Looks like it has quite a bit from the weatherbell maps -
January 2026 Short/Medium Range Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Guess it's time to go back to tropical convection and strat observing. SOI dropped today for the first time in a long time. Sometimes you'll see people talk about SOI drops and storms with a lot of precip. across the southern tier of the US, but the current one managed it with a pretty positive Nina like SOI for the past month. Anyway: Split at 10mb: GFS has it too: -

I am very glad I don't live in one of the freezing rain CAD areas of GA or the Carolinas for this one. -

The nice thing is they don't wear out quickly here. I actually bought a snow pusher a couple of days ago for my decks. Maybe I'll get to use it eventually. -

Yeah I was just at the Home Depot and they had a bunch of cheapo plastic shovels marked up to around $30.00 -

NBM 15z. Higher Ice for some (mainly west), lower for others (east) as compared to 12z. -

Euro trended colder at 6z but that’s all I’ve really looked at. -

I would love 43 at this point. I want as little ice accretion as possible. -

Northern plateau areas can see smaller versions. Not good for Scott county TN as well as parts of northern Morgan and Eastern Fentress -

Powell, it's after noon over there. Now that the Greenland stuff is sorted out they're letting it drink a little. -

"Compared to 24 hours ago, it is close to 10 mb weaker from the strongest reading it had in previous runs." -Surely not?? Just what we need, mountain wave with 0.5" of ice accretion! Woot woot! -

If I had to pick a model I liked best right now for MBY, it would be the RGEM. Sleet to a bit of freezing rain, to plain old rain: -

6z Euro, nice and slow: seems to hold on to the cold air a bit longer than it did at 0z -

January 2026 Short/Medium Range Thread
Holston_River_Rambler replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Please note, if you have clicked on a time stamp under my avatar and are seeing this message, you have clicked into the long range thread. For .45" of ice accretion, press 1 To view the NBM total snowfall from two days ago, please press 2 For severe weather please press 0 To view today's 0z Euro's snow for next weekend (24 hour increment), continue scrolling and Mr. Kuchera will be with you shortly TBH it would be peak East TN to get a good snow next weekend after all the drama of this weekend's mess. I have only ONCE in my 42 years of East TN life, ever seen a storm verify from 4-5 days out except 1993. I think we do better when messaging is more like: "after the last miss, we aren't going to worry to much about this one." -

Holston_River_Rambler replied to AMZ8990's topic in Tennessee Valley
Have to admit I'm surprised the GFS went to not even the triple phase at 6z, but a quadruple phase. If the Euro hadn't wavered on that, I would be less surprised. And yeah, I get it that the Euro's surface depiction hasn't wavered much, but I'm talking about the phasing shortwaves. It's not totally clean, but it gets the job done. -

Heck if I know, lol. I pay for these silly subscriptions so might as well use 'em for something and try to learn something new each year. As much a pay sites would like us to think that a subscription to get the highlights of the WeatherAIgoobldygookGPT JMG Buttersworth snow ratio meteogram charts will automatically = snow, it doesn't. Stakes are high on this one for me. This will probably be my biggest model rug pull, so might as well follow it when I can, or at least until the ice turns off my power, lol. -

You can say a lot of things about the Euro, but this is not the greatest consistency: Not necessarily trying to dredge others back up with me from the edge of cliff overlooking the dump fire, but objectively that is not a consistent handling of the shortwave interaction. That last frame is 18z and it is a hell of jump. Could it jump back the other way? Sure. Could it all have the same result in the end? 100% I do not want to be living on a GFS hut when the flood waters are rising, but it is what it is. -
