SnowenOutThere Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 Just now, yoda said: No it's not Pivotal has a weird brief period of mixing hit DC around hour 93 before heavier precip switches it back to snow but with this sounding it may just be snow.

Terpeast Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 GFS soundings at both IAD and DCA show a nose between 750-825mb just touching 0 C. This should stay snow verbatim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 2, 2025 Author Share Posted January 2, 2025 For the northern folks it's around 6", then quickly gets to 8 around b'more...then up to 10 around like Columbia/DC.

LP08 Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 The worst sounding i pulled for the run is just during lighter precip and even then its mostly snow. Ninja'd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terpeast Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 might see some mixing when rates decrease upon dry slot, but that's really nbd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 Has a little bit of backend snow at hour 108, and honestly (though a met may want to chime in) seems somewhat close atmospherically to having a more prolonged period of coastal enhancement.

DDweatherman Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 Just about all of us would lock and load that GFS run and sleep until Sunday morning when the obs thread opens up. Nice run there, good column, heavy QPF with great moisture advection and forcing overhead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravens94 Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 Definitely adjusting north run with the precip and getting warmer at 850 every run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeguyfromTakomaPark Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 It's a good run, has us 30-31 Monday afternoon whereas the Euro has us 26-27. Either one works really. More total QPF that the Euro it seems so they'd probably be similar outcomes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hour 93 there's sleet, and after heavy snow for 6 hours or so we turn into sleet and freezing rain again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormtracker Posted January 2, 2025 Author Share Posted January 2, 2025 1 minute ago, Deck Pic said: regardless of verbatim runs, at this point I'm accepting that I might mix or flip. Hopefully 90%+ liquid is snow first. I mean, we always should living here. But dude made like it was 3 hours of pure sleet. GFS did not show this. Could in the future tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted January 2, 2025 Share Posted January 2, 2025 I want to caution that this is just one run, and as a reminder, this is a global model that may not have the best resolution for working out the ptype details per soundings. The mesos will help us with that starting tomorrow afternoon-ish. If this holds, should be "mostly" snow for the DC/Balt metros. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
