    37 now. Light snow beginning again at Cataloochee. They're reporting 29.

    I've warmed up to 34 now. Snow is flying up at Cataloochee. Hemphill Bald has moderate snow. Nothing at the house currently. Light breeze out of the NE. Heavier returns about to move in. We'll see if it can moisten things up in the Valley.

    If you haven't already done it, download mPING app and submit your reports. It is very valuable for GSP and other NWS offices.

    Light graupel/snow mix at the house. 31

    Light snow at the Top of Cataloochee. They're reporting 27. Look like no warm nose yet. Snowing in Dallas.
  6. Maggie Valley Steve
    Snowing in Chattanooga. 30 here at the house.

    Updated Hazard for the next 7 days and if your hoping for a warmup, the CPC Week 3 and 4 Outlook suggests we stay cold into late February.

    Just finished pumping out and cleaning the outdoor jacuzzi. Filling it back up now while I have this 50 degree weather. At least we'll have 700 gallons of hot fresh water!

    Yes

    12Z GFS QPF totals thru 90 hours.

    Yeah, I know. Duke came in before Helene and upgraded everything on the main line including new poles. Brand new wire and brand new transformers. They been working the right of ways the past Month cutting back tree growth near the lake and the high tension lines coming over the mountains as well as feeder lines.

    I'm wondering how long the electric grid will hold up in Maggie. We're on a buried electric cable from the main line running along Soco Rd. Fingers crossed the qpf is light and we rise above freezing early Sunday. Ugh...

    Ken Graham is doing a great job across social media and cable hitting hard the dangers from ice and what the NWS is doing from a public information and forecasting perspective. Ken is a great manager or 'cat herder' as it's affectionately referred to in the weather service circles. Ken was the Meteorologist in Charge for NWS Slidell, LA during Katrina. He later moved to the NHC as Director and now Director of the NWS.

    The G-IV flew its High Altitude mission this afternoon. I'm looking forward to see what results we see with the 00Z Guidance.

    Warnings will go up tomorrow morning per GSP. Ice Storm Warning or Winter Storm Warning remains to be seen. I've got to say the GFS has led the way with the Storm in various ways.

    I'm getting concerned that once the very cold air settles in, we aren't going really warm up at all next week and then we get another shot at wintry weather next Thursday night/Friday morning with a big time dump of Artic air where temperatures may approach-40 to -50 below normal. What happens this weekend if we can't get above freezing we may well be locked in to icebox for the next 10 to 15 days if not longer. We have a shot at wintry mischief tonight as well.

    For the record...

    This sure is looking like 48 to possibly a near 60 hour event for precipitation for the Mountains. Ugly ugly ugly. There is nothing good about this. Major Winter Storm approaching catastrophic if these trends continue.

    I had a sheet of ice on my asphalt driveway this morning and almost slipped on my backside. Not expected or forecasted. Hunter is right about the short-term guidance. We've been monitoring the Globals for a week now. Attention turns to the shorter range high resolution guidance for more nuanced possibilities.
  20. Maggie Valley Steve
    Glad you folks are monitoring my buddy Jeremy. He is a great Meteorologist and a great guy that updates Twitter regularly when the 53rd is active not only for Hurricanes!
  21. Maggie Valley Steve
    So my buddy Jeremy DeHart posted on Twitter that the sampling of the Baja low will be in the 00Z GFS and ECMWF tonight, but could take a couple of cycles to settle the guidance down. He also stated the the missions tomorrow in the Gulf will offer thermal profiles to better assist guidance going forward.

    How about them appetizers! Not a cloud in the sky and 43.
  23. Maggie Valley Steve
    We're going to get a G-IV high altitude Recon mission tomorrow evening!
  24. Maggie Valley Steve
    Afternoon update Day 4 Outlook for snow.
  25. Maggie Valley Steve
    No new data from RECON until tomorrow.
