clskinsfan Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I mean this is insane. Not sure I have ever seen a national radar look like this. We may not get a historic storm here. But there is no doubting this is a historic storm as far as national coverage goes. Wow. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Verbatim it’s meh with 4-5” across the area. But it has an intense band of precip from 16-19z across the area as sleet but it’s super close. It’s only +1 at about 750 mb. Every other layer is fine. This is 700 which is the closest layer I can get represented but it’s close to the warmest layer. If it’s 1* colder across this area from 16-19z it would be 10” instead of 4” This trend has been on the last 2 runs and now it’s super close to a better result Actually PSU I don't mean to be a complete ass but I want to mention the the warm nose is more at 800mb, so that's not going to be snow even if it were 1*C colder.

coastal front Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Once the waa thump beefs up towards sunrise with 1-3” an hour rates it should slow the sleet line a bit. Something farther south doesn’t have right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that if the changeover happens sooner than expected then it'll be way less than most are forecasting.

psuhoffman Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 14 minutes ago, Bob Chill said: I'm 60 miles north of that line The better argument is that the rgem/euro and other guidance that gives us 8-12” does so by sticking an incredibly intense band over us from 10-16z. It’s a lot easier for WAA to win in light to moderate precip than it will be to advance if there is a band of .1 qpf/hr+ stuff over the area. It’s all going to come down to that really imo. The NAM doesn’t have that. It shifts the heavy banding way up into central PA and the WAA routes us because there is no dynamic cooling to slow it down. Basically if this is what’s going on from 10-16z the snow will hold on longer north of about 66 and definitely north of a Winchester to Baltimore line this on the other hand, ain’t gonna get it done Everyone is focused on the temps on the NAM, the real issue is why is the NAM missing the heavy banding tomorrow morning that all other guidance has. That’s why the mid level warmth surges north from 10-15z there is nothing to slow it down on the NAM. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disc Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Based off what I can tell, the transition line is from about Lewisburg, WV, east to Lynchburg, VA and then drops SE towards Emporia. This seems to line up fairly well with guidance so far. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psuhoffman Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 4 minutes ago, Ji said: Lol he isn’t talking about dca Sorry up here it was higher up at 16z. Assumed it was similar further south. it’s super close 70 north. DC not so much. Unfortunately I think DC south is cooked for the bigger snow totals. Things are tightening up and the gradient looks to end up somewhere near a Leesburg to Baltimore line with snow totals going from 3-5” south of that to 10” north or there pretty quick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
