I think I see 0.40” liquid for freezing rain power outages hopefully it’s not that radial freezing rain that MGorse was talking about yesterday. We cannot lose power with that cold coming behind the storm.
Thinking right call is 8-10” for the weenie at heart, but reality is a floor of 6” and a ceiling of 10”
I do think the Euro at 0z went higher because it calculated sleet this time instead of Frz rain at least I hope.
Think the budget was cut balloons too expensive so geese were tagged to sample the atmosphere around our region looking for where the warm tongue will set up.
Most models going sleet to freezing rain Euro 0.30-0.40” liquid at 24-27f in Se Pa is very concerning power outages.
my hope we shove the cold south at 12z keeping all layers cold enough for snow and sleet the alternative of Frz Rain is bad news with the pattern behind the storm.
I am going 8-12” with 1-2” of sleet to 0.32” Frz for Central Delaware County.
See what 12z does it would be very bad to switch to liquid with this scenario my number one concern snow sleet you can deal with.
Yep, they are on the wrong side of Lake Erie down wind is over in Erie, PA or Southwestern New York State depending on wind vectors from the west, northwest, and southwest during cold air advection and wind patterns.
Thanks for the advice I am going ALL IN on the GFS chips forward. I BELIEVE!!! Primary will bounce off the large high and confluence up north giving us 10" of overrunning then that primary low will transfer its energy to a new coastal at the Virginia Capes and Move NE to ENE from there giving us another 10-12" on a NNE flow winds gusting to 35-40 mph around the High to the north and the low to our southeast and east. Total snow in Media 22" Let's Go!!
If I had to make forecast right now I’d say 6-10” along 95 areas with a change over to sleet and freezing rain towards the end of the storm.
NE Maryland 8-12” before flip to sleet and Frz Rain
South Jersey 5-8” before flip
Right at the beaches 4-6” before flip to sleet freezing rain then just rain.
Chester Bucks Montgomery Counties:
10-15” some sleet may mix in at times
I think our max amounts as of right now is 16” favored northwestern Chester Bucks Montgomery Counties.
Poconos 10”
