BooneWX Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 When I lived up there, days like today were my favorite. Steady flow is fun but these are basically thunderstorms. Just peaked at the blowing rock cam and the height on those cloud tops would make you think it’s June if you didn’t know better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My years in Boone had multiple “big events” but I loved the over performing NWFS events the most. Real boom or bust. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Only flurries here so far. Big storms last night. So I am going to trust that old lore. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I am seeing a lot of positive trends in regards of the various computer schemes for the week ahead and even in the day 10 range. I'm seeing some potential for the Gulf upcoming as it is still very warm and capable of spinning up low pressure particularly along the NW and Central Gulf Coast. There is a decent stream of moisture from the Pacific heading our way along the Sub Tropical Jet. I'll be watching the Gulf carefully the next several days carefully. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Met1985 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Models aren't digging the vort like yesterday so this isn't a long duration event anymore. Totals are cut way back. The one good thing I see is that we may see severe small flow events the next 10 days. Sent from my SM-G998U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Also current temp and low of 14 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 18 for my low this morning. Still looking like and Advisory event Wednesday night and Thursday morning. I noticed the NAM models where a bit juicier overnight at the end of their runs. Next weekend is still worth monitoring. It's going to be very cold late this work week with windchill indices at or below zero! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The models continued to advertise a shorter duration event ending early pre-dawn Thursday morning. That said, I see a trend developing that we start as snow Wednesday afternoon with no mixing issues from the point when the front arrives. Another point is the higher ratios due to the very cold temperatures immediately behind the Arctic front. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Looking at things currently from a model standpoint it looks like this weekends flow snow will be better than the Wednesday night flow snow but things can still change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And additional flow snow chances into next week! We are getting some very cold shots throughout the next couple of weeks. There is really no reprieve from cold temperatures in the foreseeable future! We are in for an active period for at least the next couple of weeks in prime climatology! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And very cold temps so if anyone is worried about the ground temp don't because it's going to be very cold for several days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk I like it. Honestly, I'd rather have several 1-3" days vs one or two 12- 18" day. There is a point where it turns from "this is awesome" to "I'll not leave the house in several days". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxKnurd Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Meanwhile driving back from Yellowstone tonight it was 60-degrees at 9:30 pm. At least another week of above temps and I’ve got new skis waiting to be broken in. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
