Well we will find out how good the models really are in the next few hours . The temps are still is in the mid 40s anyway, but models are showing dry air moving in right when the heavier precip gets to this area and basically put up a wall around the Richmond area.
Gonna need to cash in during the transfer here. The 6pm -10pm timeframe will be key hours here if we get anything measurable or not, most likely...
(Assuming the models are right and the dry air takes over again)
It's more where the storm is developing and yet again we are right in the middle of the two storms. So dry air is what is the killer again as the Main storm transfers over to the coast..
We could get lucky if we get a good band to hit but the models have all been showing the transfer point for the snow right around this area . Owell enjoy the pics from the north/coast if none of you are heading that way
Not gonna be fun looking at the radar for the next day or so.. It's gonna look something like this for this area. Just getting fringed & missing most if not all of the good precip.
This current one now, looks like a runner sprinting away from our area .lol
F Dry air .lol
Let the radar hallucinations begin
With this next storm we could still get zippo even if the low moves closer, because of dry air/phasing of the possible two lows..
If we can get over 2 inches ... I'll call that a win with this one, guess we will find out soon .
I was being kinda sarcastic.. We all know it takes a village to get a decent snow here..
Talk to me when it's actually snowing/exceeded the amount on the long range Lol
Yeah, we haven't got "the big one" but still allot more active then it was last year .
After last weekend storm, a 1-4 inch storm will look like a ton of snow.
"Wishcasting" obviously isn't working.
Most of the models have been pretty consistent as a whole with their max outputs of a 1-3 or 2-4 event for the Richmond area. The only real question is if the beaches get more or not.. I doubt at this point it shifts enough west to give much more then the 2-4 max here... (Especially how the last storm affected the area)
Eh not always .. still could move too far west and be rain or another sleet fest... You know dry air will somehow find a way in at some part even when not modeled.. lol.
All and all, good trends so far...
On the brink in the RIC again...This is where the good trends stopped last storm.
Should start seeing better overall model agreement with these next few runs.
A few miles either way, will make all the difference.
I don't think that's going to amount to anything but interesting to see if it backfills more or not...
Some returns down south look to be father west the forecast
Still getting decent jogs on the models for this current system , only other issue is the dry air around here.. Heck Yesterday's storm had an issue fighting the dry upper air..
Hopefully we get another decent bump or two but time is running out now..We will see
Prob about an hour left rates really never increased here prob actually decreased dry air always seems to find its way in here somehow lol.. owell, at least just about everything is white now .. side roads prob will end up with at least a dusting
Radar filled in again maybe we will have this hold on into the 7pm-8pm timeframe. A nice dusting to inch + definitely looking more likely now (mainly on grass and decks ) but temps falling still so gonna be slick soon on them untreated roads
Well temp also almost at freezing now .. so everything will stick soon.. too bad the rates are so pathetic.. maybe the models will be right and the back end will be better ..
Probably every time it looks like it's about to pick up it slows back down.. good snow tv . If we get a dusting I'll call that a win.. Future radar shows still ending at around 7pm but I think it will be closer to 530/6pm before it gets pretty scattered and even more light
