Not bad at all. Arctic High in Eastern Montana/Dakota's is stronger at 1055ish and we stay all snow throughout the duration including SWNC.

GSP mentioned several things this morning that caught my eye. The Miller A is showing things on the models that is not typical. Freezing rain/sleet is very uncommon for a Miller A. The Forecaster stated the the dividing line appears to the NC/SC border, bit not real comfortable with an exact solution. GFS was what snow while the Euro was all snow. Also mentioned was snow in the Mountains and another snow chance next Saturday for the Mountains. The grids have increased snow chances beginning Tuesday night into Wednesday before tapering off Wednesday night. The guidance likely will continue to struggle the next 24 to 36 hours with their final solutions.

Going to take some time to saturate down with the dry air behind the front tomorrow morning. Hoping for an earlier start overnight Tuesday with snow actually making it to the ground early Wednesday morning.

Kids. I was in my Junior year at Mars Hill in 1979

Nice hit on the Euro. Has my house in the 8 inch + range 5 days out.

The wind today is howling through the Valley. Looking like we may see some gusts exceeding 45 to 50 MPH overnight into tomorrow morning.

Yeah, the grinds have us snowing from overnight Tuesday into Thursdays night. Still a lot of room for changes. And it looks bitter cold later next week as well.

Still 5 days out, but the initial WPC discussion is out. Expect fine tuning for the next several days.

Please pin this thread!

My low was 24. Snow guns have blowing all night at Cataloochee. Looks like it's going to snow after some rain Sunday afternoon and evening. More wintry weather Tuesday afternoon into Thurday as well!

The afternoon update from the Climate Prediction Center is impressive.

My point and click forecast has a low of 21 in the morning. Saturday morning has a chance of freezing rain around daybreak and then heavy rain with thunderstorms. Sunday afternoon has a snow chance and snow for Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday. Time to start paying a little closer attention to next week!

I ended up with 3.67 inches of rain for the event. Jonathan Creek is running well above normal.

We've really dodged a bullet today here in the Valley. It's been fluctuating between light to moderate rain the past couple of hours and still stuck at 33. The ground is really saturated now. Fingers and toes crossed that flooding issues do not become a reality.

33 and rain at the house.

Starting the day at 37.

Down to 36 at the house. Cataloochee is reporting 29 now.

The Mountains are now in the Heavy Rainfall area in the Updated WPC Hazard Outlook.

It's beginning to look like we may have a potential for flooding next week particularly Tuesday through Thursday. Something to keep an eye on.

What a glorious 'false spring' day in the Mountains! I hit 66 today which is the highest temperature since last December. Tomorrow looks even warmer and will be a perfect day for a motorcycle ride!

36 this morning and the ground is wet. It was too warm here last night for snow I believe.

Flurries at the house now.

Just checked the Webcam at Hemphill Bald. Flurries are falling with decent sized flakes.

16 with some clouds moving in. The trajectory seems more W to WNW looking at radar upstream. Maybe we'll see some flurries later this morning.

I had a low of 15 this morning. Looks like we'll get a light upslope snow tomorrow morning and perhaps a wintry mix early Monday morning.
