Big change, but not really for anyone in MD. Just bigger amounts for extreme Northeast MD and parts of PA and NJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxUSAF Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 GFS more robust with WAA precip and snow for tomorrow evening. 1-2” for MBY and points north and east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interstate Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 The GFS has the same basic evolution as the NAM through H48 on the H5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's better if you want a shot at some accumulation on grassy surfaces state-wide but much worse for a significant snow for places and possible travel problems.

It's pretty similar from its last run. Starts in Chester Co PA on NE. It's going to be a model war between the mesos and the globals on where that sets up. Might not resolved until tomorrow.

If you compare NAM/GFS 850 winds, you can see why the GFS deformation band is so weak. I trust the NAMs much more to handle that, as the GFS is notoriously weak with the CCB. That said, someone mentioned earlier that I'd like to see this stick around in the 00z NAM suite before fully buying in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see 0z guidance before pulling any type of triggers on advisories or warnings. 3km NAM been consistent on band into NE MD, but placement will probably jump around until gametime.

Winter Storm Watch URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Mount Holly NJ 340 PM EST Mon Mar 5 2018 ...A major snowstorm is on the way for portions of our area on Wednesday... .Unfortunately, a major nor`easter will be intensifying rapidly Wednesday afternoon along the New Jersey coast. It is expected to produce heavy wet snow for eastern Pennsylvania and portions New Jersey Wednesday. Highest amounts should be in the hilly areas. While this storm is still in watch phase, we recommend everyone with activities in eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey to have contingency plans for altering travel and how to handle possible power related impacts. These plans can then be applied once warnings are issued, which will express more confidence in this oncoming probable very high impact event. Wednesday may be a good day to just stay home and be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to have people completely caught off guard. I still like NE MD and SE PA. Your area will still see snow, but it's borderline right now on impact.

I don't think it's most likely for her neck of the woods. Parkton should at least see 2-4" minimum. Even the RGEM has the area near 3/4". This is such a tight setup. I'd bet we see some Advisories for most with upgrades to warnings pending how everything is evolving for the northern tier. 1-2" in Southern Baltimore Co might be a safe call, but I'd bump totals a little more in Mappyland.

Hmmm, that looks much farther west than the GFS and maybe even the 18z NAM. That would seem to bring that big thump right to our doorstep. Wish we could get it just a tad farther south.

RGEM did handle the storm back in December well if I'm not mistaken. It's going to be a battle heading into tomorrow's 12z runs. I think from there we'll see consensus from all guidance. I'll take mesos to handle the thermal profiles over the globals, but the H5 depiction I'd still put some faith in Euro/GFS combo with less weight on qpf distribution because those models with struggle with meso banding.
