Well, the models keep inching ACA totals upward a bit for an event that will start unfolding overnight tonight and go through Tuesday, thanks to a protracted upslope snow event and some very cold air. Currently, we're under a Winter Storm Watch as I type here at work, which will either be upgraded to a Warning or downgraded to a Winter Weather Advisory later today. I'll be back in ACA this afternoon and will update then if necessary (NOTE: IT IS NECESSARY AND I WILL WAIT FOR THE AFTERNOON DATA TO PROCESS AND WILL POST A NEW ENTRY BY 8PM TONIGHT. PER THE NWS, IT'S HEFTIER...).
This is a big storm issue for places like the Smokies, Max Patch, Mt. Mitchell, etc., that stand to get 5-8" of snow. Currently, the NAM is trending 3-4" for ACA and the GFS still 2-3" (the latter being the most accurate this year for ACA).
So, no major dumping, but plenty to potentially affect travel on our beloved mountain starting in the early morning.
No eminent warm up yet...even into next weekend I don't see us hitting the 50 degree mark.
Bob
