Feb 26-29 snow showers/clippers

[accu35]

just remember, Murphy is kinda in the same downsloping boat as Asheville, NC.. Of course the 2,000 ft elevation helps some of course.

Yeah, I'm not worried because it's only 2,000. ft vrs 3 to 4,000 ft.

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH FRIDAY/...
Aside from the mountain snow totals, the other major issue will be rapidly steepening mid-level lapse rates as the upper shortwave crosses the southern Appalachians Friday. Anticipate plenty of 7+ deg C/km 850 to 500 mb lapse rates transiting the region.

Is that good for the upstate

moisture chasing cold?

more convective potential, I guess..

 

[accu35]

Euro looking good for TN/NC mountains and for my motel room here in Murphy NC LOL!!!

 

[Clem282340]

more convective potential, I guess..

That’s what it seems like to me across the upstate

Yep we’re only going to win East of the mountains if we can get real convective tomorrow .. rare but .... there’s definitely a chance ?

If the convection does a cure will there be any accumulation at all

 

[Stephenb888]

If the convection does happen in the upstate sc what time are we talking?

 

[gawxnative]

Seeing returns over NE AL/N GA in last 15 minutes.. popping up pretty quick

I wouldn’t ever discount the chance of a quick accumulation when you’re talking about convective snow, simply because the rates can be so high and much like a summer thunderstorm the temperatures can drop so quickly. During the February 2013 event that has been referenced in this thread, my temperature in Wingate dropped from 44 to 32 in a matter of just about 5 minutes.

Looks like this clipper system has more moisture with it

Hmmm.... 12z HRRR looks kind of interesting tonight. Just now actually looking at this, couple of convective showers might be fun

Getting moderate snow right now in red bank north of Chattanooga.

Good to know. Hoping the precip hurries up and clouds can block the warming so we csn get in on snow too. This thing is juiced up and not even convective much yet.

So this is first round and second that comes tonight is still up in MO area?

The second round is behind the first which is convective according to the models. The third bit isn't but is still further up the line.

Is the third round going to affect ga/upstate/N.C. any

 

[accu35]

That band in Chattanooga arae looks pretty healthy. Plus second round behind this first is getting juiced
