Mary a cloud in the sky here aside from some high cirrus as we approach sunset.

LOL - this NWS forecast near Decatur, AL shows they really don't know what to expect. 3-5 inches possible but rain showers and snow showers. The wording in these forecasts is just crazy at times. All snow after 5PM this afternoon, but then rain and snow with colder temperatures tonight...then changing to rain and then back to snow flurries all within the span of a couple of hours.

I'm confident that we'll achieve warning criteria here, but we started the day looking at .50", we're down to .40 on the official forecast and down to .30 on the NWS Blend.

Winds shifted to E. 48/28 zero clouds an hour from sunset

Temps starting to fall haven’t had clouds all day and it doesn’t look like that will change any time soon. Wonder how that will effect temps later tonight?

I would tell her to go tomorrow afternoon instead.

Thanks DD, but I'd like to know if going tomorrow even in the afternoon would be likely to be slippery between Chat. and Nashville.

Dews continue to rise at GSO with winds out the SE/ESE

To mid TN folks like @olhausen :

My niece wants to drive from Atlanta to Nashville tomorrow morning. I told her I thought that could be dangerous due to slippery roads and to instead go Fri, which she can do. But she'd rather not shorten the time there. I told her that I wasn't just worried about roads in Nash,. but maybe moreso the roads between Chat. and Nash. I recall a mountain ridge you have to go across.

Please give me opinions about whether or not I should tell her to wait til Fri. Also, will the drive be much better Fri morning? TIA!

Hey, I'll pick her up. Where she live?

It should be clear by tomorrow afternoon. TDOT does a great job of working Monteagle Mnt. and Chattanooga isn't likely to see anything.

let us know when you snow...I'm downwind!!lol

Nothing here. Was suppose to have 2 inches by now. Air is so dry. A friend of mine that lives in walnut said he has heavy snow so maybe it’s on it’s way

 

[JLL1973]

I mean, can it at least stop snowing so hard for a moment to go to the store

Where are you?

That could actually be worse, it means the moisture will not be as heavy when falling and will stick to everything with temps around 30. The 1"-1.25 was never going to verify but from an accrual standpoint it would mean heavier rates and less accrual as it would wash away most of the ice

HRRR keeps ticking warmer

This is going to over perform up here. Huge flakes falling with nothing but blue radar for hours.

[Stormlover]
