WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY

Good Sunday morning, everybody. We now have a Winter weather advisory (click on link) for Haywood County in effect from 7:00 p.m. tonight through 7am Tuesday.

 This incoming snow situation is a bit different than any I've seen in many years. Pretty heavy accumulations will occur along the Tennessee border and maybe 5 to 10 miles from it before there is a sharp drop off in accumulations. My models still show ACA in the 0 to 1" category; however, the advisory is saying 1 to 2" in the lower elevations and for our upper elevations that could be from 2 to 4". It's best to defer to the NWS and be prepared for their projections. I'll be curious about totals as not one single model run of the GFS and NAM the past couple of days has had ACA in more than the 1 inch category.

 This morning's rain showers will soon end, and the Sun should return for another mild day. The temperatures start to drop tonight with a cold front with the snow setting in after dark but mostly in the overnight hours. Northwest flow events can continue for more than a day, and accumulations can be a real wild card. Thankfully, we've got a nice day to prepare for this roll of the weather dice.
