GramaxRefugee Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 29f here and might make 28. Think the forecast busted high by 6 or 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Yeah what a morning. After days and days of dreary weather- fog, drizzle and some rain, a perfectly clear morning. Temp is 32 with very heavy frost. Probably the most white I will see on the ground until next winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattie g Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Love the mornings when it's chilly with some frost, then the sun comes up and nukes every ice crystal it touches. You just know it's going to end up being a beautiful day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Finally sunny! Hopefully the freeze this morning slows down trees and flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs.J Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 SUN!!! As I get older I am realizing that I do not do well when we have a spell of grey overcast skies. I was in a serious funk the end of last week into the weekend. I know the clouds will be back tomorrow and rain after that. But am going to soak this all in to tap off my reserves.

George BM Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 .LONG TERM /FRIDAY THROUGH TUESDAY/... Coastal low pressure will rapidly intensify Friday into Friday night off the New England Coast. Strong northwest winds are expected across our area on the back side of the low. The strong winds will combine with a saturated ground to pose a threat for tree damage. Exact strength of the winds are uncertain because there is still uncertainty as to how strong the low will be and how close to the coast the low will develop. Either way...it will be windy and damaging wind gusts are possible. The strong northwest winds will usher in seasonably chilly conditions. A few showers are possible...and there will be enough cold air for snow showers in the mountains. For most areas any precipitation will be light...but an upslope flow for locations along and west of the Allegheny Front means that accumulating snow is possible. ...

Jebman Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 We will fail at rain, too, that batch to the southwest will MISS us, pass to the south. Amazing year so far. We will get about four drizzle droplets, but most of the rain will miss to the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jebman Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Increasing confidence about 99 percent of the rain in this upcoming "soaker", will miss much of N VA. It is basically a SE Special, there will be many frantic water rescues down there due to waterlogged ground with much more heavy rain falling on top of it. This system will transfer its energy to a massive Benchmark storm that will cripple Boston, much of the SNE region, and Maine with snow, while battering us mostly with strong gusty NW winds Friday night and Saturday. The Appalachians may enjoy a few inches of upslope snow as well. The big story in DC with this particular storm will be strong wind gusts and wind damage mainly caused by falling trees. The strong cool advection will finally bring us back down to seasonable temps lol. Of course, we wont get much rain. I like rain way too much. Thats why we wont get much more, than sporadic light drizzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MN Transplant Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Stepping through the models available on weather.us, peak gusts at my house: 00z Euro: 66+mph 06z NAM 3k: 57mph 06z Swiss: 60mph 06z German: 66+mph 06z GFS: mid-upper 50s They may all be overdone, but that is a heck of a signal.
