PennMan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not sure what to make of the radar. Seems like the back edge is collapsing, but I suppose a deform band sets up somewhere? We are at 44.1 and dropping steadily. We were at 50.1 at 7 am. Hope you guys can see something measurable out of this, even though I'm home for Spring Break. Still 53° with mod-heavy rain at the moment. The new automated rain gauge reads .86" for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 looking at the RUC....the next wave reinstates some precip. And the NAM has upped us to 10.9" on the Cobb Data Table: http://www.meteor.iastate.edu/~ckarsten/cobb/cobb.php?model=nam&site=kunv Somebody get the NAM's car keys and cut him off.

PennMan Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I think the GFS is much more realistic. NAM is wacky. Agreed. 10.9" Even gives Harrisburg an inch of snow at the end after well over 2" of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 GFS looks pretty good! Yeah, it does. Not bad at all for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieOber Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Agreed. 10.9" Even gives Harrisburg an inch of snow at the end after well over 2" of rain. I am looking forward to seeing what it has for the latest GFS. It's looking to me like it is insinuating solid advisory snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Clouds Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 I have .54 of rain so far today. So there is a lot more rain still coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daxx Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Here in Eastern York county only 0.30" so far. It looks like most of the heavy rain is in the western part of the county for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Clouds Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Here in Eastern York county only 0.30" so far. It looks like most of the heavy rain is in the western part of the county for now. That is probably right because I have .56 now and it is raining pretty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Not sure what to make of the radar. Seems like the back edge is collapsing, but I suppose a deform band sets up somewhere? We are at 44.1 and dropping steadily. We were at 50.1 at 7 am. The low pressure wave riding up the coastal plain has a nice comma head of heavier precip and should reset the back edge of deform precip (and looks like it has since i've come back from church) near Pittsburgh where it should remain somewhere between there and us for awhile as the low rolls up by us. JST is 30 and over to unknown now but appears to be snow on some of the roadcams. AOO and UNV prolly has another 1-2 hours before mixing starts. Accumulations are ultimately going to depend on how long the precip screws around turning over and how hard it falls during the daylight hours.

PottercountyWXobserver Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 1.09" of rainfall for the storm and 3.0" of snow at the moment. The deform band looks to be pivoting back towards the west a little bit, filling in the back edge of the precip. It's not snowing very hard but if we can keep snowing for a few more hours, we could end up with 5 or 6" Someone in Tioga or Bradford county is getting slammed right now and should have the highest totals for PA, that is where the heavier snow is occuring for the storm.
