We are around 24 hours out for AMZ and our west sider from this starting. Shelby is under snow returns by 8pm CST tomorrow per the HRRR.
It's coming in healthier out west than 18z.
Another 1993 flashback. WVLT met said "don't believe these big totals you're seeing shared on social media of model out puts. No way it is going to happen." Eerily reminiscent of Matt Hinkin's famous statement in 1993 about not believing the 12+ inch totals and blizzard talk being thrown about. He said 6 inches max back then.
For those asking about snow in East Tennessee in March. 2018 had several days of pretty widespread snow. There was generally 1 to 3 in East Tn and up to 3 or 4 inches in SE Kentucky.
I can't believe these extreme runs, even though I know they are very very possible in March storms. Even more likely in March storms as a matter of fact. That gfs run would be dumping 3 inches an hour here.
In his follow up the WVLT met said snow will be falling extremely hard but it won't be able to accumulate until the temperature drops into the mid-20s. Is there a TV meteorology degree where you don't actually study weather but just broadcasting instead?
It's flatter, the other models take it up into NC. The Euro scoots it eastward even though it's very wound up at 999 and falling fast. Those usually turn NE.
Euro rolling in with the monkey wrench. Strong storm but 1/3rd the precip vs all other modeling. Not sure why it's precip field is so much less than everyone else.
The Euro is 1-3 across the middle and west areas and 3-6+ from the Plateau Eastward, north of about Athens or so. It's the fastest out with the system.
