Summer-Fall 2024 Weather Disco Med/Long Range
fountainguy97 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
One of my favorite things about tropical systems is the nice cool/dry air that often chases behind them.- 226 replies

Summer-Fall 2024 Weather Disco Med/Long Range
fountainguy97 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
My best winters here so far have been weak/mid Nina's. So honestly I'm not super negative on this winter. The last two have been mostly nothing burgers for the mountains. I haven't taken a peak at winter yet. I feel like the last few winters we haven't gotten the pacific to work with us at all. The last two winters have been mostly -PNA with shots of +pna. And a dominate -PDO for years now.- 226 replies

Summer-Fall 2024 Weather Disco Med/Long Range
fountainguy97 replied to John1122's topic in Tennessee Valley
It's amazing how fast we can go from wet to dry. We had such a wet start to summer here but after a few weeks of no rain and this heat my grass is crispy. My family in East NC are saying crops are not doing well and the corn crop is close to collapse. Don't really see much relief in the next week or two besides isolated storms. Maybe one of these fronts on the GFS will bring some widespread rain.- 226 replies

February 2024 mid/ long range
fountainguy97 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
Yeah I've been tuned out since shortly after the January snow week. Some winters it just wants to snow and every system just works out. Others are like this and we have 3+ systems scoot south and whiff everyone. Tough draw of the cards this winter. Early season bushes/trees have buds here. It was very warm but has been colder recently especially the mornings. Just need a few good days in the low 60s and spring has sprung!- 750 replies

Winter 23-24' Wx Observations Thread
fountainguy97 replied to Carvers Gap's topic in Tennessee Valley
A cool 27 this morning but the song birds are out in full force today around here. Sounds like spring. These days in the 50s are perfection this time of year. I'm not complaining. -
February 2024 mid/ long range
fountainguy97 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
Phew those Carolina boys are flirting with a big event if that NE energy can phase in a few hours faster. euro extended looks fabulous. I'd almost bet on it at this point. We are repeating the December/january pattern but MJO should be better I believe. Just like the January event models were hinting at this pattern change earlier in February and have pushed it back a couple weeks. Classic occurrence for a legit change in the weather for the US as a whole. Look at the book-end storms of this upcoming pattern for potential big hitters into mid-late February.- 750 replies

January Medium-Long Range Discussion
fountainguy97 replied to Holston_River_Rambler's topic in Tennessee Valley
A very cool setup this weekend in regards to backside NW precip. Temps are marginal which stinks but the hrrr and NAM both rotate the decaying low pressure into our region as the coastal takes over. the hrrr is super aggressive with that decaying low spinning over us. Mountains that are cold enough are going to rack up some nice totals I suspect.- 1,263 replies

13.8 here with steady light snow falling. Moderate at times. The DGZ is only a few hundred feet above us at this point so radar is useless in determining precipitation. Pretty amazing event! Totals not particularly heavy but a pretty awesome end to the wintry week. blowing snow really reduces visibility at times here.

Temp 30.7 and falling. Got a glaze and coating of sleet/snow overnight. NW regime kicking into high gear now. Snow and roads are covered instantly.

Huh? That is so conservative for snow. They cut my totals in half.. Only 1-2" for mby with 20+ hrs of NW flow on the way? Feel pretty confident I'm good for 3-4 with this setup. We will see. 33.8 here DP 30.6. This is the coldest 33 I've ever felt I think haha.
