Forecasts always subject to change as fresh hi-res model data come in.  Warm nose is a big deal.  Snow totals here and Hendersonville will need to be reduced

Until the nam runs again. Lol

Most if the southern mtns are like that. Gets old sometimes. 

Yes it does. Lol

Wow, 75” a year is classified as rain forest. You are nearly double that(or 55” above rainforest classification).. astonishing.

 

We average about 90” a year.

I think your area may get a rather remarkable amount of snow unless sleet etc knocks the totals down.  The orographic lift will be intense. Please keep us all updated on what transpires in your vicinity.  Thanks!

Will do. We have over performed with every system this year precipitation wise so I don’t see why this system should be any different. We’re right at 130” of rain for the year.

So you are saying we got a chance

We got a chance. Lol

Just went outside already a slushy coating on the cars. 

Got reports of wet snow and sleet falling across the county.

Temp has dropped to 33 already. Game on soon? WYFF showed mixing here already but I'm not seeing it on the ground yet.

I'm actually in that area right now, came home to take dad out to the woods before the storm hits.

It’s a pretty area to hunt.

Feel like looking at the weather while in a tree stand is a weird way to use time but ih well. Some encouraging runs for us northern guys. Let's see what happens. Time to really start watching the short range models. Todays the day boys.

We used to come up and hunt on Nathan’s creek in Ashe county. 

The Canadian snowman looked good.

I saw them on Facebook 

I don’t think he is giving the escarpment enough love. Lol

Did y’all see Andy woods storm prediction totals for the storm in the main thread? 

Definitely waiting to hear from HT.

The escarpment in general is looking great. I say in terms of inhabited areas (not Mt. Pisgah, or Mitchell), high elevations along the escarpment are going to see a boat load. Highlands, Sapphire, Balsam Grove, Bearwallow Mtn, and obviously going up into the Spruce Pine and Blowing Rock areas.

Don’t forget Lake Toxaway. Lol

Can anyone spot the escarpment?

Yep

When does the euro run next?

One thing I'm concerned about for the upstate storm potential. I've noticed over the years, while CAD is always underdone on the models, an arriving CAD is usually a few hours later than models show. They usually arrive later, but hold out longer.

In the upstate, we are relying on the CAD arriving during precip late Saturday night. If it builds in a few hours later than expected, we will waste all the front side precip to rain. Something to keep an eye on.

I do fully expect the entire upstate to drop in to the upper 20's when the CAD entrenches though, and seemingly we still have quite a bit of precip left to go through Sunday evening. So even without the front end thump it should be significant. (I will say that the coverage of precip is more unpredictable after the initial band goes through, so it's possible we don't get the modelled qpf after Sunday morning). But even if we just get a few tenths it would be bad from an impact stand point with temps in the upper 20's.

Hey Burrell you gonna make the trip up 178 to the in laws place?

NWS GSP update... too low on the ice accumulations, imo.

Looks about right for my location. Hoping for more though. 

That fv3 snowfall map looks awesome 

Thanks great explanation 

I would like to hear hurricanetrackers thoughts on what’s about to happen.

Not to be selfish, but that 20in lollipop is right over Henderson county. I'm STILL hesitant to go all in on this one. 

Southern escarpment should do well

WOW!!
