jwilson Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If you look at thermal profiles, you have the EURO/Canadian/NAM in one camp and the GFS in the other. The 6Z Euro was a slight step colder to a bunch of previous runs, as were the 12Z NAM and 12Z RGEM. Most of the models bring the 850s and surface temps above freezing up to Morgantown, while the GFS remains the most progressive with the transfer. Really, that transfer to the coastal low taking over as the primary is the key element regarding our thermal progression. If the primary low inland continues to dominate longer and maintains a northward push, that's how we get the warm tongue. The depth of the antecedent cold air should give us an advantage. The overall blocking is limited, though, which is why we're even talking about this. I guess you'd typically take a blend and cut the middle road, which should still keep PIT and most of the surrounding areas snow, but with the GFS kind of on an island, you'd take a bit less of it. I think Morgantown is a much trickier forecast. They could end up with 6" of pure snow and then a mix to rain. Either way, NWS will have to revise totals down for some of West Virginia, I think. GFS is the only model that keeps the state fully frozen. I don't think I'll be totally comfortable until we get most of the high-res models in range. It's a very delicate microclimate feature for our area. Those of you north of the city proper have nothing to worry about, though. The only other question is snowfall enhancement with the passing of the upper level trough after the main vort is through. Next weekend has potential, too, but it's a bridge too far right now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Maybe this squall line can stay together as it heads south and we get brief heavy squall later this afternoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colonel717 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 GFS looks to get snow in a little earlier than 6z. Its a crusher but moves so fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
