The way some models have been pulling the storm south, it could be dangerous. I also hope we can get some wrap around snow Monday from the storm.

Cold rain/storms and maybe a little backside dusting of snow is all I see out of it. For the Maryville area anyway.

The system late next week.....

Yup. I just checked the GFS and the EURO. Both show the storm with similar tracks, just different strengths. Its a prefect track for a major snowfall in East Tennessee. Cyclogenisus off the Texas coast, tracking through the Florida panhandle, and into the Carolina's. Ground and road surface temperatures will be cold.

James Spann looking ahead to next weekend. Would be a high impact storm for all of Tennessee.

Alert!!!!!!!

Areas along interstate 40 (including Knoxville) have now been included in the winter weather advisory.

The 18z GFS model is trending towards a fairly significant snowfall. Going to be interesting - would rather see the snow than the freezing rain, that’s for sure.

The storm next Friday/Saturday….now that one looks like it could be a doozy. Lots of things lining up for that one early.

 

[volsforever27]

That’s the one I was asking about. All the internet weather guys have had an eye on that one for a minute…

The storm next Firday/Sat looking like more of a mixed bag now. Accumulating snow on the front end, switching to sleet and freezing rain on the back end as the warm nose pushes in and the low tracks closer to us, then changing back to light snow as it tracks east, weakens and then an east coast low forms. Could be quite a mess Friday night and Saturday morning. Longer range, the GFS and EURO couldn't be more different with the GFS showing colder with more winter precip chances, and the EURO significantly warmer. Interesting to watch!

How we looking for the Friday possibility here in the Memphis area?

Yeah I looked this morning and it had shifted more toward the mixed bag you speak of. I’m certainly not meteorologist, but I find myself learning more and more and finding these models so interesting.

Beats watching the local forecast that’s usually never right. Now I can be kind of right or kind of wrong or just very wrong!

You'll need to prepare for wintry weather as well is seems, if the models hold. Snow on the front end, then a mixed bag.

I love forecasting as an amateur. Been doing it for over 20 years now. I have a friend with a PHD in meteorology who can help me understand some of the finer details when needed.

Anyone seeing anything different than rain right now? My car says 32 and raining and I’ve seen a little sleet here and there but that’s it so far.

Was driving into town in Maryville and the rain froze on my car. 30 minutes later, I came out, and it had all melted.

Snowing in the TRI near Kingsport. I guess it all depends on whether the cold air holds. 31 degrees currently.

It's 28 degrees up here on the Anderson/Union county line with sleet and freezing rain coming down atm.

I should have clarified. I’m in the Hardin Valley area and drove to Lenoir City. All rain and pretty heavy at times. If this were snow we would be getting several inches. Maybe next weekend?

It’s time for the snow tradition - get in the truck and head to Waffle House. Temp shows 29 versus the official “31”, so there’s some hope yet this thing brings us a good snow. Trying to will this thing into existence.
