Paweatherguy1 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Looks pretty decent to me. http://radar.weather...tlakes_loop.php Remember we are talking 1-3" not a big storm at all. just need a few hrs of .25-1". Yeah...I'm not sure what people were looking for...this was never going to be a giant swath of precip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormspotterlive Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 RR (Rapid Refresh) Brings in another round tomorrow from the lakes. Looks like even eastern pa gets in on the snow squalls tomorrow. Being it will be Friday should be interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Thinkin the bunch of precip coming soon will start as rain, but the NAM says all QPF from here on out is snow..... huhhhhh Temp still 42.1°F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasternUSWX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Radar looks good if you live in western pa elsewhere, not so much. Snowing now almost to PA/OH boarder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAG5035 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Seems like there's a pretty decent blossom of precip starting in southern PA. Changeover line trying to make a press, looks like its getting to about an Elkins-Clarksburg-Wheeling line. We'll know early when the cold air starts working in aloft because you'll see the echoes changeover on Intellicast radar in the Laurels likely before that main changeover line really works into south-central PA. I noted in my post last night that things seemed to be favoring the snow swath coming through western PA and it appears to be what this precip swath is setting up for. That's the bigger worry about folks getting snow in the I-81 corridor and east I think. These areas might not get enough precip to work with on changing over to get a noteworthy amount of snow. That's not to downplay the potential of a flash freeze due to the rapidly falling temperatures and/or enough snow to get things messy though. I'd say the I-99/US220 corridor and west is the best oppurtunity to see 1"+, and then 2-5 in the Laurels and 2-4 in the Pgh area through tomorrow.

north pgh Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Snowing in Wheeling OH. It is coming. Yes it is coming across the border. A moderate batch of rain just came through here with some wind. Now light rain and my temp is 41.9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasternUSWX Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 You're getting sleet? What is your temp? I was for about a min when the rain maxed out at .8" per hr. Might have just been cause the convection. Temp here is 44 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Nice healthy shield of precip established for central/western PA.. now we see how much of it get's wasted as rain. JSTWX should be the first one in the C-PA thread to see a changeover to snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NAM will be wrong, as I think at least .25" of the .60" forecasted as snow ends up rain. When originally it was supposed to be all snow but .05" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAG5035 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Rain, for the time being. But it's starting to drop and it's really pouring Man, talk about the winter of wasted opportunities.. this would have been one heck of a quick hard hitting snowstorm if we had just a bit more cold in place. Kinda reminds me of a warmer version of that two part storm we had last February where the rain moved thru with the initial wave, changed to a bit of ice at the end then there was a lull all day before the upper level low came crashing thru dumping a quick 6 or so.

There's still some hope. Plenty on radar in WV. Things have blossomed nicely over the last few hours But yeah.... could have been much better!!

NeffsvilleWx Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Noticed the barometer is dropping hard again. Come on Vort, explode baby. Returns look very healthy. Dropping here too, currently at 994.7 mb (yearly record so far) and falling at 0.8 mb/hr. Precip probably won't start for a while, and temp is 45 :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PottercountyWXobserver Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Temps have dropped from 41.8°F at 11PM to 40.2°F at 1130PM. The radar looks quite impressive, really looks like it literally blossoming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things have blossomed nicely over the last few hours But yeah.... could have been much better!! Yea, it actually looked like the 0z NAM had shifted the heavy precip axis back to more over central PA.. and radar trends def seem to jive with that. So I guess we'll have a good bit to work with. Eventually at some point tomorrow if the HRRR is to be believed the edge of that deform band over the lakes tries to take a stab at pivoting into the area too. Usually those types of things don't make it very well past the Laurels but should be good in western PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
north pgh Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Getting wet snow here now and 37 degrees. The rain/snow line on the radars is about 1 county off. It says I should still be rain but I've switched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says I should still be rain but I've switched. hopefully you guys can squeeze out an 1" or 2 , but moisture seems a little limited. I'm a little worried about that up here and most areas in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
