46/27 here. It’s getting cloudy but I can still clearly see the moon and stars.

SouthernWX....

Interesting. Browsing that platform I about lost my mind because it sucked so much. Major step back from AmericanWx as far as user experience is concerned.

Sitting at a bone-chilling 47 degrees .... If you look at those radar returns, and you did not have any models to looks at, you would swear that it was heading our way. Weather systems just don't move like they used to.

What’s the other board everyone keeps referring to? 33andrain or SouthernWX??

@BIG FROSTYtoo but I haven’t seen him post in years

Maybe I won't get ridiculed for posting models that don't show the most snow here? 

You’re good - this is the foothills thread. It’ll always consist of more of us getting screwed than winning BUT when we win, we’re popping the champagne in this thread.

Open for 10 minutes and the "hot" light is already on! You like to see it. 

There comes a time eventually where we score when we shouldn’t 

Yea I love the discussions on the Mtn thread but unfortunately I can no longer relate to living there. 
 

temps plummeting here ahead of the cloud cover. Can we make up ground lost today with the warmth??

Lol. I like all these guys, but at 2200 feet, I am a mountain guy ... without the mountain results lately. I appreciate the invite. I will bounce back and forth. 

No worries man. I was just spitballing locations 

Granite falls here! @bess

We all seemed rather homeless thread wise so let’s crank it up! @wncsnow@The Alchemist@BornAgain13@calculus1@ncjoaquin@mercurydime

Would Saluda fit into that??   Though I like living vicariously through some of the folks up north of Asheville....

Of course! I’ll fire it up shortly

My gosh can someone make a FOOTHILLS thread...

Honestly not the worst idea. We do have a pretty deep crew at this point lol. I know I’m missing a few, but what say ye @wncsnow@calculus1@strongwxnc@westmc9th

I’ve been overly pessimistic of late but idk yall. I’ve got a weird feeling about this one in a good way.

Winds finally shifting from the SW blow torch to the WNW. Replacement Tempest station installed just in time for this event.

Yeah sometime this evening. Trying to get my thoughts together and see what the radar shows. Sometimes I wish I could just enjoy it and just watch the window haha.

Your work is appreciated though man! Always look forward to your updates.

You’re the man. And hey it’s showing a beaut for late week lol

Maybe I’ve been asleep at the wheel but I’ve seen a ton of folks on weather twitter talking about the new AI models. Has anyone seen them? How do I even access them?

It's one run of many. I'm riding the gfs. Euro has been jumpy with both systems this weekend.  In my opinion the gfs has been more consistent.  Call me a weenie.  I'll gladly wear that badge.

The good thing is that the models have already underperformed a bit on precip compared to the current radar. Makes me a bit optimistic that more of wnc can get involved.

I think Tennessee is the population that deserves a 40 degree rain on Memorial Day this year

If the 19th is a miss I am starting the Countdown to Winter 2024-2025 thread.

It’d be fair to do so. We haven’t had a February produce in about a decade

I'd say this is a good run for a large portion of the viewing area. Even an inch or two into Buncombe.

My god. I need like a 10 mile jog south. This must be how the Wake County crowd feels every single year. 

Yikes. Those thermals are going to give some folks in e tn heart palpitations.

Models have backed off for most even the 6Z euro. Looks like a non event for Asheville east 

Downsloping in this setup is going to do exactly what you and I are accustomed to it doing.
