Weather Will

Seems to be support on the Euro ensembles for another storm Tues./Wed. WB

Euro Weather Bell within 7 days...next Tuesday....frozen thump?

Conservative usually wins. We shall see. RGEM and GFS, EURO in the middle, then the NAM. December snow is bonus snow or the appetizer. Main course still to come... just don’t know yet whether it is prime rib or a peanut butter jelly sandwich.

Washington Post Capital Weather Gang forecast.

Red Flag; let’s see how the rest of 18z suite goes before throwing in the towel.

What about surface temps for today and tomorrow? Seem to be lower today than expected and forecasted a notch below for tomorrow as well? Can!t hurt if that is the case.

There are no models bringing anything but white rain inside the Beltways and/or 95 east. RGEM and GFS seem more bullish than EURO and NAM for NW areas. Fun to track. Not a big event for anyone but if NW areas see 2 inches on the grass would take it in a minute. I have to make up for the first 50 years of my life in the DMV when I was always in the white rain zone!

I would take it in a minute!

6z GFS. Kuchera WB. My take as of now is that since day before will be in the 60s and sUrface temps Wed morning just around freezing NW of DC, BA, this will be white rain inside the Beltways, and a grass coverer if we are lucky NW.

There seems to be an interesting dynamic going on in the form this year or tension since so many have called for s torch in December and that may or may not verify. To be fair, I have not heard or seen anyone calling for a snowy December so expectations should be very low. Would take the 18Z EURO in a heartbeat.

Average snowfall at DCA is only about an inch. Before Thanksgiving everyone was talking about the torchy December. I think most people would not bet the ranch on under an Inch today.

Clown map Kuchera 6zGFS WB through next weekend. Would be great if we reach the total snowfall most long range forecasters are predicting for DC by mid December. I love the pattern. If not this one, I think it will be fun this winter. Lots of potential. We just need a little luck which no model or forecaster knows how to calculate. That is one reason why this hobby is so fun.

15 day EPS snow mean is 2 inches from NW DC line Northward. About 20 percent of the individual members look good as well with a couple happy hour homeruns thrown in.....lets see if this is a trend starter or a head fake but best look I have seen this year.

May the force be with us!

Quick look at the 6z and not sure why there is so much negativity. It is not going to be much above normal the next two weeks, there is a lot if cold air lurking to the North, and most importantly to me an active storm track. Any snow In December is bonus snow...let it play out!

Biggest Metro snow in my lifetime was Veterans Day, November 11, 1987. About a foot fell in thundersnow in less than 6 hours. A 20 minute drive from University of Maryland, College Park to Greenbelt took me 4 hours with cars abandoned everywhere. No one predicted it! I always start tracking around this date.

30 degrees, not 39.

39, snow shower with the moon out in Brunswick! Happy Monday!

As my boss used to say, SPARE ME!!!

Me too!!!

Heavy wind, sleet/ice/rain mixture on my walk to Union Station , heard thunder as well. Amazing!!!

Yes, I know, ground too warm, sun angle, late March etc......

Yes...12z off to a good start!

Sterling pretty bullish for next week... On Monday, disturbances in both the northern and southern streams will start to approach the area. The northern stream trough will be quite dynamic, forcing the development of a large area of high pressure in it`s wake. This high will shift southward in conjunction with the upper trough, driving a powerful cold front southeastward toward our area. The combination of the southern stream disturbance approaching from the Tennessee Valley, coupled with the southward surging cold front could produce precipitation across the area by Monday afternoon. However, the positioning of the front and the resultant chances for precipitation are still rather uncertain six days out. The airmass behind the cold front looks very cold for late March, and wintry precipitation may be possible behind the front, even at lower elevations.

GEFS mean looks good for next week. Place would be rocking if this were a month ago. Let's see if it holds.
