    Also, starting to see some banding on the northern fringe show up on the hires models. Wouldn't be surprised to get nothing hardly any snow, except for one band that moves through, dropping a quick half inch

    The 17z HRRR move the moisture inland more rapidly. Starts to blossom along the coast at around 5 pm

    They've done a great job with this storm, given the hand they've been dealt.

    The hires NAM reflectivity map looks great, but the precip map shows zero in the Triad. Will be fascinating to see how this plays out.
  5. olafminesaw
    Some notes for the Triad The trends east on the last few runs of the HRRR/RAP seem to be due to a layer of dry air not far above the surface. Could be hard to overcome. Compare this to last night's sounding at GSO when very light snow was falling. Even with dry air working in from the front, the column is fairly well saturated. Finally, you can see this layer of dry air just above the surface already showing up this morning, so the HRRR, may, unfortunately be correct.

    Meanwhile, Brownsville Texas has reported snow the past few hours
  7. olafminesaw
    Odd sounding, dry air all the way up the column. Not sure if this would yield precip, or what

    Almost reminds me of lake effect snow showers in Pittsburgh. At least you can get decent squalls with that, but it amazes me how any given January day, there's a high chance of seeing light snow showers. Kinda takes the fun out snow.

    Sounding that does not inspire confidence (although much improved a few hours later). We'll see hours upon hours of flizzard conditions, with a 3-6 hour window for light to moderate accumulations

    GFS very similar to last run. A light to moderate snowstorm for most of the sub

    Funny how WAA aloft disappears as soon as you need it most
  14. olafminesaw
    RGEM looks much like the 0z Euro. More suppressed than last run
  15. olafminesaw
    It's still perhaps closer to a good outcome than it appears. Small changes yield big changes in results. We really need that initial northern energy to die out so the energy in Texas can amplify
  16. olafminesaw
    Don't think the NAM will be a good run for NW areas, but we shall see. Seems to be keying in more on the first piece of energy, which doesn't get the job done
  17. olafminesaw
    It's going to be painful for those on the N and W fringes watching the precip run into a wall of dry air for hours and hours
  18. olafminesaw
    The snow in WV/Northern VA a separate wave on the back end of the initial frontal passage
  19. olafminesaw
    Better than expected. Many would take this in a heartbeat (although note that the fringes will shrink with time as the forecast gets nailed down)
  20. olafminesaw
    Seems to me a step in the right direction for the NW gang. Moves a bit towards the idea of the low continuing to develop as it progresses east
  21. olafminesaw
    Struggling to take seriously a model that spits out this:
  22. olafminesaw
    Yeah, I feel like the hr 84 NAM tends to be like... "Hey look! A storm!", When sometimes suppression makes more sense
  23. olafminesaw
    Delayed, but still gets the job done. Lots of ice for coastal areas
  24. olafminesaw
    I'm definitely worried the phase will just keep getting delayed and it will only be a storm for Wilmington to VA beach
  25. olafminesaw
    Definitely more east, but still fairly amped. Supports the continued idea of a big hit for the coastal plain
