The orange line is the 10C 850mb line (meaning 50F). That is not the line you want to look at for snow. You want to look at the first blue line behind the orange line. That line is the line that represents air 32F or colder at the 850mb level. Once the 850mb level (5000 above us) gets to that point, then if the surface is cold enough, the precipitation will likely fall in the form of snow. In the case of the 12z NAM, it brings that blue line all the way to nearly the coast of SC and NC before the precipitation begins to end. So if this model were to be correct, then you would most likely receive some snow in your location.Marilyn wrote:On the models what is that red /orange line is that the cold air line? i wonder what south of Charlotte will get . We are 2 hours southeast of Charlotte. always right on the line of getting a pretty good snow.I would be happy with an inch.

Re: Snow in the deep south this weekend!
12z GFS seems to have moisture more northward...
Feeling a little better about the chances now, but these things can still bust at the last minute.

Ok, well I am heading off to the airport now to get on a flight to Atlanta. Hopefully once I get there (~4pm EDT), we will have plenty of new information available and will be able to determine just how bad this storm will really be. I would also assume that the Peachtree city NWS will finally issue some kind of advisory or watch/warning later this afternoon too, so I cannot wait for that. It will be interesting to see the midday forecast updates across the southeast and hear what some of the NWS offices believe snow totals could be.

I've always had a facination with the weather since I was a kid. When the Weather Channel came out, I used to watch it almost 24-7! Then I got a computer & discovered weather forums. Whoo-hoo! I would get sooo jealous of the members posting in these forums, but alas I had very little technical knowledge & didn't think I would have anything to add to the discussions.
Today I changed my mind. I wanted sooo much to join in the excitement over the possibility of a measureable amount of snow in areas that normally don't see it. Yes, I'm from the north & HATE snow, but when I travel down south I'm so facinated with everything I see that we don't have up here. Such as palm trees, white sandy beaches, etc. So I can FEEL the excitement you all have & want to cheer the snow on with you!
Maybe you'll enjoy the brief commercial interruptions from time to time in between all the technical talk.
Meanwhile, I'm sending a little something your way!

I saw the SREF model mentioned in one of the discussions last night. It's fun to play with. If the 3-hr max snowfall frames were to come true, I-85 would be a fun place to be between Montgomery and Atlanta.
