Ji Posted February 14 @Ji UKMet keeps DC below freezing for the entire storm. Main sfc reflection is along the coast instead of the OH valley. First of the more reliable guidance (though UKmet does have some wacky solutions out in time it seems) to really do that, so I'm skeptical. Like you said probably more sleet than snow but 850s don't look too bad. Probably a warm layer above that.There was a cluster of eps that did that. Today euro run is most important of my life 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psuhoffman Posted February 14 9 minutes ago, Ji said: Even if half is sleet...ill take this and call it a February Keep an eye on that sneaky wave around the 22/23. After that don’t assume everything cuts north the end of Feb into March if the NAO does go neg again. As wavelengths shorten it gets really hard for waves to cut with a -NAO regardless of the pac pattern. It might not be a cold pattern but odds would favor some systems sliding east under the block. For places like leesburg and Winchester and up here that works even in a not truly cold pattern. Historically that has worked in the cities too. There were plenty of late season snowstorms where temps the day before were very mild in the past. But I honestly don’t know about 95 anymore. I need to see some “marginal” boundary temp setups break their way just once to believe they even still can anymore. It’s been a long time since we saw a setup like that work for DC. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

psuhoffman Posted February 14 9 minutes ago, clskinsfan said: The GFS is pumping up the SE ridge again in the long range. Just in time to ruin our chances in late February. Op run at range. Dont care. Remember what I said yesterday about details at range. Even with the SE ridge going about as ape as I think is possible (seasonal trend says it will be less) the op gfs snows on central PA 3 times from Feb 22 on! At those ranges that’s the same as a hit. An op at those leads cannot pin down the boundary within that level of geographic detail. So long as the NAO is negative again we will have a chance for waves to get suppressed. Don’t take my word for it go back and look at the pacific in March 2018. It was PUTRID. Didn’t matter. Same in some other March cold snowy Nina’s. It’s really hard for waves to cut with a -NAO in March. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
