    407 AM EST Fri Feb 23 2024

     

    This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for western North Carolina.

     

    .DAY ONE...Today and tonight.

     

    Hazardous weather is not expected at this time.

     

    .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

     

    A fast moving system will bring a quick shot of snow across the high

    elevations of the mountains, especially along the Tennessee border.

    Generally 1-2" will be possible, but the highest elevations above

    4000ft may see 2-4" with a swath of 4-6" possible across the Smokies

    above 5000ft. Any high elevation roads may experience a few slick

    spots.

    I love how nonchalant these outlooks are when snow is only expected to impact the high country. Had a similar outlook a few weeks ago when I was up at Beech and the roads were completely covered with drifting/blowing and zero visibility. Def a few slick spots Lolol! Those conditions would absolutely shut down a major city.

    WB 12Z EPS, centered a day or two before and after February 1 there may be a small window of opportunity with temps near to below normal and a trough in the East.

    I’ll be up at Beech Mountain at that time and hoping 5500 feet of elevation can lead to a miracle in this “shit the blinds” pattern

    Norfolk Airport, over 250 miles+ away, is sustained at 40 MPH gusting to 53 MPH. Impressive wind field and on ground verification. Even Wallops Island, Delaware is sustained at 36 gusting to 51.

    Wallops Island is in Virginia.

    Euro is…different. Low just meanders and weakens off GA coast.

    Somewhat similar to the Canadian but weaker on the Euro. Strong high in New England may prevent a quick escape north.

    Hurricanes are no fun. I spend a lot of time in Pawleys Island SC and anything over a 2 would create tremendous destruction and if the storm was to recurve and hit CT here on top of the hill in Barkhamsted there would most likely be serious destruction and the surge along the LI sound shoreline would probably take years to repair

    Might be getting ahead of yourself here.

    Does this track  a little closer to Jacksonville?

    It jogged east and the models are showing an east jog this morning. Will pass closer to Jax than thought yesterday. 
    Power has been flickering this morning already in Avondale.

    That's a bummer.  I live in Frederick, MD and have had maybe an inch all season from 2 jeep-toppers and a non-accumulating snow shower lol.  This winter has not been friendly to the east coast, in general.

    So I’m from the DC area (grew up  there and lived off and on for 30 years). I’ve also lived in Asheville and am planning on moving to Boone area later this year/early next year. In general, Asheville has a similar snow climo to DC but once you get west and north slightly it improves dramatically. An hour north of Asheville on the Tennessee border some areas average over 90 inches of snow and those areas have at least 30-40 inches on the year. Outside of the northwest flow zone though it’s been pretty awful.

    The good news is it can’t be worse!  Im skeptical how much it will help myself.  But at least then we will know. If we get a modoki Nino and Baltimore gets 7” or something, after the last 7 years also, we know the party’s over and it’s time to just move on.   This is simply the new normal. My guess though is that better is still better. The question is how much better.  But I do think we are still capable of 20”+ seasons. But the bad years will likely continue to be so bad that the decades of Baltimore averaging close to 20” are probably out of reach.  

    Hence why I’m moving to the area to the area around Banner Elk, NC next year. We’ve always loved the area and the climate is far more to my liking.

    Yeah, if it’s trending that way, it’s not even worth a chase to Deep Creek

    Ehh… they’ve been getting a decent upslope event even from the most meager progs and has been trending pretty steady. As warm as it is for the lowlands, as depicted, the highlands will be cold enough for moist, northwest flow.

    12Z EPS is consistent with the model consensus trend away from a SE winter storm threat during 1/13-15. So, the January of 1933 scenario of warm practically all month surrounding an isolated two day cold that included a big RDU January 13th snow is now looking highly unlikely.

    Does it still look like upslope for the mountains in the EPS. I havent been able to check the snow probs.

    With that High pressure you think its going to allow it to all of a sudden head NW that quickly from now vs allow it to head almost due west then begin the NW track after landfall ? 

     

    Every model shifted north significantly at 12z. We’ll see.
