Atomixwx Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 I think they would usually not issue a Warning unless the first number is 5. So 5-7, 5-10, etc. It is a watch and not a warning so really just a heads up more than a forecast. Right, it'll be turned into a WWA soon enoughSent from my motorola edge 5G UW (2021) using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I once read that they now use the midpoint of ranges to trigger the warning so I guess 4-6 could trigger it also. This is all Google info so maybe an NWS savvy met has exact thoughts.

Bubbler86 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The watch "AFD" itself suggests their reason for issue it but it also does not match his zone forecast. It does better match the zone for Nothern Dauphin. Just not sure they split counties for watches. The zone for southern Dauphin only has 2-4".

Bubbler86 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 The WB and Pivotal maps are showing a fairly large difference on the latest Nam. 1-3" depending on location. That darkish red dot in N Central is 15" on Pivotal but not 16+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AccuChris Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 0z RGEM continues to say “what snow” in central PA. Thermals are just too warm for most. 925mb temps hover around 0-+1C and surface temps top 50° on Monday and only mid-30s during height of event.

mitchnick Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Gfs well north from Nam. If this goes down as Gfs is showing, or north, Icon is hands-down the victor of all the models. It's been north of all guidance consistently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimB Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 This thing is dead. CTP jumping the gun on issuing a winter storm watch with their already piddly 5” criteria compared to the 6” criteria the entire rest of the northeast uses, seems like false hope. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all want it to snow as much as you do, but sometimes your wishcasting and “grasping at straws” approach when things are clearly trending in the wrong direction are a bit much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a second straight winter that is a complete and total failure for the eastern US becomes more and more of a possibility, it’s getting harder and harder to be positive and to not be cynical.
