So much for promising a time and failing to get a post up! Apologies...
As is usually the case, we can split ACA into the upper and lower halves, delineated by the blue roof house at Dawen Circle.
Upper: A Winter Storm Warning is in effect from MIDNIGHT TONIGHT through 7am SATURDAY. What looked like very limited moisture must have more than forecast as the potential amounts have increased some. For upper ACA, 1.5"-3.5" seems plausible...anticipated winds could limit the high end, however.
Lower: A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for elevations below 3500'. Same time frame, but with lesser amounts, in the 0.75" to 1.75" range.
Winds: starting with this afternoon's storms I hear growling away to the west, wind gusts through this whole event could gust to 40mph. The potential for power outages goes without saying...a tree feel across the road just below the double hairpin curves before sunrise, and there was nothing going on weather-wise. Trees can easily come down, so just be prepared. Yesterday at 2pm, when all was quiet, a massive thundering crash came from a dead tree hitting another dead tree, somewhere just on the downhill side of Tannehill Lane. Third time's the charm...
Temperatures: Wind chills Friday and Friday night could easily get into the single digits. The saving grace is that we won't see below zero temperatures from this system; suffice it to say we're in for a couple of cold, wintry days before we round a bend.
I'm on the mountain all day and night Friday, so I'll update as needed and helpful. Here we go!...
Bob
