north pgh Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Check out these snowfall totals if these storms verify. This is of course factoring in the big storm around Feb 2nd. Either way should have a nice snow pack after this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackngoldrules Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 BTW, just eye balling it this morning, I probably got around 2 inches last night. I'm glad it quit over night because I'm working today. Roads were clear by the time I left around 6AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burghblizz Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Sure Bug... Its a Miller B storm. Fairly common and some historic snow producers. We are usually limited to the initial system because when a northern system redevelops, it is too far north for the coastal to be in play. So not our wheelhouse per se, but this initial system looks robust enough for a widespread 4" or 5" Now if u mean the initial clipper intensifying as it dives south, that is not unheard of either, sometimes gulf moisture can get in play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I ended up with about 1.75 last night. Not bad considering I was in the less than 1 inch accumulation map. Both the 12z GFS and NAM both look pretty solid for the clipper Sunday night, maybe 3-5 or 4-6 a possibility. 12z and 00z both showed another clipper threat Thursday night into Friday. 00z last night was like a weenie run for our area with the early Feb storm too so as of now looks like plenty of storms to track.

Thunderhead Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Glad to hear parts of the metro received up to 2.4" per NWS PIT, and 3.75" for psunate. For Sunday afternoon-Monday, looks like a decent moderate snowfall for SW PA. An almost-closed low at 500 hPa tracks south of PA. The NE quadrant of this almost-closed low is where the best divergence (with upward vertical motion below) should be, which is currently progged for extreme SW PA (Greene-Fayette) with perhaps a shorter duration but more intense episode near Morgantown. Still decent dynamics for the rest of SW PA...but heaviest snow may fall south of PIT. Ratios could approach 15-20:1 as maximum UVV is progged near 600 hPa, where temperatures should be near -16C. Most intense snow should occur Sunday night with the 500 hPa low/trough approaching and 850 and 700 hPa lows passing to the south. Then light snow persists during the day Monday as another shortwave approaches from the NW and the area remains under weak divergent flow at 500 hPa (favoring lift). The model QPF guidance seems reasonable to me. Early call for snowfall totals at PIT is ~1" by 7 p.m. Sunday, 2-4" for 7 p.m. Sunday-7 a.m. Monday, and ~1" for 7 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday. Someone south of PIT and north of the WV/PA border may get a bit more on Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RitualOfTheTrout Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Agree, your input is much appreciated! Thanks for your input thunderhead!....always enjoy your posts! Looks like the Euro is on board for a decent hit too. After the NWS digests all the latest models I'd expect watches may go up. Could be our first warning criteria, especially for those south of Pitt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KPITSnow Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I've really got to question why kpit hasn't issued a watch. They could easily flip to an advisory, and the 3-6 forecast with the possibility of higher spikes warrants a watch. Poor job by pit IMO, and they didn't do great last night either.

colonel717 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 There has been talk of an inverted trough showing up on Tuesday. Any idea if that would affect us in WPa? SHORT TERM /7 AM SUNDAY MORNING THROUGH 6 PM SUNDAY/...LITTLE CHANGE FROM PREVIOUS EXPECTED ON SUNDAY. SOME LIGHTOROGRAPHIC SNOW MAY BE ONGOING SUNDAY MORNING ACROSS THE LAURELHIGHLANDS. WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THE APPROACHING POTENTCLIPPER WHICH PROMISES TO BRING ANOTHER LIGHT TO LOCALLY MODERATESNOW ACCUMULATION. THIS TIME IT`S THE LAURELS MOST SHARPLY FOCUSEDIN ITS CROSS HAIRS FOR SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.&&.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...CLIPPER WILL BRING SOME SNOW TO THE AREA LATE SUNDAY AFT INTOMONDAY MORNING. ENERGY WILL QUICKLY TRANSFER TO THE COASTAL LOWDURING THE DAY ON MONDAY. EXPECT THE HEAVIEST SNOW ACROSS THESOUTH CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE...GIVEN NW TO SE WARM FRONT.THUS LAUREL HIGHLANS WILL LIKELY SEE HIGHEST AMTS.DID EDGE POPS AND AMTS UP A LITTLE ACROSS THE SE...TO FITIN BETTER WITH LWX.ALSO DID UP POPS ON TUESDAY. CONCERN IS THAT INVERTEDTROUGH COULD KEEP SNOW ACROSS THE WEST INTO TUE...AND COASTALSTORM THAT DEEPENS EXTREMELY FAST MAY WRAP SNOW AROUND TO THEWEST SIDE...A CONCERN FOR THE EAST AND SE. BLOCKING HIGH TO THENORTH.STILL A LITTLE EARLY FOR AN ADVISORY ACROSS THE SOUTH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
