Luray at 10 am versus now.

Okay. Then stop posting for a couple hours if you can’t handle the model to model changes and nuances in your front yard. Enjoy the full experience and wait it out before jumping ship.

Norlurn to west… coastal to east. 🥲

The advisory versus warning areas are obviously taking elevation, temperatures, and climo into account. The norlurn trough is also currently progged to be the western warning (Loudoun, Clarke, Frederick MD, the Blue Ridge, etc.). We could have upgrades in the metro area, but for now, that's the best forecast given the melting that will happen. Coastal to the east, elevation to the west. Not unusual.

Let's refresh: The "Point" map is the official NWS snowfall forecast in inches during the time period shown on the graphic. This snowfall amount is determined by NWS forecasters to be the most likely outcome based on evaluation of data from computer models, satellite, radar, and other observations. The "Range" map is the 25th percentile (lower number) to 75th percentile (higher number) of possible snowfall amounts based on the Weather Prediction Center (WPC) Super Ensemble output during the time period of the graphic. The official NWS snowfall forecast influences this range of values either up or down depending upon how closely they match.

I note the AFD hasn't come out yet.

That's exactly what's going to happen. I thought we were clear from the beginning.

Classic. Shadow and energy transfer issues.

They can't brine if it starts as rain. It's not sneaking up, you just don't pre-salt the roads in this scenario.

Sometimes they do it so it hits the 11:00 news.

Perhaps, but in these situations they should be part of the evaluation for the forecast.

Even 2" on the Snow Depth Positive Change. Impressive.
