strongwxnc Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 116 AM EST Sat Jan 31 2026 The CAMs continue to suggest banded structures in the simulated reflectivity though this might not be a strong case for mesoscale banding. If that were to develop, there could be sharp stripes and gradients of snowfall. Either way, there will probably be at least one axis of heavier precip/snow where the better frontogenesis sets up on the north side of the 850 mb low. What is interesting is how several guidance sources want to place the best snow potential somewhere out in that triangle area bounded by GSP/CLT/CAE later today. Guidance also has been consistent with a stripe of better snow potential somewhere in northeast GA, but confidence in placement will be elusive until/unless we see it start to materialize. Note that if we have banding, some places will get less than expected. However, the air mass should be cold enough...generally in the low/mid 20s outside the mtns...and the rates high enough...upwards of 1/2 to 1 inch per hour...that even lower accums will result in significant challenges to transportation as the snow easily sticks to roadways. There could also be some blowing snow concerns through the event that could result in brief near-blizzard conditions in some spots, particularly during the daylight hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilj4425 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I’m sorry but did GSP use the word blizzard? I’m east of northeast Georgia and on the far west side of that triangle area. Ugh. Hoping the band forms a little further west than what the models show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just temporary enough to avoid a warning for it. Still holding at 8-10" on latest models IMBY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
