What a monster storm

Confirmed tornado on the ground east of Scottsboro, AL.

Southern part of Maryville

There’s at least 3 inches now on my deck.

Got roughly 1.5 inches so far here in Maryville and it’s still coming down good. The roads look treacherous.

Well that was a bust, in a good way.

Keeping a close eye on this cluster of cells near the TN/AL border. They'll be moving into a pretty favorable kinematic environment.

Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...A severe threat may develop with storms that initiate along a cold front, posing a threat for damaging gusts. A couple instances of severe hail/tornadoes are also possible. DISCUSSION...Storms have struggled to develop within the warm sector environment 50-150 nautical miles ahead of the cold front despite ample diurnal heating and the presence of adequate buoyancy. However, storms have been developing along and immediately behind the cold front over the past hour. An uptick in storm coverage and intensity is possible over the next few hours as the cold front continues to progress eastward. The 500-1500 J/kg MLCAPE, driven by 60-65 F surface dewpoints and steep low-level lapse rates, along with 40+ kts of effective bulk shear suggest that damaging gusts may be the main threat with the more organized multicells/transient supercells that can develop. However, a few surface observations along a CHA to CPF line show some backing of the surface winds. Any storms that can mature amid these back winds may exhibit at least brief bouts of strong low-level rotation, with severe hail and a couple of tornadoes possible.

The sun has been out for a while now here in Maryville.

Looks like another tornadic supercell is hitting the areas just affected by the last one in SC.

I ended up with 6" here in Maryville.

The wind has really picked up

Absolutely ripping where I’m at

Knoxville is in prime position for this band. Looks like the bulk of it will miss north of Maryville

Looks like a nice heavy band about to move in

I’m going to bed now. Got my alarm set for 4:30 am.

WBIR's snowfall map is even more conservative than MRX's

It feels amazing for the Valley to finally be in the bullseye of one of these systems. I'm also happy that it seems that Chattanooga will finally cash in on it. They're long overdue for a good snow.

Latest HRRR is nice

May need blizzard warnings on the plateau with the potential for those 40+ mile per hour winds.

This system is insane. There will be a pretty decent threat for tornadoes farther south in Georgia and Florida.
