  1. Severe season didn’t even wave as she went by .
  2. I know it ain’t even April and this is kinda like someone calling off winter before January, but severe season in the mid south east of the Mississippi river ain’t looking so great this year. Week 2 and 3 from NIU… yikes .
  3. Oh goodness…. I understand the hesitation, but I’ve never seen models looked that good for a week out. .
  4. Sorry for the ignorance, but is that good or bad if you want snow? .
  5. So I guess I can tell this story now about Matt. (I wasn’t going to tell this out of respect while he was there) My mom was in an assisted living facility between Powell and Halls for a month or so not long ago. The first day she was there I went to eat lunch with her and Matt Hiken was sitting at a table. It took me a little while, but I finally asked the nurse if Matt could have a normal conversation with a person. The next time I went to see my mom I walked in the facility and on the left there’s a nice little sitting area with a fireplace and a big screen TV. There set Matt watching The Weather Channel. This was a day or two before we got that pretty good snow this year so I went over and sat next to him and I asked…. “what do you think about the snow, Matt?” he replied…… “looks like it’s gonna be cold enough, but they are talking like moisture might be an issue”. Anyway, that encounter was something that I’ve been thinking about the last day or so. I didn’t talk to him after that because he seemed to just disappear from the facility. (he was probably in the hospital and we did not know it). He was in a wheelchair, but his mind was pretty sharp It seemed. Makes me wonder if he might have gotten pneumonia or something like that. I wish I had talked to him more because it bothers me that I might have been the last person he talked about the weather with. Life is too short!!! .
  6. I do not remember that even though I was a senior in high school. What did he say about the storm? .
  7. Got a picture of the mountains this afternoon in the Hall of Fame area of downtown. Then I asked ChatGPT to remove the clouds. .
  8. As far as continuous snow, yesterday afternoon was probably the heaviest I have seen in a while. I Had probably 3 to 4 hours of snow falling between moderate to heavy. However, when the CAA started, some of those snow blobs might have only lasted 20 to 30 minutes, but it was white out at times. I feel like in my area, It snow probably 3 to 6 inches but the most I actually had laying on the ground was probably about 3/4 of an inch and that was after dark. Also yesterday I posted the HRRR and said for 4 runs in a roll, it had N Knox Co, S Union Co, SW Granger and into Jeff C getting a localized swath of heaver snow in the valley. Here’s the HRRR and the radar… I cant ever get gifs to load but here’s a radar screen shots during the NW flow… That was some of the heaviest snow I’ve seen all year. .
  9. The HRRR continues to show 3”-5” of snow in a localized area in N Knox Co, Southern Union Co into Granger and Jeff Co that extends into the Mountains. That would be incredible but I doubt it. .
  10. https://x.com/cartervail2/status/2033574175705624777?s=46&t=LVg8BRWCh1zZb6F_t95EVg .
  11. Yes brother… praying for you all. .
  12. I don’t know if you saw my post in a banner where I met Anthony from MRX. We had a little meet and greet with Mike Witcher people and I had some great conversations with Anthony. What reminded me to tell you all this is Carver talking about a radar glitch but it’s from downtown. There is a private radar downtown on top of a building that MRX has access to, but the general public does not. I’ve seen that streamer before during CAA NW flow. Makes me wonder if the cold weather affects that radar or something. .
  13. Can anyone explain what this lake effect type streamer coming from downtown Knoxville? Edit: not sure why the quality is bad .
  14. FYI… I ate lunch with Mike Witcher and Anthony Cavallucc. We had some great conversations and it was really cool. I got to learn a lot of stuff that I didn’t know about the weather and just how everything works at MRX. I’m not sure if this is common knowledge and I haven’t heard this but apparently the WPC is going to take over the forecast duties for all of the local NWS stations. I think he said they already do the 4 to 8 day forecast and MRX does the 1-3 day forecast. .
  15. Look at this hodograph from the NAM for NE Arkansas on Sunday afternoon. .
  16. So sorry. Prayers to your family .
