Wintry Nov 30-Dec 1 Flurries/Snow Showers

Well at least the 850 0C line is about an hour ahead of the 3k's schedule. Precip is looking scarce

Precip really wasn't expected yet in outside of the mountains and parts of east-central TN. Folks in northern Alabama and Georgia have to wait for the CVA max/parent upper trough over Arkansas & Missouri to move overhead to generate enough forcing for ascent to trigger scattered rain/snow showers, that won't occur til this evening.

FFC now saying snow is possible in a line From Atlanta to Athens and northward.

The main upper trough
will deepen over the southeast through tonight...then push eastward.
Wrap around moisture will affect much of north GA through tonight. A
mix of rain and snow can be expected today for much of north GA
(north of Atlanta to Athens)...with precipitation becoming mainly
light snow this evening. Snow accumulations should be around an inch
or less except locally higher amounts in the higher elevations and
on west and northwest facing slopes.

I was just about to post this... seems FFC is being slightly aggressive this morning overall. If the 850s continue crashing it's just a matter of the ULL flow and how much moisture it rings out I suppose

Wow so they are saying the north metro could get an inch.
 
@SD @Rain Cold @metwannabe are your surrounding offices talking up the wind as much as MHX? Havent read those area discussions yet but for my area they are being bullish.

* WHAT...South winds 20 to 30 mph with gusts up 45 to 55 mph expected.

Yeah about the same here. They mention the LLJ moving through with a few gusts as high as 45. I'll believe it when I see it. I have yet to record a gust higher than 26 or so on my Tempest. And it's gone through at least 2 wind advisories.

Based off what type of system this is and models just doesn't seem likely. I assume they are just being broad with their wording because some people could get in a heavier band perhaps but that's a crap shot. I personally think anyone north of a line of Floyd Country thru Franklin County have the best chances for up to a inch. I would suspect anyone below that would see some snow fall maybe a dusting perhaps but hey I'm definitely not FFC and just throwing out a opinion. I generally appreciate them being more aggressive in their calls to be honest.

The wording for the SWS indicated that the best chance of accumulation would be along and north of a line from Atlanta to Gainesville at elevations of 2000 ft or higher. Even then, "up to 1 inch" wording maybe for the higher elevation areas further north.

I translate to mean "Mt. Yonah-ish" and places like it
 
12z HRRRRRR and 3k in pretty good agreement. 3k backed off some especially for farther south areas of AL/GA

A little, @Rain Cold covered, they mention it will be a very quick hitter. 1 to 3 hours and that's it but I'm with RC, I'll believe it when I see it

They're talking 35-50 mph right now though, so we shall see.....
 
Here’s what AKQ has to say on the subject from their morning briefing.

Snowing on catooloochee Hemphill now (SW NC). It will start in southern Mtns before Northern Mtns.

Top of Beech mtn is still 44 degrees,Boone 41. Waiting on wind to switch around NW. 0 mph wind in Triad right now. Died off. See what it can do latter today when the NW shift comes in

Just started Snowing Gatlinburg. Someone on here went up that way I beleive

That camera has been frozen from a summer shot every time I've checked it.
