Probably wishcasting, but I’m hoping that leading edge of precip in NW GA makes it here and moistens up the column ahead of the main area that comes later on. ?When we dont have the cold air, we have the moisture. When we don't have the moisture, we have the cold air. Classic story in the South. Of course dry air kills our chances here....

@JLL1973 is your ground truth 50 miles to the west
Looks like there’s a very weak sfc trough but I’m not sure that it’s doing much of anything here, maybe a little 
Nice look aloft though, stream of moist 500mb swlys and the forcing gets a boost from the weakening shortwave in ETN. This is driven by mid-upper levels primarily. Any sfc trough east of the mountains would be a boost.

Just woke up and checked my ring. Apparently the snow forecast busted high. Got more snow today then I did with the super cold front a few days ago.

That’s why I said 50 miles to the west
Athens GA has a special weather statement on TWC.

Yea I’m 50 miles west from the ms al state line
I didn’t post the gif since I’m on my phone heading into work soon, but the WRF models on TT were doing some weird things developing a snow band outta nowhere along/south of I-20 in AL/GA tonight around 8/9pm.

What’s your temp? 29 here

I could definitely see a heavy but thin band of snow breakout past the mountains. One of those “if it lasted for 3 hours, I would’ve had 4 inches” type of bands. You get to enjoy it for 30 minutes to an hour and get a dusting to an inch and some what could’ve been lol
It’s in the grid ?

32 hopefully evaporation will knock it back down how long did it take to get flakes once radar returns over u?
NWS is now showing scattered flurries in my area for tonight. Will be at work and would call it a win just to see some flakes falling!
NWS is broad brushing this thing because they have no idea where/if/when this thing will set up east of the apps. Very tricky forecast but could be fun because ground temps/conditions are ideal for everyone.
Favoring south of 85

You missed the point….I said in AL, but I digress. ?
I am renting just south of 85 and our new property is even more south. It was the only reservation I had. I literally had to stop and think if I wanted to buy it just because of that. Bahahahah. My husband was like wutttt. Don't be silly. Bahahahah. He has no idea how serious I was....

seems it would setup just east of the Queen City proper, should be a large shadow east of the mtns
That stuff in eastern TN is already getting close to the radar at tilt one
Trust me I understand exactly what you speak of. 85 in the Charlotte area seems to be the rain/snow line for winter. Lived in Mooresville which is very very comfortably in the snow.... now I'm in Concord and it's so PAINFUL to follow winter stormsI am renting just south of 85 and our new property is even more south. It was the only reservation I had. I literally had to stop and think if I wanted to buy it just because of that. Bahahahah. My husband was like wutttt. Don't be silly. Bahahahah.
