NortheastPAWx Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Judging by the "splats" that were hitting my windshield, there were a few wet snowflakes mixed in with the rain in the higher elevations along I-81 a little while ago. Can confirm the RN/SN mix in Hazleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight: Rain. Low around 36. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a tenth and quarter of an inch possible.

MGorse Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 yet, they changed their forecast for tonight to eliminate any mention of snow...which is silly, considering there's a better chance of snow tonight.. Not sure why the snow was removed tonight for your area. Soundings support it and from your post, that is indeed what is occurring. I had up to an inch for the higher elevations of the Poconos tonight in the early morning forecast issuance. Our forecast updates are done every 3 hours, so feel free to send in a report to the office. Not sure if Tony is there this evening checking this forum.

Thanks, although the snow/rain came in faster than I was thinking. I should have known though given the strengthening WAA. Enjoy your snow.

greg ralls Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 I'm scheduled to play tennis in Collegeville at 6 PM on Monday. Given the track record when I play this guy from past years, Expect a squall line to rip through Montgomery County by 6:30 PM. It seems we always hope the storms will slide to our north or south, so we decide not to cancel, but then we get blasted around 30 minutes into the match.

tombo82685 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 the radar must be picking up on melting snow flakes in the atmosphere with the high reflectivities but rainfall not supporting this. Also is causing the total precip to be to high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is causing the total precip to be to high. Yup, major bright banding going on throughout the day today. Check out some of the higher tilts... took a screenshot of the 4.3° scan which clearly shows the "ring". Large, watery snowflakes making the higher reflectivity show up between 3,000 and 5,000 feet. Here's a cross section... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
