KPITSnow Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 HRRR is not really dry slotting us anymore, but has mixing issues that seem pretty unbelievable to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Good news on the mixing front. At 850, above freezing temps are not making it past the center part of the storm core. Therefore as long as we are on the west side of the low, we shouldn't need to worry about mixing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought i told you to stop worrying about mixing lol Look at the sounding. This is not a sounding that would indicate a mix. Even though the radar is pink, there is nothing in the temperature profile that indicated mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gradients being shown over the county are crazy though. 6 inches in the Eastern part and a foot out near the airport. That all said we are all going to get 1-1.5 inches of QPF so I would think if those mixing issues are wrong in reality we look at 10-15 inches county wide based off that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once the air saturates, the temp shouldn't rise anymore once the precip starts Yeah, already a nice snow falling. Pavement is caving, but it was primed with how cold yesterday and this morning was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Problem is the NWS has the mix in the zones when we can least afford it: during the period with the best rates, before the possible dry slot. Why can’t we ever have a nice clean storm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 ok everyone... chill. We knew the southern areas could mix. Its understandable that morgantown could be mixing right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeB_01 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 At least on radar, morgantown looks to have changed back over to snow. Anyone down there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
