  1. Also worth noting that GSP issued a Winter Storm Watch (2-5", wind gusts to 40 MPH) for Avery, Madison, Mitchell, and Yancey, NC.
  2. Still too early for WWAs. Even if they decide on warning-criteria for the mtns, a watch isn't likely until the overnight/AM at best. We won't see WWA or WSW products until tomorrow PM at best, and possibly not until the mid-evening update or overnight/AM.
  3. If you're taking requests from the peanut gallery... Dandridge Dollop or Dandridge Destroyer both have a nice ring.
  4. The 75 corridor, especially north, has been pretty consistently in the game with each model run. If a stronger, more amplified solution like the NAM presents comes to fruition, you're in a very good spot. Edit to add: I'll echo the caveat @Carvers Gap mentioned - microclimate oddities do apply...
  5. Not to mention, the heat island seems to follow the river through the valley a ways. You double dip on unfortunate circumstances. Yet, seems like we have a few storms a decade in which SWVA and Sullivan are crushed while anything south of the Sullco/Washco border are blanked.
  6. Hi, @bluegrassweather71! Welcome. @Carvers Gap hit the nail on the head. MRX are the kings/queens of hedging, but this is a situation in which it is certainly warranted. Given the high uncertainty, conservatism is warranted.
  7. Nice little shower rotating through right now. Might be enough moisture out there to make sunset interesting tonight.
  8. The best moisture and lift remained concentrated south and west of roughly this line: I’ve seen a few reports from Greene Co. and Washington Co. of 3” or better. Family in lower Unicoi Co. have damn near 4”. Meanwhile, Kingsport and Gray are lucky to have an inch, while friends in NW JC are reporting 1.5”. As odd as it looked, I believe MRX was right to exclude Johnson County from the WSW area.
  9. A solid 2” event IMBY. Main roads are well treated, but side roads are fairly slick. Woke up at 0400 and it was absolutely ripping. Should have gotten outside for a measurement while it was fresh; judging solely on appearance, I’m guessing a bit was lost. Like Holston mentioned above, the grass has that splotchy look already.
  10. From the 9:00 PM AFD update: Further east in the Valley, the system looks to have slightlyover-performed as a few locations have reported 1.0-1.5 inches. You don’t say.
  11. Good stuff! Looks like a nice little pulse rotating through now. PWS per Wunderground shows temps around 35°-36° around the 2500’ elevation mark. Any idea what elevation you are? Keep us updated! .
  12. Yes indeed. Deleted my original post to which you responded because I keep trying to embed my tweet but no luck. Here's the link again for anyone interested: edit: of course now it works lol
  13. FWIW, these are largely riding the easternmost fringe of the Valley.
  14. Good to hear you're safe. Debris on radar says there was 100% a touchdown; question now is the exact path. The debris sig went directly over Ooltewah proper.
