bjohnson102184 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Its funny most Locals had 3-6 for most of RIC.......not sure what they have been looking at.......but amazingly this a.m they are going 1-3, I just looked over the 6z suite and dont really see any reason to think that there was any data that should have cut down those numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonderdog Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 My guess is that now we can eliminate any south trends in the future for this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I judt heard on wbal radio 1090 in balto that tasselmeyer is going for 1-3 in of snow for tomorrow. Where is he getting that forecast from?? Is any model showing this, except the models mitchnick is showing on here??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have low expectations north of DC right now. And in DC for that matter. Although, confidence in DC is not high at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, confidence in DC is not high at the moment. DC needs to gt into a period of heavier snow to get 1-3 so I think it a long shot. my guess would still be in the 0-2 range or 0-1 range with the latter being more likely.

I was thinking around an inch for now. I figure if they get 2-3", at least I mentioned an inch. If it's just flurries..well no harm done either. I sort of left some room in case this does try to wobble north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clueless Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just so you folks know, the surface low is inland and much slower that previously progged down here. We are seeing a delay as much as 6-12 hours with the U/L as well. What is the relevance here of slowed progression? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastalWx Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 yea, last night I was wondering where the storm was, but things must have materialized nicely over last several hours.

winterymix Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Updated outlook for Silver Spring and points north: cool and cloudy to start the week and then a gradual warmup with midweek rain showers. For Sunday/Monday, probability of snow virga: 85%. The upcoming week should average slightly warmer than average. Probability of white lawns Sunday/Monday north of Silver Spring: 15%.

stormtracker Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ok guys, let get back on track and move the banter over to the banter thread. This is for model discussion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad1551 Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 GDO815, The +NAO , without blocking the storm moves fast. I know there's time for things to change and going on feeling is not reliable. I have seen this before and usually it stays to the south just like most models are showing. I live in Prince William county and that puts me on the fringes. I hope we do fine but I am less excited after the seeing a more southern path now.

ACFD FIREMAN Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Snow or bust. Right now i am not the happiest person ever. Looks like the storm is staying well south of our hearts. I said earlier, what do you get with +AO & +NAO during a snow threat in northern Va? Usually nothing and that is what it is looking like now. Still time to change but I am not buying it. This has nothing to do with =AO or +NAO! It has to do with confluence to our north supressing the system. Along with less southern stream amplification.

SeVa Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 What is the relevance here of slowed progression? Ya, what are the implications of a slowed progress? I assume that will allow for colder air to filter in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just flurries..well no harm done either. I sort of left some room in case this does try to wobble north. For dc I'd probably use 0-2 or t to 2" for now in case we somehow got into a heavier band. There isn't a whole lot of wiggle room but with such a tight gradient, it wouldn't take much to get into the .2 to .4 range for QPF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
