12/2/2024 - Potential Clipper Action!

[griteater]

The "heaviest" snowfall right now appears to be in a band running from St. Louis down into S Illinois and W Kentucky. The location of that precip lines up well with the track of the 700mb vort max and max RH. Think we can keep it simple and just track that down into the Carolinas. We're already late in the game, but I don't think we're going to see some noteworthy jump to the northeast with the expected precip shield. Having said that, I hope all get in on some action here.

Latest NAM 3km coming in to the weather office

 

[griteater]

I expect to see snow on the ground in the morning (0.1 to 0.9) here NW of Charlotte in E Lincoln County. Precip will occur overnight which is ideal of course for accumulation

last runs of the 3k keeps improving

The NAM legit brings snow flurries to right about Wilmington/Myrtle Beach

 

[Webberweather53]

Yeah I (still) think just NE of Charlotte is going to be the sweet spot here.

Interestingly both the NAM and HRRR now shows snow flurries in north AL/GA.

GSP mesolow doing its dirty work. Such a nasty little rascal

I’d really love to see Charlotte break its snowless streak. Also locales like Fayetteville and Southern Pines get measurable snow out of this thing before DC and Philly get measurable snow.

These soundings this NAM run are definitely a lot more interesting. Probably the most Convective I’ve seen

Updated NWS Graphic. Let's see some flakes!

I fully expect to see some in the floodlights tonight.

who do I need to pay to get in on this dry clipper action?

 

[Webberweather53]

This is why I still like the area NE of Charlotte just north of the US 74 corridor here.

It's where your low-level convergence & low-level frontogenesis zone extending NE of the mesolow is being maximized. Based on the low-level hodographs, which suggest these updrafts will tilt N-NE into the DGZ further aloft, you'll want to be near or just N-NE of this convergence axis to jackpot & get accumulating snow.

Our old Clint Eastwood Poster lives right in that sweet spot on webbers map. Aint seen him in while, great poster/Knowledgeable. Forgot his username.

We are out of this. Maybe January or February for us.

This is a smaller/lighter and more NE version of this event it seems https://www.weather.gov/cae/Feb162013SnowEvent.html
