9.2” here so far. Nice storm for many. It was quite the QPF dump nationwide. Some just got blinded by the Kuchie. -
I don’t think I have double digits yet, but we were always QPF challenged on models. At least it finally went above 10°
-
Haha 3.3”/0.39” in my last core That’s 8.9”/0.83” total so far Run of the mill SWFE up here. Maybe we can fluff it up today
-
Looks saturated with respect to ice
-
Lots of gravity waves showing up in the radar echoes. There’s a weak LLJ moving north on the H85 warm nose. h7 flow is SW.
-
Are you clearing every 3hrs?

Too bad Ditty is a Boomer

https://www.weather.gov/wrh/hazards?obs=true&wfo=gyx&hazard=true&hazard_type=all&hazard_opacity=80&tab=legend Choose the obs tab and zoom and increase the density

They’re right on the edges of ENX (Alb), BOX, and GYX. And GYX is a mess with trees.

Radar dead zone

Either maybe something convective went through and it was heavily rimed flakes/graupel or maybe nucleation is getting poor at times and you’re getting supercooled droplets in the cloud layer freezing in the cold dome.

Whatever…it’s a term Will and Ekster coined 2 decades ago with SW flow aloft. Overrunning, SWFE, isentropic lift…same diff.

Tomorrow isn’t but it’s not going to be enough to reach the upper totals
-
Sleet is just inland
-
In the end it just comes down to a number. The liquid equiv will be what it is. By the end of the week the pack will look the same whether it started as big dendrites or little plates and needles.
-
In the end this is a SWFE and the lift was above the DGZ for most of the event.
-
Yup. I was concerned about ratios. 1st core is 5.6”/0.44” here 13:1 is still solid
-
I think he was reporting 11 when metfan had 8. Very interesting
-
Those are pretty rare. ASOS struggles to go below 1/4SM. They just report it as M1/4SM. Manned obs can go lower with 3/16, 1/8, 1/16, or 0.

S+ everywhere
-
That sleet line has been tactfully hugging the CT shoreline.

Been getting some nice banding up here
