psnnstater77 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Seems like the streamers are breaking up a bit? Is this due to the low starting to pull away? RECENT RADAR AND SATELLITE DATA COUPLED WITH HRRR MODEL OUTPUT SHOW THE PERSISTENT SNOW SHOWER BANDS ACROSS WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA OF EARLIER TONIGHT SHOULD DECREASE IN INTENSITY AND COVERAGE OVERNIGHT. CLOUD TOPS HAVE BEEN WARMING AND HRRR MODEL OUTPUT SUPPORTS THIS TREND. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 This is why LES usually doesn't excite me all that much. I usually get left out of the party when it's occurring. I picked up about a half inch. Oh well. The curse of living in the South Hills I guess. We sometimes get lucky with LES down this way, but not too often. Anyway, I guess we can start focusing more on the possible weekend storm. Sent from my T-Mobile G1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lwg8tr0514 Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 HOLY CRAP!!!!!! Hey Eastern Wx Peeps! Good to see something to watch the next week. DT over on StormVista seems to think a GL\OV whopper also, I-95 looks like a washout with temps too warm for any serious accumulation. But as with all models let's get to within 48 hours before we break out the shovels and snowblowers, I have seen too many fantasy storms in the 150hr range go through the lakes or out to sea.

north pgh Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 With my untrained quick looking of models here is what I get so far from Sunday-Monday storm. Latest 12GFS has low tracking directly over us and then a new one taking over on the coast. My guess would be that warm air ahead of the storm would bring rain on Sunday turning to snow sunday night and monday? Anybody with more experience want to add their input? I know it is still very early and models will change. At least we still have something to track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
