    Another thing that's pretty unlikely IMO, but has a smidge of ensemble support and occasional OP runs is that as this moisture feeds starts to wind down next weekend, some northern stream energy tries to phase with the last STJ shortwave as it kicks out. 12z CMC from yesterday probably shows the upside: But there are a few of EPS and GEFS members that see it too.
  2. Holston_River_Rambler
    Both GEFS and EPS have around a 3" .qpf mean, most of it falling Wed - this upcoming weekend. I'm kind of ready to wash the brine and scuz snow/ ice off the roads. I wouldn't be surprised though if we have some snow piles in parking lots until the next pattern window after the first week in Feb.

    I thought I was over it, then I saw it falling again. But yeah, usually I like it for 2 days and then am ready to wash it all away and start chasing days 10 GFS storms again.

    Staring to get some pretty good light snow here. Reminiscent of clippers of yore. Somebody may get a good half inch out of this in the lower elevations, if the dendrites align just right.

    I attempted last night. I should be old enough to know better.

    I must have had some sleet mix in at one point too. Thankfully it gave the glaze a little bit of traction. Pretty good swath of precip swinging into north central TN now. Hope it can hold together.
  7. Holston_River_Rambler
    No worries. Just hope I don’t live through that while I’m here.

    No. Still in Kingsport then. I know about that tornado and try not to think about it though lol.
  9. Holston_River_Rambler
    Yeah

    Slicker ‘n’ owl snot up here in Mossy Grove.

    Got some nice pictures of asperitas clouds over Frozen Head: From Oak Ridge: From petros: From Wartburg:

    Meandered my way back to the Oak Ridge Kroger. Light sleet and freezing rain mix.

    Sleet reported by my neighbor.

    Radar scope showing snow and some decent returns over my house. Sadly I am in Hardin Valley right now.

    Honestly I could see this starting as snow and being mostly snow for areas north of 40 if we get decent precip rates. Less forcing and we get freezing drizzle and rain. I feel like back in the ancient times this used to be a pretty common set up with WAA over a snowpack. Typically stated as snow but transitions to ZR pretty quick.

    12z RGEM: 4 run trend of RGEM is less qpf and a tick south:

    That gif is a little jerky, so here is a static image:

    I saw a weather station south of Sparta with a -17. Several -15s on that side of the plateau.
  20. Holston_River_Rambler
    There’s a weather underground station between statesville and auburntown TN already showing -6.

    Looks like the band leeward of me is also producing flurries near the 40/75 split in west Knox county.
  22. Holston_River_Rambler
    Radar even looks like there are a few flurries still over Kingsport.

    Interesting satellite imagery this afternoon. Not quite clear enough to see the snow cut off line yet, but some of the features we have talked about before, especially some leeside convergence I have outlined in magenta the approximate outline of Frozen Head/ Cross mt and High Knob. Outside the Smokies, these are the highest mountains in our area. To the lee side (downwind of the topography) you can see low level wind convergence producing plumes of clouds, what I've pointed black arrows at. They almost look like litt;e funnels on Infrared imagery. Because this is only a 2D image, I can't tell if the spreading out is lift, the mountains blocking the flow, or a combo of the two. Here's a gif so you can see it in motion: Also notice how the Smokies kind of shunt the flow toward lower peaks on either side. Finally, even though eastern areas haven't cleared out yet, here is an absolutely gorgeous mesoscale floater look at the TN Valley:

    Looks like the GFS is sticking to its guns.

    I will say I like the vort pass on the 12z Euro better than 0z:
