WxUSAF Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Without being a weenie, I’d say to ignore the Canadian (look how far northwest the track is compared to the rest) and weight the GFS thermal profile low relative to the euro and 3k nam. This is an interesting test for the FV3. It’s been colder than the op GFS on this storm so far. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this storm will be a great test as well for the FV3... its snow/sleet algorithm on TT really needs to be fixed though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 New GFS doesn't look as good now, either. You can't really tell what happens between 18 and 24 though. I'm guessing it's a short period of snow and sleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eskimo Joe Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Per Wes: Quote Jason will be writing today's article on the coming storm. I'll be providing a quote. This is still a tricky forecast as cold air damming can be tenacious but recently the NAM has been running a tad cold. Look to the HRRR and high resolution NAM forecasts of surface temps they should be better than those of the GFS. Looks like mostly rain for DC and places east and south as strong southeasterly winds at 850 mb help shove a warm layer through the region. Yes DC might see a brief period of sleet with maybe a few flakes mixed in at onset but with no real accumulations to impact the commute. North and west of the city slick roads could develop especially as you get into Montgomery county and western Fairfax county. I'll post Jason's Capital Weather Gang article when it comes out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only possibly snows/sleets in Baltimore, for example, for a max of six hours and probably much less than that, yet it shows 9 inches. But yes, 1/4 of that would be pretty historic and quite exciting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how that can differ. And this is clearly a case when the 10:1 ratios won't come close to working. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichmondTarHeel Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Now I know how the Richmond folks on this forum felt all these years. No idea where we fit into the conversation since the discussion here is so DMV specific. Also, sorry to the Richmond folks for bringing the snow curse back down South this year.

I was just looking at the precip panels and seeing how little time it was potentially snowing or sleeting over us and didn't see how it could possibly add up to that, but that makes sense. And obviously the 10:1 ratio throws it off as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this were early December and the same apparent outcome were to happen I’d probably be a little more miffed, but I’m more interested to see storm after storm heading up the coast with plenty of cold air around. No updates to this IMBY forecast. May the rest of you fare as well as I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we score or not I am just happy to see how these systems are evolving. Good omen for just down the road. Besides I have a feeling in the next couple/few days we will have a system or two to track for shortly after Thanksgiving. Would definitely ease the pain for some in here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER53 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Dewpoints are key and not onset time. We can survive post sunrise as this is a late Jan sun. March events onset time would be main concern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would go a long ways if the 18-0z suites tick colder in the mids. If they don't then it has the feel that the euro is too cold imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
