February/March 2020 Winter's Last Chance Thread
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
I think the HP is being over modeled. The models and especially the GFS roll these big 1045-1050 highs down all the time and they verify at 1035 when they actually arrive. -
Had a few snow showers here this afternoon.

February/March 2020 Winter's Last Chance Thread
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
My snow season lately lasts into April. I've had far more snow in March/April than January the last several years. I used to rarely get through March without a 3+ inch event. Its usually gone 36 hours later though. -
TN valley heavy rain/flooding week of whenever
John1122 replied to janetjanet998's topic in Tennessee Valley
.91 in the bucket since around 3am this morning. MRX has most of the area in the 4-6 inch range by Thursday. Not sure that flash flooding will be an issue but a lot of slow rising water issues will happen at that point. I'm now at 8.17 inches of rain already for the month and had 7.35 last month. So already 8 inches or so above normal for 2020. -

Not anything wintry on the Euro but 5-10 inches of rain basically valley wide over the 10 days. Basically everyone from Murfreesboro east is 300-400 percent above normal for the last 30 days according to the AHPS Precip Analysis maps. If we get to February 19th with 10-15 inches of rain in the bucket for the month, that will be staggering for flooding unless spring turns dry. -

Not a pretty picture on the 18z GFS Mon-Thurs morning. -

Hard to see here but its pouring snow above 1700 feet here. Was mixed when I was in town around 1200 feet, saw the foggy look up the mountain and it was really coming down hard. Saw the GFS showing it but was skeptical. -

John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Probably out of luck on winter for the next 10 or 15 days, but extremely wet conditions are likely to continue. If you blend the GFS/Euro/GGem the entire forum likely sees 4-6+ inches of rain the next 10 days. Norris Lake went up 14 feet from the rain the other day. Another rise like that and roads are underwater again this year. Last year it got to 1030ft and low lying homes in southern Campbell co were basically on islands. -

John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
It virtually always gets cold 10-20 days after phase 7 (seeing that now) and that worked before. But it's probably too late in the year for most areas to wait that long so it not getting in 7 is good at least. -
Southeast Valley Special Obs and Last Min Forecasts.
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Well we've had snow on the ground in northern Miss, Memphis area, Nashville area and now most Eastern areas. Not the best events except the Nooga area thumping this morning but in such a terrible stretch of terrible winters at least it's something. Maybe we can spin something else up before winter ends. Probably not going to see a classic slider or Miller A, but always liable to see smaller scale events that hit parts of the forum area before cold season ends. -

MRX posted about the snow starting at Morristown and mentioned sun angle causing it not to accumulate. -

Southeast Valley Special Obs and Last Min Forecasts.
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
This is a bit too far north but looks like it was the closest run of any model. I posted this yesterday and mentioned how models were busting South and East this year and under modeling the NW precip shields. No globals ever caught on to this really and even the NAM lost it after this run. -

John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Looks fairly robust right along 40 and south. A few rogue flurries here. Looks like the NAM yesterday from 18z may have handled it closest with snow accumulation from Knox to Chattanooga. -
Southeast Valley Special Obs and Last Min Forecasts.
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
According to MRX Chattanooga and other southern valley areas of East Tennessee and NE Alabama should see some big flakes with this one. There's not much better than those half dollar or larger ones smacking down, they accumulate quickly too. With luck the system will be a little bit more vigorous north and west to get more of you guys in the game. -
Who knows if we will even get another event this season, I like to go back in summer and read these threads of any events we have. May the WWA verify for our Southeastern Valley areas, as you guys can barely get a car top whitener the last few years.

That surprised me. Williamsburg got 3 inches. Figured you'd get 2 or 3 as well. -

Couple more from today, this was at 2400ft. It was one of those snow showers all day, long icicles on the eaves kind of days that we don't have often the last few years. The day time high was only 27 degrees. -

I honestly thought precip was moving in early morning down south. -

Any met who mentions sun angle in early February regarding snow potential needs to reexamine climatology for February regarding snowfall in East Tennessee. -
February/March 2020 Winter's Last Chance Thread
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Todays 18z NAM as the precip moves out overnight Sunday. . 2 Yesterdays for the same 24 hour period. The globals have been catching back onto these events later than the meso models and have had struggles with how far west/northwest the snowfall zones are. Middle and West Tennessee did much better yesterday than the globals suggested. The event in upstate SC/Western NC last week was almost happening before the Euro caught up. I think it was 12z the morning of the event before the Euro had the precip far enough NW for it to fall as frozen. -
February/March 2020 Winter's Last Chance Thread
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
Just in the past 24 hours the NAM has expanded the precip shield NW and made it heavier. Yesterday at 18z the 24 hour snowfall was 50 percent of what it is now with virtually nothing reaching East Tennessee. 18z unfolding now has 1-3 from the Plateau eastward. -

Very heavy snow shower rolling through. Visibility down to about 1/2 mile or less. -

Ended up with 2 inches on decks and car tops and about 1.25 on the ground. Looks awesome in the trees.
