  1. Yeah I don't get it.. I mean if fantasy day 16 storms don't pan out in late March when will it? Clearly it has under done the freezing rain threat for DC.
  2. Speaking of investing your time wisely, all of those words boil down to this: Long-range forecasting is valuable for identifying threat windows in advance, but it’s useless for details, making you dumb to expect day 10+ guidance to behave like a near-term forecast.
  3. You’re assuming a clean, immediate pattern flip that the guidance doesn’t actually show. Cold erosion is gradual, downstream response lags the Pacific, and a strong NPAC ridge doesn’t guarantee East Coast warmth without a confirmed height rise, which isn’t locked in yet.
  4. That take assumes the Pacific immediately overwhelms everything downstream, which isn’t how these transitions usually work. A strong NPAC ridge doesn’t automatically squash an EC trough, especially with lingering -AO influence and a trough tucked under higher-latitude ridging. Neutral NAO doesn’t equal warm rain by default. At this range, ensembles are smoothing over key timing and structural details, so declaring this dead based on a broad Pacific signal seems dumb.
  5. Looking good in Edgewater! Must have skipped right over DC
  6. Quite a few control freaks in this thread. Best not fret over something that is entirely unpredictable and will always be..
  7. Norfolk is part of Northern VA as much as it sits on the Pacific Ocean.
  8. The GFS showed essentially the same thing for a few straight runs on Fri and then lost it.
  9. posts in an obs thread but doesn't bother adding location
  10. that and zero orographic influence keeps the sustained banding away
  11. Maybe they're like Va and put it down 5 days before a forecasted storm that never materializes.
  12. I remember close to 6" of sleet in NoVA in one storm that year
  13. Must have picked up on what's looking like this early wave break
  14. HRRR is worthless for predicting band placement until it's inside 18 hours
