jacindc Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I've decided to drive home Tuesday before onset, so I've guaranteed it will fall apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osfan24 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I mean, maybe this is a step back to just a quick squall line and you get your coating to an inch depending upon if you get the stronger part of the line or not, but it's one run. I'm not jumping yet. And just a squall line, if it's like some of the better ones we've had in the past, would still be a really fun event. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ji Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 what happened to the rock solid consistent euro...or do we not count the off runs(unless they give us more snow like as we got closer to Jan 11-12 lol). Anyway...i think we need to wait till 00z before we saw the euro blew it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LP08 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Well the NAM is quite further off the coast with the Sunday/Monday coastal. Consistent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the upside is like 0.4 qpf and that may be generous. But a burst of .25 in a short window will be fun nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MN Transplant Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 The NAM is tough to decipher. It is really hitting on a squally frontal passage at about 3z for the DC metro. What exactly is the precip type? I’m not sure I’d stick out my neck on either. Another thing to point out - the cold is relatively pedestrian with the frontal passage. It is the second pulse late in the day on Wednesday that really brings the chill. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time the flip happens (if it does as each run the bl is increasingly warmer) most of the 700-850mb fronto lift is thru the area and flying on ENE. White rain at best. Hopefully we can cash in on some squalls associated with the PV pinwheeling around as it wobbles by to the N on wed-thurs. That may actually be the 'biggest event' of the week imo....not the fropa nor the upcoming weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid levels seemed ok but always assumed the surface would eventually be ok due to the big bad PV coming down. I still think the Fropa has legs for a fun couple of hours on Tuesday night. I’ve always thought this was a 1-3 type deal so I’m still sticking with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bar is at 0.5”...more than that and I’m happy considering we don’t usually do well in these types of setups. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking back at the 18z GFS, the wind profile post-front quickly changes back to SWerly early in the day on Wednesday. The GFS doesn’t get any QPF to us with the good pulse late in the day on Wednesday, but that would be the perfect time for a squall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWS Mount Holly mentioned this afternoon they were monitoring for possible snow showers and squalls on Weds with the real push of cold air. I have not read any updates recently.

Bob Chill Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 One of the trends I don't like in the upper levels is guidance is moving away from the elongated pv and sharp negative tilt. The 12z euro run yesterday is one of the runs that looked really good at h5. That's shifted to a more run of the mill upper level setup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said yesterday rather have that model in my corner when all the other models were really not showing it. I beg to differ now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, I follow several sources, but have not heard any stats about scoring on the 18z and 6z compared to traditional runs. What I have heard, as you know, those off hour runs of the Euro are useful for trend analysis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
