Bob Chill Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 3k nam soundings are pretty interesting. Warm layer is mostly above 800mb during much of the precip and it's fairly shallow. Very borderline soundings that don't really give confidence in any direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a lot of frozen precip (i.e., sleet, frza) on top of any snow. Depth: 10:1 I’m lovin, touchin, and squeezin the 10:1 map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakkelWx Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wow these snow maps. Goldsboro, MD looks like it could be snow/wintry mix for a couple hours then rain possibly for the rest of the event. Still a win because it's only mid-November.

Yeah, but I'll be very satisfied with the other. 2-3 inches in mid Nov is sweet. I looked at my records which go back to 1979. 15th- 0.5 1986, T 2014 16th- T 2007, T 2008 So just about anything accumulating is gonna be a record. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 The 3km NAM has the Ferrier SLR in addition to the 10:1 SLR. Not gonna post the maps but there is a dramatic difference lol. Of course the concept with the Ferrier correction is to be more accurate with modeled snow accumulations in marginal storms, and where there is a likelihood of sleet.

sarcean Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Wondering how Snowshoe, WV might fare. Some of the (clown) maps are calling for some high totals in the WV mountains - even the RLX NWS is calling for a 1 in 10 chance of 12". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not one to be too positive but I think most areas west of the bay will see a period of frozen more than just TV snow. Sun angle is ok if that matters.

yoda Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 18z RGEM suggests light snow starts falling at DCA at around 10z THUR... to maybe a short period of mod snow at 12z? 18z RGEM is also a few hours faster than the 12z run and a bit colder as well to start comparing 12z at 48 to 18z at 42 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthArlington101 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Anyone know what the standard ratio for sleet is? RGEM just absolutely whacked parts of Virginia with sleet/ice. ~.75" frozen in Cville but I don't think any of it was snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BristowWx Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I believe sleet will be the big story for many when we do the after storm analysis. Thickness just not great for many to support a good snow event. Ice is cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Latest GFS strengthened the high (1040) and put it in a better position while moving precip in the area faster. Nice tiny little changes that will hopefully continue to add up. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thickness just not great for many to support a good snow event. Ice is cool. Totally agree. I really like sleet except when it happens unexpectedly during a snow event. Forecasted sleetstorms are great. Especially in deep winter when it's below freezing. Nothing has the staying power of glaciated sleetcover. Feb 07 was the epitome of glaciation I'm ready to set my bar for this event in my yard. I'll go with anything at or above 1" measurable as a huge success. Don't care if it's snow/sleet/grauple/mangled dendrites or anything in between. I want to measure 1"+ on my patio table and call this event a huge success. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
