  1. @psuhoffman I mostly went toward the cams for the usual fall line, but leaned towards the euro for well N and W. *on baby duty rn, can’t explain my reasoning in detail. Sorry
  2. Another 3 hours perhaps? Then pixie dust first hour or so, and the rates increase. At least that’s the plan…
  3. Gefs look good on this threat. Nice signal. Next event to track. (Also that clipper in between)
  4. Doubt it. I’ll go with what LWX is saying, if not an hour later. Next hrrr run may show something different
  5. Recent hrrr tries to start us earlier, but has us fighting dry air and doesn’t get us going in earnest till 7z
  6. 18z 3k nam doesn’t start precip in dc metro till 6z. LWX has us starting at 3z
  7. That is very very good news… not from a “potentially snowier” weenie perspective, but in terms of perhaps less impacts/power outages/accidents.
  8. Mix line on 18z nam most similar to 12z yesterday at the same hour (06z Sun). That run doesn’t flip DC until 14z
  9. Nowcast comparison for 19z: Decent agreement, good initialization for HRRR
  10. Comparing gfs forecast for 18z today with current radar Seems faster? Sleet line a bit south
  11. There’s that GL low. AI is “learning” about those
  12. I think its a little bit of both. Models touched on the right idea over 10 days ago when they wanted to cut the storm west of us. Gfs had that, just too extreme with 80” snowfall in PA. That’s characteristic of ninas. But then they went way south with all that cold. We still have the cold, but models returned to their original idea.
  13. It would have been a rainstorm if our temps were even in the climo range
  14. Split the difference since you’re further north/NE. 5-9” perhaps
  15. Sticking with the middle of the road forecast I made earlier, not panicking over the bad CAM runs. 4-8” mix/ice DC metro, 6-10” sleet fest with some zr NW
  16. Yeah I thought a lot more zr, but no, just drier with precip max across PA. So far it’s an outlier
  17. Nowcast precip shield more expansive than 3k nam forecast for 14-15z, with the ice line a tick further south than modeled. But just a little bit
  18. We’ve busted low recently because the temps had been too warm at the surface - is the main reason. But that’s not the case now.
