Likely not missing much Game ended and walked out into (would you believe it) more light rain. I think it’s snowing up on Shenandoah though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm trying to broaden my horizons lol HRRR is best when it's inside 8 hrs, but can more useful up to 12 hrs if it is assimilating the data correctly. It has its struggles with certain setups and is best within convective environments or well-established thermal environments. Winter is not its strong suit, but can be useful at times. Right now, regional CAMs are better at handling this type of setup. Best ascent has been modeled south through the day, but some very light precip is still plausible north of I-66, but not looking likely at this point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switched to light snow as I went from the JPJ lowlands to my dorm back at 600ft plus. Super elevation dependent or just convenient timing who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The HRRR is generally pretty good with warm season convection (minus some flaws and the inherent challenges with modeling weakly-forced storms) but has never proven itself as a winter weather model. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re: assimilating data correctly Completely unrelated, but it should show how important proper initialization is. Before June 20th (Enderlin EF5 day), most models were very consistent in showing zero prefrontal development in the potent warm sector due to very warm 700mb temperatures. However, the night before, the HRRR was the only one consistently initializing temps. Other models were running 1-2 °C too warm, which obviously led to incorrectly choking out prefrontal development. Because the HRRR was correctly initializing cooler, it was consistently showing robust prefrontal development ~18 hours pre-event, while it took the other models till mere hours before to start showing prefrontal development. If you follow svwx you know what happened later that day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrinceFrederickWx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago Officially a Trace on the snowboard, with 0.01” in the gauge. Day 11 of snow depth, which is currently at 3.3” and still hasn’t moved much, despite being above freezing the last two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxdude64 Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago A VERY light snow was falling at 7 am this morning with quite foggy conditions. I had a massive 0.3" on the board and open areas (driveway/sidewalks), but 0.5" on the old snow? Anyway, stuck with the board. Trees are pretty with the snow hanging on them. It was 31.5/29.6 at 7 am, now 31.8/30.0 at 8:30 am with just some fog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
