AfewUniversesBelowNormal Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I can't believe it was raining tonight again, Every 2-3 days it seems. There used to be 2-3 week periods of no rain, not for almost a year now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

high risk Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 hi-res guidance has a gusty line of showers on the cold front this evening. Mid-level lapse rates above a low-level inversion will be really impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news for the ski resorts. Upgraded to a warning earlier - now NWS Pitt is calling for 7-9" (I don't think I've ever seen a forecast for that odd range). I like to compare the forecasts from the other NWS offices for the ridges as well. Looks like Sterling going for 6-10" and Charleston saying 8-12". All in pretty good agreement for a nice upslope event. We've been in dire need of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDM Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Front just came through with big gust of wind and precip, that started as pea size hail. Strange. NO rain to start off the precip. Only hail for about 2 mins then transitioned to downpour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain showers moved through a few hours ago. Skies cleared, the temp spiked into the low 50's and then the winds ramped up quickly about 20 minutes ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
