Yeah models are looking surprisingly decent for tomorrow for Central VA. Both NAM and HRRR have at least 0.10" QPF. Might be nice for areas that missed out on the last two threats
Yeah the follow up wave is our only shot at our latitude
This is the type of thing that can trend north and juice up in the short-medium range, though, imo. Might get a 1-3" deal out of it.
yeah, but just barely. it's actually been snowing at incredibly slow rates since about 7:00 this morning. Only a dusting though, it's just been that dry.
yeah... we were so close
now watch whatever happens middle of next week be a DC-Baltimore special and miss us by the same amount to the north
at least we got the December events!
For RIC it has 7" of snow on 0.2" precip
But where it is REALLY broken is along the northwest fringe, as you can see there is basically no QPF but the NBM is still showing accumulating snow.
the NBM is unfortunately broken. its ratios are wildly overstated - I know there have been discussions of 15-20:1 ratios, but the ratios the NBM uses at least on the weatherbell maps are like 40:1, 50:1, or even more in some situations
Yeah we have three different surface lows on the GFS. Really weird depiction that robs a lot of moisture.
Despite a bit of improvement at 500mb its going to be about the same as 06z with respect to snow
it's going to be a bump about 50 miles north with the precip shield... gets warning level snow back into the RIC area... really quite similar to the 18z euro, maybe a bit less snow
All we need is that 500mb low to be 100 miles north. I genuinely think we can get that trend. One thing that did trend in the wrong direction was that stupid shortwave in the Plains. If we can get that out of the way it would be great
