  1. There was a study done on one of the old forums several years ago centered around Atlanta regarding what phases/amplitudes they scored sig winter weather in...surprisingly the COD produced more than any other amplitude. I believe you hit the nail on the head...to score we have to rely on a weak version of the SER (more so for the eastern side of the state. Over amplify in cold phases and the cold overbears the Gulf...reverse for the warm phases..torch city.
  2. Think our middle TN folks would call it winter complete with that 00z GFS run for the end of the week lol..
  3. Still coming down at a good clip (about 2 miles from town)...Coker Creek area. Couple inches on the ground, roads slushy
  4. Picked up .75" on the snow board in town..if you count what melted before sunset..looks like the RGEM did the best IMBY...think it is one of Holstons favorite winter models
  5. Pretty impressed for town (upslope only works out maybe 5% of the time). Good start to the season...maybe, just maybe it will be a good winter. We had what seemed like great teleconnections the last couple years that went exactly opposite. May as well try the opposite lol.
  6. Heavy dusting with everything turning white in downtown Tellico (830')...can only imagine what it looks like at Stratton Meadows (5400') on the Skyway
  7. Yeah you can go from 870' in town to 5600' in a 17 mile span...I figure it will be hammering up there this evening
  8. Yeah if the valley is going to see a dusting or so, that is the area to watch..6z NAM was keying on that area but backed off on 12z
  9. Yeah, if you are a weather enthusiast, Tellico is an interesting place. You can go from 42 and rain to a blizzard and 25 in 15 mins down the road lol
  10. Mixing at the house 1900' and 35, it's switched over to Graupel in Madisonville (900'). From what I've heard so far, the state line on the Skyway changed over around 5am.
  11. 6z 3k NAM seems to be picking up on maybe a little more energy rotating down the backside Holston mentioned earlier...now has the upslope producing in the Great Valley
  12. 18z HRRR continues increasing the UH up the valley
  13. Def agree with Quincy, guidance is converging more in those areas...may finally be nearing an agreement. Only area with a bigger question mark is the southern valley of TN/NW GA.
  14. 12z 3k and CAMs looking more like HRRR as far as UH
  15. Being the Fire Capt. at the time for a town here in SE TN...the morning convection spawned several touchdowns here on 4/27. It also did little to suppress the evening convection as it moved thru. Spent half the night going house to house doing search and rescue in the middle of the storms.
  16. Strong wording in MRX AFD..kinda surprised me considering they are usually leaning conservative: the favorable jet coupling aloft, this event has the potential to pose the most significant tornado threat we have had since April 27, 2011
  17. I could see HUN doing something (possibly BNA), but until (or if) the Euro lowers the surface temps I dont see MRX pulling the trigger. SPS yes, Watch no.
  18. It's not an expansion of the precip shield as much as it is the path the 925 energy takes to our south. The circles area is the energy on the 00z NAM..as it crosses from MS into AL/GA line, it then transfers off the SE Carolina coast. Starting with the 18z (now 00z), the NAM has ticked slightly south with its path before transfer..taking the moisture return and dynamics to closer along the TN border. GFS is very similar to the NAM, while the 18z Euro took a big step in that direction (it would have looked very similar on snow output but it is about 4-6 degrees warmer right at the surface). How that piece treks south of us, will determine the haves and have nots.
  19. 00z NAM sounding is almost a mirror image of the sounding last week...would be some nice big wet flakes.
  20. Yeah it is..the 925 was a tick further south (but by just 10 mi or so. If NAM is to be believed..10 mi could make a big difference on the cutoff.
