cold air aloft Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hunter mentioned watching the radar returns develop today in Louisiana. The returns there and in East Texas are starting to look pretty interesting to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 If we could get this thing to shift northwest about 50-75 miles we’d be golden here for at least a low impact event. I’d take an inch of snow on the ground at this point! Starved down here LOL! . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Met1985 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Always a NW trend. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Not impressed with the 18z Nam 3km. Seems to keep firing precipitation through the early morning hours but it is just scattered. Still think we see a widespread 1"-3" from this but who knows. This is why the weather is so fun! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 SREF Plumes are at 1.28 MEAN for KAVL ... I'd take half of that? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Temperature is starting to fall fairly quickly now. Currently 37 which was my morning low this morning after a high of 45. Now if we can just get some moisture. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvward Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Decent blob on the radar moving up from North GA. Snow reports showing down there so I bet many seem flakes from this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BretWx Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 If only that moisture took that NW job we'd be thumping right now. Maybe will see some flakes before it's out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Disappointing how this unfolded for all of us, that's for sure. Looking at the pattern ahead its easy to feel optimistic. We have found every way possible to miss in the past 4 years though, so it's hard to get too excited. Anyways glad I can post my thoughts here without a bunch of crazy. This is a good group of people! 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A painful amount of “close but no cigar” setups in WNC for a while now. We’re snow starved down in the foothills but yall kinda are too. Ik nwf happens frequently but it feels like it’s been a century since anyone west of I-77 has seen a synoptic setup. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like this winter and last winter we have no problem getting the cold but the moisture is either north of us or south of us. I saw where even down into Destin FL saw flakes this morning. We will get ours. This pattern of misses won't continue. Great job friend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maggie Valley Steve Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Hunter brings great insights with awesome knowledge of our "local" climates! Our group is truly amazing that brings a wealth of knowledge. When I moved here permanently in 2019 (I lived here during my last two years of college at Mars Hill back in the day late 70's), the Mountain group welcomed me and I found my fix for this disease we call weather! I certainly like our chances particularly next weekend and beyond! I suspect we'll have plenty of opportunities well into mid/late February. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hvward Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Thanks for the kind words. On cue the 12z GFS shows what a real overunning event should look like here in WNC for next weekend. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
