12/2 Cold Rain and High Elevation Snow

[TSSN+]

Nam and euro just a bit different at h5…

Aren't the NAMs going away next month?  I don't know why they don't just put them to rest.

[Weather Will]

WB 12Z RRFS is the NAM replacement, I think.

I like how you changed the arc of your line just in time to keep it just north of stephens city. Lol

That area is where the drop in elevation starts out of Winchester. Could very well be wrong, but this setup has happened historically, much to your chagrin, so I went that route. I do think you could see an inch out that way, but better chance just north.

I think euro is the only model showing such a depiction. Either it will cave, or all the other models will cave to the euro. I think we will know with tonight’s 00z runs. 

who do you think has a better handle on the solution right now?

Given how terribly did with the February threat...I'm not trusting it, lol

Euro/eps doing best with general pattern, but not sure about thermals. Could turn out to be flatter/weaker but warmer like gfs/nam.

Extremely meteorological forecast of where I think the best chance to score 1" of snow from the event could end up. If you are north of the red line, potential. South, probably not. 

EXTREMELY METEOROLOGICAL

Frederick is overdue for a win in the snow department. I’m pretty sure Bethesda has gotten more snow since I moved here.

18z GFS looks a hair more south?????

If we ever get a real snowstorm, AI ensembles going to look like 12k NAM and RGEM had a baby

Yeah, we noticed that looking at the MSLP member plots and looking at the ptype output. It's skewed high and some gaudier members in there too. I think what the AIFS and ECWMF deterministic are showing are pretty good agreement with the op more on the drier side in the northwest edge of the precip field. EC has had a drier bias in that area over the past few years and beefs up a bit as move closer. Unless there's a purely synoptic based reasoning for that sharper delineation on the northwest edge of a cyclone, there will likely be a small correction. I think we are closing in on a more reputable solution.

Pretty much.  His map is how I think this one will play out. A classic N and W special. Us city folks gotta wait a little longer. Hopefully the 6th or 10th comes thru.

Not much different than 12z so least no north shift let’s see what 0z holds.

Doesn't it feel like we haven't had a classic "N & W Special" in awhile? I mean the last several years have been more S & E specials!

Sure. Yes. 

I was caring for my elderly mom but am not currently so...zing. Sorta, I guess. 

[North Balti Zen]

I am in Fallston now, so probably better for Parkton than when I was in Monkton or Hunt Valley.

18z euro is a hold, better than 12z
