mid 20’s DP that should allow 3-6’ degrees for wet bulb

Judging by the radar I'd say probably not but I wasn't expecting it to make it this far so who knows lol

I agree

Going to head out and see if the power trucks are working our neighborhood.

Late posting, but yes we lost power last night for about four hours here in the Kingsport area. Pretty nasty storm!

Local meteorologist here in the tri cities just now said possibility of up to a foot in spots in the tri cities area. Getting snow now on Kingsport.

What a run of the 18z NAM...wow.

Hey Carver I noticed you were in west Sullivan county and that is where I live as well...what’s your predictions on our part of this area?

Euro text shows KTRI with 13.6 inches. That’s based on ratios that are around 8:1 for the majority of the storm and end around 10:1. The actual ratios would probably be a little lower than that, but I don’t have soundings to analyze.  It also has the high temperature for today at 43, so we can see how that verifies this afternoon. 

Could you explain the ratios..let say 8:1, 5:1 or 10:1. What is the meaning between the 3. Thanks

Just had a question as I live here in western Sullivan county and noticed the precipitation shield moving closer and closer but with temps being around 40..is dynamic cooling going to be the factor on this snow and as the precip moves in will cool the atmosphere as precip falls. I’m not weather smart but love following this site. Thanks to all.
