I haven't even considered doing that tomorrow. Its an hour and 15 drive and I have class at 1pm so maybe mid morning would work. That said, its finals week so I may just stay local to conserve my energy. Will you be going back there though?
This is also a great test case on if starting a thread ruins an event as if this manages to completely fall apart within 12 hours of the start time the curse may be real.
As @WxUSAF pointed out this is now a legitimate enough event for the southern folks to start a thread specifically for it! Let's try to will this thing a little bit further north to get it to everyone.
I did later check that and the 850mb lift is pretty crazy. Though I guess it could be onto something with the cold air press from the north? I don't quite have enough skill to understand it yet though. Either way the soundings for Cville as it snows has a pretty large and 90% RH DGZ layer with lift so I should see some nice flakes. Though lmao
Yeah I think a chase should be reserved for either 4+ inches or a weekend day. Not to mention how bad the traffic is getting into Cvill from the 14 lane stroad on route 29. I hope its able to bump its way a little bit further north for you guys as well! So far our seasonal trend appears to be last minute favorable north shifts so its possible!
This wasn't even really on my radar till you mentioned it still Friday night. Now I need to make a last second insta forecast for my friends at UVA Tech and W&M lmao
3k NAM is going to make a significant jump north based on the confluence at hour 30. That said, it was a southern outlier at the 18z run but should help @Ephesians2 out
I mean assuming I got the positive changes from 18z to 0z right at hour 15 (also couldve been an unrelated factor) that is technically the HRRR's wheelhouse? Or am I insane?
