12/10-11/19 Potential Valley Wide Snow Event.
John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
It snows my column as below freezing from the top down tomorrow evening but says best guess precip type is rain. Confusing.- 486 replies

The NAM just books the precip through. It's ended before the MRX changeover time starts for most of us,- 486 replies

Timing to frozen is similar on the 3k but the heavy snowfall isn't quite so heavy on it. Same narrow band of snow, but 1-3 inches instead of 2-5 inches on the 12k.- 486 replies

Looks like two waves of snow on the NAM, the early one nails Mid Valley area with a snowblitz and give BNA 4 inches of snowfall. Southern Arkansas seems to get the benefit of both waves and close to 8 inches falls there.- 486 replies

The changeover on the NAM is way faster than forecast timing. My area changes to frozen by 2-3 pm on the NAM, but MRX forecast changeover here is 10pm.- 486 replies

Looks like the NAM is going to NAM a lot of us again. Heavy snow streak from Arkansas through Memphis up through Nashville by around 1pm tomorrow.- 486 replies

After looking, the Rockies funnel cold air rapidly down the plains but as it spreads further from the Rockies it slows down. That's why you can see 50 degree temp drops in an hour there. Was reading about a place in Wisconsin that had mid 70s and tornadoes one morning in November, and the rescue efforts for the tornado victims took place in a blizzard.- 486 replies

The cold can rush down the plains and even into West Tennessee pretty fast. But the system to the south will slow it down. I'm honestly not sure if 110mph is fast for an air mass in the plains or not.- 486 replies

I assume it may slow a bit as it makes it's way south but it does look like its moving quickly on that gif.- 486 replies

The 21z 39 hour RAP is pretty healthy for Northern Mississippi and then Plateau, north of 40 and SWVA. Not alot going on middle and west Tennessee on it. Granted, that's at the far edge of it's range to say the least except for the part happening in Mississippi.- 486 replies

John1122 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
MRX posted above, similar to other WFO, model differences are resulting in big differences in precip type and amount that can fall as frozen. MRX must think the Plateau is going to massively hold up the cold. OHX southern Plateau counties are forecast to be at 33 by 5 pm with frozen. 30 miles east MRX has the transition at 2-4 am.- 486 replies

Each model seems to have their day or their bust. Right now the GGEM, RGEM, and GFS are in the same camp. If one were lining up a model hall of fame, those probably wouldn't all be included. That said, the OHX afd does a good job of explaining what each model shows and why their are different possibilities on the table in the area. Not read MRX yet but am about to.- 486 replies

OHX disco is basically, several factors suggest heavy snow possible, several factors suggest less snow possible, we're not sure what is going to happen, so we're going down the middle.- 486 replies

Looks like the RGEM pops a low that works through upstate South Carolina. MRX mentions 1-3 for elevated areas. Unsure in other areas, especially south of 40.- 486 replies

Euro backed off a bit from 12z, maintains generally 1-4 over most of the Valley region with 2.5ish amounts being fairly common.- 486 replies

I would be very confident with this much model agreement before the flaming burns from the last two years. If this was showing up on models along the gulf coast or mid west I'd say take it to the bank from this close in, but our area seems incredibly prone to model busts when snow is involved.- 486 replies

Pivatol weather has it. It runs out to 39 hours at 3z, 9z, 15z and 21z. Only 21 hours otherwise. It looks faster with the transition to frozen. Eyeballing, it's probably 50-75 miles east with the frozen line vs the NAM during the same timeframe.- 486 replies

Lots of sleet on the Canadian. Still manages to put down 2-6 inches of snow over a good portion of the Valley.- 486 replies

Hi-Res GFS was a little larger with snow coverage than the 18z run. Its filled the Nashville heat island from .8 to 2 inches in the last 12 hours of runs. Also expanded the snow more in the Eastern areas south of 40 vs earlier runs.- 486 replies

Saw that Robert (WX South) was feeling pretty confident in a few inches coming down fast in the forum region. Mentioned that most of the accumulation would be on grass/decks etc. But seems confident rain will change to heavy snow from Arkansas/Mississippi into Kentucky and Virgina.- 486 replies

Clown map for it. Using my standard 33 percent reduction, this would still be a nice event for most areas of the valley region.- 486 replies
