Fall/Winter Banter - Football, Basketball, Snowball?
zippity replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Cicadas! Brood XIX, the Great Southern brood will be emerging this spring, most likely in April/May. Last time they emerged was 2011, not long after the April 27 tornado outbreak. We had so many cicadas in our neighborhood that they covered the houses and the sound was deafening. -
4C here in Huntsville/Madison. Roads have been treacherous all week since all our precip came down as sleet, but today the roads are kinda sorta passable (those are meteorological terms, right?). Our precip is forecasted to be rain, with the cold arriving quickly enough freeze the wet streets-wéve got a lot of wet, mushy ice that would be fine except that everything is supposed to freeze. I'm very interested to see to the forecasts/models handle the existing snowpack in TN. precip is currently virga.

January 15th-17th 2024 Arctic Blast/Snow Event
zippity replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
HSV had reports of frozen precip last night; I am just very slightly west and there is nada-no frozen precip or snow. NWS Huntsville expects an uptick however: By daybreak, expect things to get more active as vorticity advection aids in the persistence of lift along a convergence zone spanning from southeastern Arkansas to the Smokey Mountains. Overall, little has changed regarding amounts. Still expect 2-5" snow accumulations over north and western portions of the forecast area, with lesser amounts and perhaps more in the way of sleet or ice (up to 0.15") south and east of the TN River. Great to see TN is doing so well. How is Chattanooga doing? Has any precip moved in? -

I think Winter Storm Watches will hit tomorrow evening from Florence toHuntsville and points northeast to SWVA and points north of there. Thanks. Huntsville NWS is always conservative as we are so often on the very edge of any snowfall, but they did state that there was a 57% chance of snow greater than one inch. That's a pretty optimistic statement for them, imo. -

. Winter Storm watch issued for parts of Mississippi. It's not Tennessee Valley, but imo still pertinent to size and scope of the developing system. -
