Been at work all day, inform me

See attached. One is Kuchera ratio, and the other is basic 10:1.

Edit: I’ll clean up and attach better pictures shortly.

 

[DarthVisor]

See below. This is the 18z NAM.

 

[rocktopper16]

I'd cut those totals in half right now. Sunday is interesting still.

 

[bigdaddy]

My prediction is some light dusting snow tonight after rain and more rain on Sunday

 

[mrorange211]

I'm not an expert by any means, but it sure does look like we are gonna get some snow tonight based on the radar and forecasts I've read.

The following pretty much reflects my thoughts on snow accumulation. I would lean towards the 2 inches in the valley to be on higher elevated areas such as ridges.

 

[DrRosenRosen]

I'll put my money on light dusting in Knoxville.

Blount Co already closed, shame

Blount Co already closed, shame

Really no reason to close doubtful travel will be a concern but I get mountain roads are usually the first to go

 

[Coug]

Is that a "trace" to 2"?

That's terrible reporting. That's like saying "I really don't know how much snow is going to fall in the valley."

 

[DarthVisor]

It doesn’t seem like the temperature is going to fall fast enough.

Bet you’ll be near freezing in the next hour

If the temp keeps falling like it is the heaviest bands will be south. Southern Valley right see more. Big IF

9:10pm here in west Knoxville. Rain, temp holding at 43.

 

[DarthVisor]

Well?

I’d like my crow well done with a baked potato on the side! It started falling rapidly right after you responded.

 

[BallinVol]

Moisture is dissipating. This isn't going to amount to anything. Maybe a dusting in places. Black ice in the morning is possible.

Down to 36 @ the house in Farragut. Seems to be getting colder than expected...

 

[DarthVisor]

Mixing here. Down to 36.

38 here at Lovell and Psippi. Had some graupel earlier, seeing snow and rain mixed. Nothing sticking obviously.

On radar it looks like the moisture is pushing south pretty fast. Might not have any moisture by 1am I'd guess.

 

[Vol knight]

Seeing a mix of snow, sleet, and rain in South Knoxville.
