MD Snow Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 13 minutes ago, DCTeacherman said: Worse, trending the wrong way. The LPC and heavy precip .75” isn’t shifting south. The confluence to the north is flexing and shifting south. Relax that slightly and precip comes back north. A north trend is never a gaurentee but the system isn’t getting weaker it’s just that precip is getting sheared off. Any slight relaxation or strengthening of the confluence will have big implications for how far north precip makes it or doesn’t. At least the core of heavy precip isn’t really moving south and the lpc isn’t getting kicked down to georgia. My goal for today is that things don’t get worse than what the 6z Euro just showed.

Chris78 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Here's a good visual of the trends over the past 3 model cycles of the GFS. We really need a reversal today. We are only about 48 hours away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing. The wave guide over North America sucks for this threat, and the confluence is never lined up for us, even worse for areas to our NE. Amazing too, no storms to the benchmark yet , and it is mid Feb. Disturbances fly in and exit right. Maybe that changes at the very end of Feb, if we get the trough to set up in the East, as alluded to by many here. As for the short term threat, and even longer term ,say what you want about the EPS snowfall trends but it seems it is going to possibly be correct regarding less snow here than others thought , from just three days ago. Needed to have consistency and we lost it about three days ago. Lastly these threat this winter have been either coastal hugger, or surpression or cutter. And the Midwest in the target zone and the SE ridge more Nina like. We need a shake up on a grand scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridge builds in the Caribbean then expands NW, and probably nothing in the NS to compress the flow to offset it. We really do fail every which way around here lol.

nj2va Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 While DC/NVA are certainly not out of it, we need the southern trend to halt today and keep us close. If RIC can stay the bullseye today with EZF on the northern edge of 3”, I’d feel good for getting that last 24 hour push north to get NVA/DC into the 3”+ totals. I’m hosting a bunch of family this weekend in Deep Creek including six nieces and nephews who really want to see snow...even just 2-3” there would be great for them.

The core of the heavy precip really hasn't moved that much over the last couple runs. Rather, the light stuff to the north has gotten shaved off. Notice on the 6z run the max actually increased to our south. This system has plenty of juice. Get the confluence to relax a touch and we'll be in business. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing this way makes more sense vice just assuming the system is just weak sauce. the coffee is just a strong in the cup but the steam is being blown off the top above the rim...we are the top above the rim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthArlington101 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 If we are starting to draw a connection between the 12/09 storm earlier this year, then NOVA stands in a great spot right now. Most people don’t appreciate the final north jump that storm made because it wasn’t enough for most, but it the jackpot zone jumped 100+ miles from where the GFS had it 48 hours out. The EURO struggled too. Snow got to Mt. Vernon when it was modeled to struggle to get all that much past CHO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LP08 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Probably nothing but the NAM will actually be North some. Confluence is a little quicker lifting as after the deeper punch from the north. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe that is what ends up saving us in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A trend this year has certainly been to amp as we close causing a north shift following a de-amp in the mid range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
