I think it'll be a fun storm but wouldn't be shocked at something like 4 to 7". Not just going just off the NAM, but thermals plus our most favorable models keep cutting back a bit. Hope I'm wrong as hell. I'm still going to enjoy it. This will be our best winter event in a long time around here. Last January will have been much more fun for MBY if things go as now expected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitchnick Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Problem I'm seeing on all the worst modeling is that the primary is in TN, the models show weak low pressure off the coast, but a refusal of the primary to die and transfer it's energy to the coastal. Instead, the primary survives, pumping in warm air aloft as it slowly moves east, and once it makes to the coast it dumps on ENE and our precip has shut off. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love 5” of snow and I’ll keep that as my O/U barring a really seismic shift at 18z. Kinda want to drop it to 3” snow but maybe I’m a total downer.

high risk Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 18 minutes ago, baltosquid said: I sure hope the RRFS MPAS core is wrong. Gets crazy amounts of freezing rain all up the beltway. It's an 06z run as it is delayed but that would be devastating. The FV3 RRFS is also going bonkers with the freezing rain. I *think* it's way, way overdone and favor the sleet bomb idea of the NAM, but this will have to watched closely tomorrow. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My house and everybody’s house is pretty much below freezing for the whole event.. mazel tov to that! And it won’t be 50 on Tuesday either another fun thing that happens around here as you know.

87storms Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 23 minutes ago, EastCoast NPZ said: It seems from experience that the mix line always pushes faster and further north than modeled / forecasted. I cannot recall one event where we got less mix than forecasted. Oh the sleet line is incoming lol (damn near every model has it) but I think we dominate the initial round. This airmass is brutal. I’m not playing basketball outside today and that says something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, geting a winter storm at the start of an arctic intrusion is not all that common. School may be closed for most if not all the week in spots.

alexj7 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Every 6 hours I check back in and the mixing is earlier and earlier. I’m seeing now around 9 AM. Unfortunately, that will really limit the ability for people to enjoy the storm. We’ll have kids home for likely two days stuck inside, and going out in sleet and freezing rain isn’t a good time. I’d much rather be on the northern fringe and get 4” of powder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpeast Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Comparing gfs forecast for 18z today with current radar Seems faster? Sleet line a bit south 8 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltosquid Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Hmmm, however the UKMET is more aggressive with temps later and flirts with outright rain in the metros. I don't think that will happen at this point given pretty much everything else but probably means more of a FZR event in reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
