sauss06 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I came across this old NYC metro thread the other day that is a pretty good quick basic set of nowcasting type maps http://www.americanwx.com/bb/index.php/topic/42006-storm-tracking-images/ Thank you. I just went over and was looking at them, i'm certainly not an expert, but that looks to be in our back yards before later tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmister Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Had a little fun in Google Earth to generate this: http://origin.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/pwpf/wwd_percentiles.php?ftype=percentiles&fpd=72&ptype=snow This is the WPC's latest 72 hour 90th percentile snow accumulation. I find it interesting that Central PA has a more extreme high range than PHL, NYC on northeast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauss06 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 It was about as angry red as if we were walking into Mordor... pictures don't even do it justice to show how blood red it was for a few minutes IMG_76262.JPG A friend of my mine lives up there off of trail lane, his GF posted some pictures on FB this morning, the red was awesome!

kerplunk Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Am always amazed that some radar sites still insist on using Adobe Flash. Anyone who still has Flash installed on their computer/device is being just plain foolhardy in terms of security. Many sites now at least provide an alternative, if not having abandoned Flash altogether. Check this out as an example of a decent non-Flash site: http://www.wunderground.com/wundermap/ Don't have anything personal against Flash. In fact, I taught a 400 level course at PSU where I supplied all my students with the original version - which at that time was named "FutureSplash" - prior to Macromedia, and then Adobe buying them. And I used Flash for years in many of my own multimedia/video projects. But it has long since outlived its usefulness and it's a shame that Adobe keeps it chugging along with all the unending security vulnerabilities.

paweather Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 WOW. Through 27 just demolished, NAM stays consistent and northern areas get hit. 33 still going: http://mag.ncep.noaa.gov/ImageFourPanel.php?model=nam&group=Model Guidance&preselected_formatted_cycle_date=20160122 12 UTC&area=namer&cycle=12&fhr=033¶m=500_vort_ht|1000_500_thick|700_rh_ht|850_temp_ht&ps=area&size=medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matrix961 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 We may see snow before rush hour in the Harrisburg area I was wondering the same thing. Although I've been fooled before because of humidity and evaporation. In Camp Hill we are at around 54% or so humidity so if that moisture gets to us sooner than later should we see some light snow falling early? Or is that still too dry? I guess it also depends on how much moisture gets to us early. Any tips on what to look at to determine this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canderson Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The NAM has a boner for giving Pennsylvania a crapload of snow apparently. Geeeeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips on what to look at to determine this? i would look at what is being reported to be reaching the ground vs radar to see what is being lost to evaporation and what reaches surface weather.rap.ucar.edu/surface/java_metars/index.php?appletsize=large <-- though site has been down all morning for me https://mping.ou.edu/display/ <-- mPing Reports I wouldn't be surprised if we see several hours of flurries (in which people will freakout thinking its turning bad already) starting early this afternoon before the good stuff arrives tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
