Wintry Dec 8-10th Winter Storm

[packfan98]

doesn't the direction matter? I don't see any winds on soundings that look like they would be driving warmth into our area. no winds out of the south that I can find.

The WPC discussion yesterday mentioned that the winds would be out of the east and the warming aloft would not be as strong as some of our prior storms.

HRRR is lights out for lake hartwell

19z HRRR had much more zr and sleet across more of NGA. 20z wasn't as strong. Only time will tell.

 

[Rain Cold]

The HRRR can be pretty bad beyond 10-12 hours, I'm gonna wait until later this evening before taking it too seriously, one only has to look upstream w/ how it did in Oklahoma (being the last of the models to cling onto a significant winter storm in OKC before finally caving) to see some red flags.

Yes, the hrrr is horrible at those ranges. I’m all for it showing snow, but I don’t expect it is right.

It looks like the NWS for Middle Tennessee and especially north Middle Tennessee think we could see more snow then initially forecasted. They were calling for a dusting to an inch north of Nashville but I’m now seeing up to 2 inches possibly.

The ULL looks decent on the rgem, I would say thats more snow than rain

Gonna try to ignore the hrrr until midnight. The 20z run is way warmer

Seeing pretty snow maps and verifying is the equivalent to how we felt as children at Christmas. It's awesome:weenie:

I don't see anybody reporting from Forsyth Co, GA, which looks to be a possible demarcation zone between little to no zr and possibly a good bit. Here 5 miles NW of Cumming it's currently a rainy mess at 38.4. Winds gusting to near 20mph from the NE. Bring on the wedge!

I was in dawson county earlier and it was all rain just as it is here now. This was an hour ago.

yeah. I’m getting more and more confident in 1” of sleet and a glaze on trees by tomorrow night for me and Mack

 

[Snownut]

I saw a report from someone while ago, that it was all snow in Hiawassee GA

I wouldn't expect wintry precip in Dawson unless you're up in the far NW part that goes towards Sassafras Mnt (3200')

At least for now. Later in the event there could be if there is some here as well. Could definitely as the cold is coming down slowly.

This part of Arkansas has been getting pounded for the last few hours with no end in sight

Waiting until late tonight or early am, would love to make some 1st tracks..

Our time in Georgia will be between midnight and 4 am!

 

[5Stripes4life]

Hopefully the Cold Air can come down to Metro Atlanta tonight, before the precip weakens.

GFS finally joins the party. Much more qpf

Sorry, yeah that's what I meant. For now, till the wedge starts to do its dirty work and hopefully brings us to AOB freezing.

Jimmy, why do we always fall for this crap! Cold rain special coming, it’s a mind numbing 39.4 degrees now! Just screams record setting snow and sleet storm!
