Spring 2026 Pattern Discussion Thread

Yep and also a wind advisory out too

[Carvers Gap]

That is a busy map.  Hope the folks under the tornado warning are good.  Whew.

[John1122]

Extreme Heat Warning, Blizzard Warning, Tornado Warning, Severe Thunderstorm Warning, Winter Storm Warning, High Wind Warning, Flood Warning, Ice Storm Warning, Freeze Warning, Gale Warning, Red Flag Warning, Storm Warning (purple in the western Gulf), Lake Shore Flood Warning, Special Marine Warning, Heavy Freezing Spray Warning all in effect in the U.S currently. Maybe the wildest weather night ever.

 

I think the only weather warnings that aren't currently active are Tropical Storm, Hurricane, Extreme Cold, Coastal Flood, and a Flash Flood.

Pretty enthused that this afternoons potential precip shield is looking is looking less potential and more actual this AM:

 

There was even a severe t-storm warning associated with it earlier.  Now we see if the cold air can make it.

Going to be a crazy late afternoon and evening.

12z HRRR just had a conniption over the Smokies

Madison Alabama web cam shows it ripping fat flakes of snow, looks like half dollars.

Went from 41-34 in 30 minutes in Huntsville, we picked this up in the same amount of time.

What an interesting system. The temp last night was very comfortable, epic storms overnight, now we're looking at a few flakes!

Looking at a cam at Memorial Parkway right now and it's a white out!

[GBOVolz]

Can anyone explain what this lake effect type streamer coming from downtown Knoxville?

Edit: not sure why the quality is bad

I think it is is a glitch.  I can see it right now on RadarScope.  It really doesn't originate from MRX.  But there radar looks pretty jacked up right now - lots of bands and stuff.  Someone who knows more about radar could give it a name.

I don’t know if you saw my post in a banner where I met Anthony from MRX. We had a little meet and greet with Mike Witcher people and I had some great conversations with Anthony. What reminded me to tell you all this is Carver talking about a radar glitch but it’s from downtown. There is a private radar downtown on top of a building that MRX has access to, but the general public does not. I’ve seen that streamer before during CAA NW flow. Makes me wonder if the cold weather affects that radar or something.

That is just wild

[GBOVolz]

The HRRR continues to show 3”-5” of snow in a localized area in N Knox Co, Southern Union Co into Granger and Jeff Co that extends into the Mountains. That would be incredible but I doubt it.

Mrx issued a wwa for Scott and Morgan but no further east. 

[dwagner88]

I guess you could call what's falling right now snow, but it's really closer to graupel. Way above freezing too.

[John1122]

Ripping half dollars here now. 

[Knoxtron]

 

[housemtnTN]

Got some mix/graupel downtown knox.

[Shocker0]

Heaviest snow falling of the year here between Crossville and Monterey

 

[Jed33]

Starting to see flakes mix in here in Morristown.

Experiencing some incredible white out conditions
