Cold air in the these storms seem to always struggle over the Cumberland Plateau to get into Chattanooga, Dalton, and Chatsworth when it is borderline.

I agree with this. Seemed to happen with the last system as well.

I agree, but different setup from earlier this week. We are already suppose to get down to 32 tonight.

Will need to monitor the lows tonight

roads are starting to get treated here in Chattanooga

My high busted 3 degrees low today. High was 48 not 51… interesting

Clouds came in earlier.

Nice of the GFS to put the bullseye over Van Buren country on the cumberland. I did not think we would top Sunday nights 7 inches, but who knows.

A lot of sleet in that.

I believe we busted 2 degrees here. Would be nice to hang around 34 tomorrow instead of 36/37

I'm in Ooltewah and we busted on the high end. We hit 55° today. I "think" we were supposed to be at 52° for the high. I believe the airport officially hit 53° for the high. Speaking of the airport, for years I believe Chattanooga should move the official reporting station away from there. In general the airport usually runs warmer than surrounding areas and it really doesn't accurately depict all the various temperatures in our area. They need a more centralized location in my opinion or more than 1 reporting station like some other cities have.

Interesting. It’s going to be close tomorrow

 

[superjames1992]

that is a little more ice than i would like. you would think anything over .25 of ice would be winter storm criteria

0.25” accretion is warning criteria, but 0.25” of freezing rain calling from the sky won’t lead to anywhere near 0.25” of accretion in many/most cases, especially if the precipitation is heavy or if temperatures are near freezing.

Update for middle Tennessee peeps!

Upgraded to WSW

 

[ghost1]

Gonna chase in north Bama tomorrow. When is the heaviest precip coming in?

I'd say to really see something go on up to Manchester or McMinnville TN

 

[tucker]

I think I’m riding the GFS with this one. It performed very well last event.

Also, find very interesting how heavily they are treating the roads here. They did nothing for the event earlier this week.

Looking at latest cams they seem too be throwing out a little more freezing rain over extreme north ms and southern tn.

Honestly not even sure why we are under a WWA.
