  1. Daytime, temps above 32, warmer ground, and spotty nature of snowfall doesn't bode well for much accumulation throughout the day. Hopefully we have plenty of moisture tonight! 37 and rain here currently.
  2. Hard for me to get onboard with the hrrr being so dry. I feel like this one may slip through our hands even for NW areas. Of course the tip top peaks will score but hrrr keeps most areas with a dusting at best.
  3. Wind picking up here slowly. hrrr is extremely unimpressed for Unicoi county. Barely gives me a dusting.. it's not the best on qpf outside 12hrs or so. But it's got me very conservative this afternoon.
  4. Models holding steady this morning. For my back yard NAM and HRRR both advertise an extreme cutoff with about an inch for me. Hoping to squeeze that out!
  5. RGEM follows suite with a cutoff trough just like NAM.
  6. Let's keep this trend going. The more neutral and cutoff we can get the more moisture we will have to work with.
  7. Wow NAM even better at 500mb. This is a doozy. man closed off ULL at hr 51. This thing is cranking big time on NAM. Going to be some big totals.
  8. Figured we can keep the main topic clean and talk about the weekend here. 18Z NAM tilted our trough much more neutral vs positive which is really helping to stack up significant qpf across the NW prone regions. Every tick more neutral will add to totals quietly. Even a good bit of moisture up to 700mb now. RGEM is on board as well. High mountains should see 6+ easily in a setup like this. Should see some thunder as well with temps in the upper 60s, DPs in the upper 50s, and Cape into the 500 range. Exciting weekend ahead!
  9. 12z NAM family looks great. 24-36hrs of NWSF. Some streamers across the valley too.
  10. Very true lol. NAM was stacking it on and had several hours to go. Maybe we squeeze out something noteworthy this weekend.
  11. While not prolific by any means the 18z NAM is a good sign for this weekend. Plenty of backside moisture up to 700mb thanks to the large UL trough pivoting through. Should be a good 24hr window for NW flow.
  12. Long range NAM is almost always too dry. In my experience at least. It used to be too wet but they over corrected it the other way.
  13. Models have really taken a step back tonight. Oh well. Looks like a minor NW event. This has been a rough one so far. Hoping we can atleast get one decent event before spring.
  14. Doesn't turn negative in time but much better euro run. Northern energy becomes the dominant piece like cmc.
  15. Euro with a lot more energy with our northern stream. Let's see where it goes
  16. For those of you who have not been tracking this weekends storm. The EPS/GEFS have had some hints of this but the CMC is the first global to confirm this solution. The Northern stream energy has been trending stronger and slower over the top of our bowling ball. This has allowed that piece to rotate around the trough and become the main player over the Eastern seaboard. We would like to see this trend continue a bit more so our storm goes negative tilt sooner and can throw more precip back our way.
  17. There was a LOT of noise on the overnight EPS. CMC on board is a huge step forward. if we can get this transition to happen quickly and cleanly it could really bump totals for ETN. Probably won't help the valley a ton. Folks along the East Coast could have a "surprise" storm on their hands.
  18. EPS really likes that reforming low. Not sure if it means anything for our area.
  19. 18z gfs joins the "backside enhancement" group. Steeper trough. Don't see a surface reflection besides maybe a meso-low over in NC.
  20. Yep and our upper air energy is a massive vortex with multiple pieces swinging around. It's still offshore for 3 days. How they shear apart and make their way across the US is not set in stone at all. Long way to go.
