    It's just so tantalizing. All that STJ moisture getting pulled up and thrown at us:

    The wind is really kicking up here on the plateau as a front drops in: You can see it running down I-24 on the velocity loop, and..... that wouldn't be a lightning strike near Frozen head, would it?

    Here is the 500mb reanalysis and MSLP. Sorry it is going so fast, but giphy wouldn't let me adjust the speed once I made it. But the low went from a 1012 to a 971 in 24 hours:

    @PowellVolz a wild storm that formed in the Caribbean and ran up the coast, sadly missing the poor Mid Atlantic folks.

    Others have said it in different forums and subforums, but this mid to late week system is trying to give me some Jan 2018 vibes:

    GFS was pretty close to an interesting solution mid to late week: I don't see much hope that the energy combines far enough west for most of us, but....
  7. Holston_River_Rambler
    And finally, just saw someone bring up the RGEM at southernwx, so I'll throw this out there too: The CMC shows the energy continuing to slide SE after this interaction and the NAM has little to no interaction, but something to watch I guess.

    In other news the overnight Euro shows the possibility of a couple of "waves riding a front" scenarios. GFS doesn't want anything to do with the first one and the CMC doesn't want anything to do with the second one. The pieces of energy on the Euro that cause the wave are pretty small, so not sure ensembles are much help. Just something to watch for. SOI still dropping and negative, at -27 this AM. I like the Euro's RMM this AM. It seems to think we just keep doing what we've been doing and maybe do it all over again. It brings uus right back to where we are now late month, lol. Ye olden BOM does pretty much the same, but at a lower amplitude, then takes us through 1 and 2: North American models still haven't updates from the CPC's source. Convection near Polynesia for the past 2 days looks steady as she goes: Overnight long range ensemble patterns, for interested parties:

    Looks like the temps are rising pretty quickly, so hopefully it won't matter:

    Kind of surprised there isn't any talk on the NWS or media of possible freezing rain over parts of East TN. Maybe the low level warm air will win out.
  11. Holston_River_Rambler
    If we can get thunder and lightning, while there is still old snow on the ground, and rain falling, I think that would be a whole new folklore sign.
  12. Holston_River_Rambler
    We need to try and squeeze out a thunder clap or two over the mts as this heads east tonight: You know, just for fun....

    To follow up on what John said, the 0z GFS was what I call the space invaders pattern. The northern stream and the STJ keep shooting energy at each other like the old video game:

    Big SOI drop overnight:

    Sorry my home brew model is kinda low-res.
  17. Holston_River_Rambler
    That's ideal.

    One option might be that the radar was detecting some virga from a narrow band of high clouds moving in: But, the radar site wasn't too far away and I would think if it were virga, it wouldn't show up so close to the site, indicating that it is at least as low level as the upslope. I really wish those high clouds weren't there so I could see the low level flow on IR imagery. We've seen a band in upslope south of Knoxville before, and the only thing I can think of is that some vagary in the low level flow in the valley reoriented that band towards the ENE

    Interesting little band of snow this morning south of I-40 and east of Knoxville: You can see the normal upslope north and northeast of Knoxville, moving NW to SE. But this little band south of I-40 kind of follows the interstate ENE. You'd think the upslope flow in the low levels would orient everything along the same direction, but apparently this was either at a different level of the atmosphere or something else was going on.
  20. Holston_River_Rambler
    Still a little light snow here in Morgan County.
  21. Holston_River_Rambler
    I probably got another half inch from the last band. Moon peeking through the clouds now.
  22. Holston_River_Rambler
    Using only the most up-to-date, scientific, and careful measurements and analyses, and after peer reviewing it with many peers, I have come to the conclusion that this snowfall is equal to two beers:

    I was just about to post this happy little gif, lol:

    Visibility down to about a quarter mile again here.
