  1. Moderate snow now. Flipped super quick. We definitely missed some bigger returns as the precip pushed ahead of the front. I think we get an inch or two if this holds. I'll take it for Christmas!
  2. Nothing like tracking snow for Christmas...been great to see everyone posting. I think we will get similar amounts to east Knoxville here. We had to suffer through some great returns with the liquid stuff. But just going to enjoy it. 30-40mph front passage, heavy rain, and snow. Been a great weather day.
  3. Ice and wind driven snow...20-30mph winds. Front crashed in like a freight train. Temps dropped to snow worthy levels in about a 20-25 minute time frame.
  4. TRI crew...looks like the 21z HRRR has bumped our totals. 18z RGEM was excellent as well. Ice and snow being wind driven currently between 20-30mph.
  5. In all seriousness, the interesting thing is that the 12z Euro went up. Will be interesting to see how this all verifies. When the Euro is upping totals right up until the event...not a bad thing most times.
  6. 12kNAM has filled in/upped totals in lower elevations of NE TN. 3k NAM is slightly down. SW VA nice increase on the 12k.
  7. For posterity.... National Weather Service Morristown TN 258 PM EST Thu Dec 24 2020 .SHORT TERM (Tonight and Friday)... Obs and webcams around the Cumberland Plateau and eastern KY are showing that the change to snow is beginning. Radar shows precip is blossoming, likely in response to increasing midlevel frontogenetic forcing. Over the next few hours, cold advection will continue to strengthen across the area and the changeover line will push east, with all precip in our area expected to be snow by 00Z. Snow banding will be possible as negative EPV values will coincide with the strong frontogenesis zone over NE TN and SW VA from 23-02Z. A rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out in that area, and snowfall rates near or above 1 inch per hour will be possible. The dynamic forcing will exit our area by midnight, but we will continue to have very steep lapse rates under the mid/upper level closed low that will keep scattered to numerous snow showers going through the night. As this low slows progresses over the area, the chance of snow showers and flurries will persist into Christmas Day for locations north of I- 40, although additional accumulations will be very light and mainly confined to the mountains. The trend of the most recent model runs has been to reduce snow amounts slightly. This forecast package will follow that trend, with just a slight reduction in snow totals for the TN Valley from the previous forecast. Expecting 1-3 inch amounts in the Advisory area, with 3-5 inches in the lower elevations of the warning area, and 5- 10 inches in the higher elevations. The Warning and Advisory areas will not be changed. Travel conditions tonight continue to look very poor as heavy snowfall rates this evening will reduce visibility, and the very cold temperatures coming in tonight will create an icy layer underneath snow-covered roads. Wind chill values tonight will be dangerously low, in the range of - 5 to -15 F, and the Wind Chill Advisory will be continued.
  8. LOL. Knoxville is only about 2/3 of the way done with that storm. You all might have cracked 3'.
  9. No kidding. 12 hours straight of heavy snow for TYS. LOL...and not even close to being over. One of those times one would like to see past 240.
  10. What is crazy about that map, it is not even close to being done...not even close in NE TN.
  11. Lots of blues, light blues, and dark blues on that Kuchera. That is a run for the ages right there. LOL Wow!!!!
  12. And 240....yup. Let's reel one in from ten days out. LOL.
  13. Long range discussion...but the Euro at 228 says, "Hello." @AMZ8990....waay out there, but that is two straight runs.
  14. Also seeing snow in Birmingham, AL, breaking out as the system swings through. Might be the western solutions are looking decent right now?
  15. Basically, the first line of precip slides past, the lee side forms, and precip builds back quickly. Can see that happening right now to the west and southwest of Knoxville. Fingers crossed modeling is correct!
  16. I like what I am seeing on the radar to the west of Knoxville and to the south. Looks a lot like that 16z run of the HRRR. Precip slides past, lee side forms, precip blossoms to the west.
