TSG Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 When is the last time we had a similar positive trend so close to game time? I've only been "tracking" since ~2012/13 but this to me is a remarkable 180 from yesterday/last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East on 64 toward Wmbrg things will be dicey however. Just my take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the longest bars are in between the DGZ delineations it means great dendrite production. 16 minutes ago, Eskimo Joe said: You want as much lift as possible concentrated within the DGZ as possible for as long as possible. Thanks to you both. I never noticed that feature on skews before, is it only included during winter, or am I just oblivious? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have seen this both be beneficial as well as painful.. it is not as uncommon as you would think! Even the December Storm had a shift north. It is always a possibility and many times if you are on the north fringe of the best precip, it ends up shifting in the last 24 hours.. especially these North to South gradient systems. But yes.. usually they kill chances and we are all left deflated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final hours north/south trend I'm familiar with. I'm more talking about the sudden increase in QPF. Last night I was hoping DC would get 0.2-0.3... Now that seems like a slam dunk and probably closer to the bust scenario. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhineasC Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 A nice 4-6 cold snow in January with no mixing across the area is nice. Seems so rare these days. Usually boom or bust in these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What appears to be happening is the storm is stronger and increasing the amount of precipitation across the area. To infer the storm is moving north is incorrect. If anything the northern extent of the precipitation shield has moved south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing against those south of RIC but if you think about it you would be to that forum what psu, mappy, sparky, land the others way north are to this one. Not a bad place to be.

Trend north at the last minute put DC/NOVA in WSW snowfall. Came on the front end of the pattern change that brought significant blocking and two HECS to the region. This feels similar.

jayyy Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 NAM/RGEM show warning snows for dc and all of central / southern MD. GFS members and Euro show advisory level for most with warning level south. Solid trend. Imagine 00z ticks just a hair more north....

I was thinking the same thing, lived in Arlington for that one (and that winter) it was so awesome in DC that Saturday. Cold smoke, high ratios......hoping we are somewhat similar in this storm and then what happened afterward, liking the late bump in QPF across pretty much all guidance.......

To infer the storm is moving north is incorrect. If anything the northern extent of the precipitation shield has moved south. The coastal low is forming further north and west than previous runs. Being tucked closer to the coast is enhancing precip. The northern extent has moved south but that's because the confluence is coming in stronger than progged. Basically, the storm is getting compressed with slp further north and all of this has been to the benefit of our region. Good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midatlanticweather Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Coastal gets going a bit further south so less love up this way. Gives RIC or just north reason to rejoice a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives RIC or just north reason to rejoice a bit. The whole thing looks better. The lower totals north are just a result of banding. I like the increases south and east. Look at the uptick in totals near St. Louis and east of there in the last 12 hours. It’s showing over a foot in areas it showed 7 or 8 inches for 12 hours ago.

Not accurate. Much better if you're south of Stafford county, but a downtick for most of the area. Verbatim, less than 0.3" at DCA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
